I have been dosing up on vitamin C, echinacea and zinc but it's still bugging me. What do you do when you feel a cold coming on to try and prevent it from taking you out?

warm bath and go to bed

I love echinacea, Cold Snap, and drinking 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar in 1/2 cup of water. I'm not sure why that last one works--kills germs? Vitamin C has never worked for me.

i always drink something called emergen-c.

lots of people drink it a few times daily.
has so far stopped anything from coming on for me for the last couple years.

hope you get feeling better.

I wish I could have a warm bath and go to bed. That sounds SOOOOO nice. But we leave for a 2 week vacation in 2 1/2 days and I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off right now when I am not at work.

ACV eh? I will have to try that one.

I wonder if they have this emergen-c in canada? What's in it?

CantePe

This is what I do 2x a day (24 hrs):

3X Cold Effects Pills
2000 ui (4X 500 ui) Vit C\D combo
500 ui (1 pill) of Omega 2, 6, 9 (combo)
2 X Tylenol Daytime Cold, Sinus and Flu Pills

I beat my colds in less than 3 days doing this.

CantePe

Try adding Vit D or a combo pill of C/D. You need Vit D to process Vit C.

I've been tanning and have cut down on the vit D lately. Maybe I'll add it back in for a few days.

I get my emergen-c at Trader Joe's, but it looks like you don't have those in Canada. Do you have a Popeyes near you? They carry emergen-c. I think you're getting sick because you're stressed out. Hope you feel better soon

Enchantment

I actually do that really gross nasal irrigation thing with a neti pot every single day. Since I started doing that I have not had a cold. I know that probably doesn't help you now, though.

Aren't you going someplace tropical for your vacation - Hawaii? Have fun and maybe you can sleep in a few days.

it has 1000 mg vit c
b12 and quite a bit of other stuff too.
plus it comes in orange flavor, just mix it with a little water.
mmmm yummy.

Runs like Dog

Fistfuls of Vitamin C, aspirin, chicken soup, lots of water, alternating steam room and sauna.

Ecchinacea or however its spelled. Right now I've kind of come down with something, I bought Ecchinacea/gold seal complex, green tea, I'm also taking metabolism pills, so I've got a ton of antioxidants it my system blueberry, acai berry, raspberry ketones, theres green tea and cayenne in them too.

I also drink "sick tea" which is black tea with 2 tsp of honey, and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar.

I pretty much overload on antioxidants, take twice the recomended dosage of ecchinacea, and eat warm soothing foods and drink tons of tea and water or juice. It's pretty tastey to mix cranberry juice and green tea too

I started feeling sick yesterday, got more sick last night, and by tomorrow morning I should be completely over it.

I love Trader Joe's!!


Hope, I hope you get to feeling better!!!
