I'm absolutely SICK
....of this...
Wednesday, March 23, 2005 by Matchbook | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Um.. Does anyone have any home-remedies for havoc-wreaking colds? I ask because I've got a killer one, can barely keep my eyes open for the overwhelming sense of anxiety and fatigue I'm feeling. I'm having full body shivers, lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. I have the World's biggest/worst headache [ok, debatable..] and can barely see.
Anyone have any tips/suggestions/remedies/etc I Could try?... There's no effective cold-/flu medications in this house, so I'm left with my own devices [not always the best option
]. If you can't see the point of this thread, I apoloize. If you read this far and might be able to offer something: THANK YOU!
Genuine thanks,
sbgFX

| Echinacea is certainly fine as a preventative |
Hi, JamMeister, Just thought I would tell you since you wont find it on the bottle of any brand of Echinacea you buy, That it should not be used as a preventative. If it is used when nothing is wrong, it will turn your immune system on you!

Hit your head repeatedly with a mash hammer.....eventually you will forget all about having a cold.
Instead you'll have a headache...and for that there's Panadol, etc....
All these old-wives' tales and home remedies are 'quaint'....but think about it....with the common cold being one of the biggest causes of worker down-time if any one of these ACTUALLY WORKED .... someone, somewhere would be stinking rich....
....and they ain't...

With all due respect to your comment, I can tell you that my remedie is far more than "quaint". It has saved my life, and helped the countless people that have used it. The world finds it hard to break out of the box they have been put in by what the AMA and news media have brain washed them with. In spite of this, their are those out there who make a good living selling herbs and alternative medicines. And as for those who are not, they are just content helping people without getting rich from it. Why is everything judged by how rich it makes us financially? You can be Cash rich and soul poor. What it boils down to is the corner has already been marketed for that by the Medical community. Those of us who are truly concerned for anothers well being don't need to get financially rich. It is enough to help improve their lives.

That's the bit you should have taken note of.
Again, if any of thse 'remedies' cured the common cold the business communities would be beating your door down, clamoring for it/them....but they are not...

Ever hear of the Tucker car? Look what happened there. (great example) Who do you think is bigger and more in charge? The medical, pharmaceutical and FDA community or the everyday company business? In my little piece of the world, we have beaten the common cold, and many other illnesses.

Yes...I've heard of the Tucker...
I see...the existence of the common cold and its prevalence is due to the FDA what, actively obstructing its cure?
Come on, now.....let's not delve too wildly into Conspiracy theorem.
Must say, though....if you've 'beaten the common cold' you should seriously look at patenting it...cos guaranteed you'll be richer than Gates...
