is such a load of bull. It cracks me up how many people I've seen using it or people that I know who use it, I've literally never met anyone else who knows that its homeopathic. Same thing with cold-eeze. Ahhhhh ITS ING PLACEBO.
:mad: Yeah my mom keeps wanting me to try it. Anyone got any cold remedies that actually work? |

Put yourself into a near coma with Vitamin C.
//and water. Drink large quantities of water in frequent intervals. The rest should take care of itself. |

| Lots of vitamin C + echinacea. Both help boost the immune system. They won't CURE your cold, but they'll help fight the symptoms of it. Also, drink lots of fluids, and take some ibuprofen. :) |

is sweating excessively, ie going for a long bath or a sauna help to fight the cold? |

It'll help a lot by way of fighting the body's inflammatory response...which is where you get your sore throat and runny nose from. |

I'm the exact same way. Not much better than when you take a single advil or whatnot and it works almost immediately.
Or when you take a Vicoden or something. Good , it hits like a truck. |

| I'd be lost without Advil. Only at certain times during the month though, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. |

| don't take an excessive amounts of Vit. C. Despite of the long belief that you can never take too much, this has been proven otherwise. |
