12/14 Besides drinking water, what else can I do to help recover from
a cold?
\_ Trader Joes Zinc tablets work great for me. -- ulysses
\_ Rest. Drinking water won't help you recover, but it will keep
you from getting dehydrated. -tom
\_ Pack of smokes, a glass of scotch, and you'll be like new. -John
\_ Eat healthy, including a multivitamin and lots of vitamin C if your
diet may be lacking. Avoid too much caffeine or any alcohol.
\_ Take some Zicam.
\_ chicken soup really does help. Try Brand's "chicken essence"
6-packs from a 99 Ranch near you. -abc
\_ There are some things with a certain form of Zinc that are supposed
to help. Such as "Cold-Eeze" lozenges, or spray-into-your-nose
stuff. But they say you need to use those at the first sign of the
cold to get the most out of it.
\_ Where do we get these placebos?
\_ Walmart
\_ Way to fight a cold
Use the sacred essence, Zinc.
Not a placebo!
\_ You are a jackass
You are a big fat jackass
You are a jackass
\_ Your poor haiku lacks
the word that can make all well
Sir, you dropped your zinc.
\_ Haiku is for sucks
I say you are a jackass
Yermom drops her pants.
\_ I already popped
Yermom's big ass zinc buttons
Pants fall to the floor
\_ Bitter padawan
Doesn't get enough of his
daily dose of zinc
\_ So what is a suck?
I believe that is a verb
Haikus are gay though
\_ Codeine
\_ royal jelly (what the queen bee eats) in honey. 1 table spoon
in the morning, 1 table spoon in the evening. helped me
recover from a month-long allergy and cold attack here in
bitter cold chicago. Prayers help too.
\_ Local honey for local allergies. I'm not sure how much this
would actually do for a cold other than taste good.
\_ Scotch & cigarettes are good too... -John
\_ Agreed --scotsman
\_ The claim is that it improves your autoimmune system.
It worked for me. I tried many medicine my doctor
prescribed, and none worked, only making me unable
to sleep.
\_ Royal jelly could help you become desensitized to the
allergins in pollen. I doubt it does anything for your
cold, though. Prayer probably helps if you believe in it,
but probably not if you don't, interestingly enough.
\_ When I catch a cold, I usually take one Vitamin C pill a day and it
seems to help. It's the kind I get from Costco that gives 1666% of
FDA daily amount. |
