Being sick sucks...

If any of you are like me...you never get sick at all, and then 1 day you do, and you REALLY get sick...Light headed, fever, cold, stuffy nose, sore throat...and its strong too...2 Nyquil pills and 7 Riccolo cough drops later and its still going strong...and I cant find the Vix...anyone know some of those wierd home remedies..?

thanks all

avx

but it is true warm whisky and a big spoon ful of honey, got to bed and sleep it off, you will sweet it off quickly,

or you could make up a batch of rooster juce,

it is very popular in suthern arizonia in the cooper mines.

chopped yellow onion, bring to a boil, add chicken buliun and a cube of beef boulun, continue boil.

chop a few green halipnos, continue boil

add some alt and pepper to tase, let thicken a bit.
sip slowly 1/2 cup each day at lunch time.
you will never get a cold again eather

almost forget add some tabsco sauce to tase.
and one can of tomato sauce, or soup.

Time will take care of it. I very seldom ever catch anything but I have never found anything that makes me feel better than to just go to work anyway and get plenty of sleep. Of course if you work around a lot of people that's not a very good option.

Rooster juice? Jalipenos? Tabasco sauce? Of course you won't ever get a cold again. You won't have any sinuses left.

Heres a good one...Brush your teeth every half hour, for 6 hours, it loosens up the flem in your sinus and throat, and it kills bacteria in your throat, which is the best place for germs to live...warm, moist...Pretty good one huh? What would we do without grandmas????

rooster juce is no joke, ai worked in the underground copper mines in the mountains in airzonia , in the winter we had 3 feet of snow on the ground, when we came to the serface soak to the bone with sweat, had to walk a long distance in the cold to the locker room, a great way to catch a cold right, that small dose of juce at lunch time each day in the winter months no one ever had a cold, so I personally know it works.

Eat one small well washed raw mustard green leaf.( One about 3" by 3") Take some liquid Nyquil. Take a hot shower and get 10 hrs of sleep.

Peppermint candy helps clear out a suffy nose.

Something to be said for Dok's solution - eat a garlic clove and nobody will get near you.

Not raw! Elephant Garlic is VERY mild, and adding it to food yield no real difference.
