I probably only get sick once a year, but it's usually a bad one when it hits me. To this day, I have yet to find a good combination of OTC cold drugs that helps much with the symptoms. The past 3 days I've had the worst fucking sinus headache that I almost can't see straight. That, with achy joints and runny nose from hell it's driving me nuts.

Tried Sudafed PE and PM, Tyelenol severe sinus, Theraflu, all combined with regular tyelenol every couple hours and not a damn thing helps. I've taken hot showers to try and steam my sinus problem away. Slept with a humidifier in the room, etc. Everyone seems to say NyQuil, but that just leaves me feeling shittier when I finally do wake up from the coma. Anyone have a secret method that you use successfully to get un-sick. I'm ready to to try just about anything. And no, I'm not going to the damn Doctor for a stupid ass cold. And smoking weed doesn't do much for me either.

As soon as I notice something like cold/flu creeping up.. I immediately begin drinking lots of fluid, eat full raw onions as if they were apples(1 or 2), and several cloves of garlic. Fresh & healthy next morning.

Parsley is a natural breath freshener if you're concerned about the side-effects. :)
 
Claritin D (not the OTC kind; need a prescription). Pop one of those and for the next 12 hours you'll feel like you were never sick.
 
You can't cure it. You can mask the symptoms with various off the shelf drugs tho.

The best way is prevention. For all of us computer people, we need to supplement with Vitamin D, because we don't see the daylight :) Lots of Vitamin D, none of those 300 IU pills, get the 1000 IU shits and pop like 3-5 a day, more in the winter. Do a test twice a year to make sure you are not ODing, and you are golden.

People from the VERY south might be excepted. Or at least lower the dose. But statistically EVERYONE is low on Vitamin D.
 
I went through the same the other week, total hell. Alka Seltzer and Afrin are the only things off the shelf that helped me, Tyelenol and Theraflu were useless to me. Make sure you drink A LOT of water, at least 1/2 an ounce for every pound that you weigh.
 
Boil a whole onion, drink the broth + neti pot + wheatgrass shots + vit c + yogi breathe deep tea.
 
for colds:

a bowl of pho

For Sinuses... any decongestant with "pseudoephedrine" in it. Gotta ask for that shit at the the checkout counter and provide an ID. Fucking meth heads making my life more difficult.
 
Elderberry extract for virus's, best as preventative but will knock down intensity and duration if taken while infected. Something in the chemical structure of the elderberry limits the ability of flu virus cells to grab onto your cells, and virus's need to be in a constant state of replication or they die off.

Don't know if it will fix your herpes or not so plz don't send PMs.
 
I came up with this combo in the army because I was serving through the winter and I was getting sick at least once per month, so I needed to get well fast. I found it works great for me.
