Answers:
Vitamin C mate .... take a Vitamin C supplement in a powdered form containing bioflavonoids (enhances the power of vitamin C 10 fold) 1,000 mg (1 teaspoon) dissolved in water or juice 3 - 4 times daily............ this will effectively kinghit any cold and drastically reduce your symptoms ........ try it mate, it works ..... vitamin C has been shown to reduce inflammation and speed healing ..... it also has effective antihistamine properties.......... if you're taking lots of aspirin you're losing vitamin C........ cut right back on caffeine containing drinks such as coffee and tea and eliminate sodas and soft drinks and pop as they will all dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious water soluble supplies of vitamin C........... drink 8 glasses of water daily and hydrate yourself properly to help your body function at peak levels and eliminate the germs.
Ditch processed sugar as bacteria will literally feed and multiply on it.
Other things that will rob you of your precious supplies of vitamin C are stress, alcohol, aspirin and otc counter cold and flu meds, antiobiotics, sleeping tablets, laxatives and diuretics, the oral contraceptive and eostrogen supplementation (if you are female) and smoking.... Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and as such our bodies can neither store or produce it and we need to ingest it on a daily basis.
eat more foods and their juices rich in vitamin C ie ~leafy and green vegies, citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, strawberries, blackberries and red and green peppers etc...
Vitamin C reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and restores the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract.......... In addition, vitamin C creates an environment in the digestive tract that helps control the overgrowth of yeast, bacteria and parasites.
Vitamin C deficiency can contribut to digestive problems, as well as bleeding gums, increased susceptibility to infection, joint pain, unexplained bruising and lack of energy..... hmm, vitamin C the magical potion i reckon...........;0)
peace baby

Here is what I do...
Vitamin C every 4 hours
Zicam every 6 hours
Neti pot 2-3 times a day
Garlic 2-4 times a day (I dice a clove cover it in honey and swallow)
There is a great explanation on the Vit C above, zinc shortens the duration and severity of a cold, Neti pot will de-stuff you (but it takes a while to get used to), the garlic has a natural antibiotic in it the fresher the better but you can take the caplets....And vaporize at night!Health Question & Answer

Mucinex DM with Sudafed. The Mucinex will be your cough suppressant and expectorant to help break up the chest congestion. The sudafed is your nasal decongestant. Then just wait it out, but these will help relieve your symptoms.
EDIT: The Mucinex DM and Sudafed are sold separately, they dont make a product with all of them together. Or you can get the Mucinex D and take robitussin with it.Health Question & Answer
