My youngest son is 8 (almost 9 he will tell you). He brought home a fall cold over the weekend and I have it now: sneezing, sore throat, general cruddy feeling. My Mom taught me to eat lots of vitamin C, drink hot tea with honey and lemon, and get lots of sleep.

What is your favorite cold remedy? Who taught it to you? Why do you like it?

1/2 teaspoon of manuka honey 10+ licked all around the inside of the mouth on retiring bed and sore throats, sniffles and coughs gone on waking up in the morning. Obtainable from New Zealand. Look up on internet. Works wonders

My own remedy for quick recovery or at least sleeping through recovery, haha... take hot showers to help moisten the respiratory track, drink plenty of ice-cold or hot drinks, depending on your weather, get sweaty, whether lying in the sun, or under thick blankets, again depending on the weather, and get lots of sleep, using sleep aids if you have something that works. Zzzzz.. Feel better in the morning!

Black Elderberry works well. It has antiviral, antibacterial properties and his high in Vitamin C so boosts the immune system.

Also Golden seal powder. A natural antibiotic internal and externally. tastes yukky, don't forget garlic and the C should be with zinc. IMHO

Ever since I dumped red meat, white flour, white sugar, and most processed food in my early 20s, I stopped getting colds. I raised my kids that way and they didn't even get the sniffles.

But eating a clove of raw garlic will cure up congestion-although it's best to eat it just before bedtime so one doesn't annoy people with the smell, and by the next day, the odor should be gone.

Also ginger and pepper tea boosts the immune system.

@fidla Hmm..dunno what to tell you then.

I do know that tiny amounts of cannabis oil, and probably CBD oil, found in most health food stores, clears up all infections, kills parasites, stops diabetes symptoms, clears up food allergies, and seems to cure almost anything.

@birdingnut Coca Cola wants to put cannabis oil in their drinks and I say more power to them. Not every drink like in the early days but a special one they are wanting to make now that pot is legal. I bet this eliminates the job of that one special FBI agent in Atlanta. 🙂

@DenoPenno Before they made cocaine illegal, Coca Cola used cocaine leaves in their drink. Back then, we used it to cure anything also..one sip of Coke would get rid of headaches, nausea, double vision, even heat exhaustion.

All drugs should be decriminalized, as is in Portugal; heroine used to be used as a pain killer, coke to cure colds, pot to cure everything.

Once Big Pharm, or should I say Rockefeller, bought the medical school franchises, he pushed the schools to teach only about toxic, synthetic drugs that could be patented to make huge profits, and had useful herbs demonized as "quack cures" and made illegal.
