Help! My body has been invaded! Need suggestions!

For a sore throat, I use Echinacea. It also helps with coughs. For stomach problems, drink a shot of Bitters(it's a type of Medicinal Alcohol). Keep well hydrated of course. I'd also use some Sinutab for the runny nose. As for the swimming head, try getting some fresh air as well as lots and lots of bed rest. I find fruit cocktails helps with that as well. BTW Vitamin C only really works if you keep into a range of 1000-2000 mg. That's two to four tablets a day. Normally all you'd need is one every other day(if you drink lots of OJ that is).

I'm already feeling a ton better. I've gone the route of hot teas, chicken soup, rest, water and vitamin C. I've been taking 5-7 grams of Vitamin C per day, which is 10-14 capsules. My head's better, my throat is better, my nose is clearing up as is my cough. The sneezing and itchy eyes are gone and I can taste again.

Jensouth-
UUrgh,mixing milk with orange juice!

Maybe it is good for a cold,but I bet its not too good for a hangover.
Doesn`t the milk separate,due to the citric acid?

I don`t think I would be able to drink that stuff without saying hello to
it again shortly afterwards.

Well to answer your question...if you let it sit for hours..it will separate. When I make it at home it doesn't last past the first ten minutes...so it's not a problem.

If you are say- a single person, and you want some, make it like this

1/4 can of frozen oj
1 cup of milk
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)
4 ice cubes blend in a blender

Have you heard of the Zicam swabs?

A gel that contains zinc is on a swab that you apply through the nose.
Supposedly it speeds up recovery time. 3 times faster they say.

It's not a pill, but it's not the most natural remedy either.

Love me some Zicam... its great stuff and works!!!

I've been able to use it.. along with some Nyquil at bedtime to shorten colds to as little as 2 days...
