Drink about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Teqilla before bed helps big time (make sure u didn`t take no pills 6 hours before hand or u might drop dead )

The only things you can do is keep your immune system in TIP TOP shape, maybe take some things for the symptoms, but not if it affects your immune system.

Also, keeping your hands clean is a must!

Most people can get over the common cold in 3 days or so, but it's usually a week because they are constantly reinfecting themselves.

The cold virus binds to the ICAM-1 receptor inside your nose, then your own cells let it into themselves! The virus then produces TONS of copies of itself, and once it kills the cell, the cell explodes and a shitload of virus particles are released! So you become a walking infection machine! Imagine this happening to thousands of cells in your nose!

SO:
-EVERYTIME you blow your nose, WASH YOUR HANDS with SOAP! Also wash your sheets/pillowcases EVERY NIGHT! This is to prevent re-infection! Your immune system does a pretty good job of slowing the infection down and blocking further infection, but not if it's constantly being bombarded/reseeded with BRAND NEW virus copies!

-Vitamin C and echinacea do help if you start taking them as soon as you feel symptoms, they will increase the strength of your immune system to help you fight and get over the cold faster.

-Sudaphed can help reduce the amount of times you will need to blow your nose

-Booze treatments are pretty much never good because no matter what kind of tolerance you have to alcohol, even 1 shot (or equivalent) has an impact on your immune system. ALCOHOL IS A POISON THAT YOUR BODY HAS TO PROCESS! By processing booze, the immune system has to divert some of its energy from fighting the infection!

Do these things and you should be over it in 3-4 days!

according to southpark. baby fetuses are more effective.

anyone here try my lemonade?

the reason it works is because the lemon peel has alcohol in it that doesnt make u drunk. and is easier on ur body. that and the lemon juice full of vitamin C. keeps u in tip top shape. i drink that stuff everyday. i havent gotten a cold in like forever.. cause i drink atleast a glass of that stuff a day. and lots of people arround me had the cold. and i have yet to contract it. DONT JINX ME. :P

Irish cold cure.

To make the recipe add the following contents to a coffee cup:

1 tablespoon of honey.

1 shot of lemon juice.

1 shot of whiskey.

Next, fill the remainder of the coffee cup with steaming hot water, stir, and sip until gone.

A. What kind of alcohol is alcohol that doesnt make you drunk?
B. Do you let the lemon peels ferment to get the above alcohol in peels?
C. Alcohol suppresses the immune system (as Gurusan stated)...
