Thread: Damn common cold !

I haven't been able to master the nedi pot, but my old stand by was to go out in the back yard and dig up a hunk of Horse radish.
Spin it in the Vitamix with a touch of sugar, water, vinegar.
Pray a little, grab a paper towel and eat one heaping tea spoon.

Very quickly all passages open and any mucous is released with prejudice.

Don't forget to pop your eyes back into their sockets before you try to get up off the floor.

Yes I have done this. It works, and yes it is briefly painful.
The radish must be fresh 90% of the store bought stuff is just too weak.

Feel better soon.

Might I recommend the Chinese feelgood cure.Hot tea,Wonton Eggdrop soup and Eggroll with some Chinese hot mustard mmmmmmm !

Hope you get better soon Jimmy.
Dude should have been at least wearing a dust mask if he was around people.

Not to argue with Ron but Vit C works better if it has "other stuff" in it ie Bioflavinoids but I don't know what Emergen-C is

Hope you feel better soon. Colds just make you miserable. Anyway I do a few things:drink lots of water, have chicken soup and lately been taking the coldeez sugar free which seem to shorten the duration.

Look at it this way Jimmy, the older you get the more resistant you get to more strains of the virus so at your advanced age-har har it must have been germzilla that got you.

Like they say plenty of fluids and Vit C and time are the best things to do.

Ugh.. I hate having a cold about as much as anyone possibly could. I tried to link Dayquil's new "Man Cold" commercial

I hope you feel better soon.

So, Ron's point reminded me of my trip to Subway yesterday. I'm waiting in line, and the "sandwich artist" starts hacking up a lung and sniffing while preparing to start assembling my sandwich... "You know... I think I'll pass" I said and left

I certainly don't take it as an argument, and I disagree with my wife as well over Emergen-C, which she used for a few years, but I don't consider it to be any more helpful than plain old vitamin C and a multivitamin. It just costs a LOT more.

I've done the same thing, and the funny thing is that THEY took offense at what I did.

That really sucks and sorry to hear it. Get well soon Jimmy.

Once you feel a cold it is has already run its course and you only feel the aftermath. The thing that will help prevent the next one is getting plenty of vitamin d, or better put, sunlight. I hope you get feeling better Jimmy.
