Pretty sure I have a cold coming on.

I've got the chills, my stomach is a little turned and I have a headache.

Need to get a bottle of cheap whiskey and scare this **** outta me.

Mucus DM from the Dollar Store got rid of my cold. Less than 3 bucks. Well worth it in my opinion.

Garlic... Eat anything with a lot of garlic and it should help you out a lot.


Saw another poster mention this in the T2 thread.

Worked great

Emergen-C powder. Take it every hour for awhile. Doesn't taste too bad,either.

I'm not so sure that works when you have a cold. It's better to take it before you get a cold.

But there's a connection there that the medicos are trying to figure out. A human's tolerance for Vitamin C is at 5 grams, I believe. However, during a cold or the flu, humans can go way past those 5 grams, or whatever the limit is.

I'm going through the same thing. Worst part is the sore throat, so I'm just happy that part is gone.

Yeah, I keep a bottle of vitamin C chewable tablets around for when I feel one coming on. I'll knock a little past 6 grams and I've had great results with it, if I can hop into bed for 10-12 hours. Next day, feeling great other than peeing orange peels.

What is the gram limit before one starts to get diarrhea?

Last time I was sick, I already had that issue. Couldn't pass gas without being on the throne first.

I really wouldn't have any idea since a person's biochemistry goes freaking haywire when it's fighting infection. Same way when you're drinking or hung over. Your cranium and CNS in general doesn't particularly respond well to being poisoned. Or Poisoned:
