Got any tricks for getting rid of colds/flu/cough etc.

Grindstone said:
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 was just about to post this.

Sambucol is the most common elderberry "medicine" available.

Buy Sambucol Black Elderberry Immune System Support; Original Formula Online at drugstore.com

You can usually get it at most national chains.

Another vote for Vietnamese Pho soup as well. Stuff is awesome and you feel great after you eat it.

Take some Sambucol and have a bowl of beef Pho and you will be better soon.
 


the only thing i have a good trick for is sore throats and strep throat.
Take a shot of bacardi 151 swig it around for a few seconds (it sucks) then swollow. Sore throat gone within an hour. I swear that shit is like gasoline, no germ survives.

I used to just throw down a couple shots of tequila when I felt a cold coming on. Seemed to do the trick as well.

That Apple Cider Vinegar thing seems like it might have some merit. Not sure about eating whole onions or garlic cloves. I may just go get something with pseudoephedrine and see if that helps. I just need something to dry that shit up in my head so I can breathe and get rid of the head ache.
 
Have a hot toddy, guaranteed to work on even the most stubborn man flu

all made in a big mug

add
1000mg of soluble paracetamol
2-3 tablespoons of good honey (none of your shit in a squeezy bottle stuff i'm talking solid at room temp stuff)
juice of 1 lemon
fresh grated ginger about a teaspoon
large slug of good whiskey
take 600mg of brufen (ibuprofen)
and drink hot toddy
take 1 every four hours or so. fucking magic but do not take to much you'll fuck your liver up.

brufen and paracetamol are more effective when taken together, this combo will deal with muscular aches and pains and headaches, lemon for vit c in a more readily usable form, honey for mild antibiotic and throat soothing properties, ginger for the same as honey, hot water to dissolve it all and has a soothing and comforting effect. whiskey cos you can and it acts as a muscle relaxant.

i dont get sick often but this shit cures fucking anything
 
1. Natural: Zinc. Vitamin C.

2. OTC: Zicam (works great if still in the early stages of the cold). This stuff has seriously gotten rid of some of my colds in the past.

3. Food: A couple people above recommended eating a whole onion. Definitely clears the sinuses if you can stomach it during a cold. Some people can, some people can't. Garlic is also nice. Dice it up and boil it in some chicken noodle soup.

4. Whiskey does wonders. Not the cheap shit though haha. I'm not saying get drunk or anything, but a shot or two can definitely ease up some of the unpleasantness of having a cold.

5. And of course, the best trick for getting rid of a cold is just good, old fashioned sleep. Get yourself some Melatonin, shut off your phone/computer/tv/whatever, and just rest.

Fuck that, get drunk! It's a great excuse.
 
One other thing that my father-in-law swears by is drinking a Stinger every couple hours.

Equal parts Creme de Menthe and Brandy.

That shit (combined with some pseudoephedrine) has cleared me up pretty good on a couple of occasions when I felt like my head was going to explode. I'll almost always put one down with my before bed cold medication to help me get to sleep.
 
take a shotglass of absinth, pop 3 roasted coffee seeds in it, chew the seeds then swallow. It'll burn your fucking throat but sickness will be gone very soon.

Or take two shots of vodka like that.
 
Sore throat remedy
1. Teapot set to boil
2. Pour teapot into a mug with the following:
a. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
b. 1 tablespoon honey
c. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3. Stir and Drink up, Occasionally adding more water to dilute pepper
4. ???
5. Feel better

sink yourself in a bathtub or burrow yourself on a nice beach with hot chick lurking around...

drinking boilding hot cups of water throughout the day, kills anything you have real fast
