I felt a cold coming and now I'm pwned =(
I tried counteracting it with a plethora of vitamins and water but they did nothing.

Severe sore throat FTL!

Whenever i feel a cold coming on, i start taking tylenol flu/cold medications... after a few doses it usually goes away and never develops into a full-blown cold/flu

if you are eating unhealthy start eating healthy - ie get your vitamins and minerals and your servings of veggies and fresh fruit.

Also, taking some medication does seem to help.

Vitamin C is supposed to be good for the immune system. Get a couple of cartons of freshly squeezed orange juice in.

haha that's the funniest thing. I've heard of chicken soup as a remedy but never chick choking abstinence.:laugh:

I prefer brown sugar in my green tea but to each his own. Seriously that was good advice I'd like to add to that a high protien diet which helps boost your immune system. No really it does.

i don't think there is. placebo effect FTW?

hook yourself up with some hand sanitizer though, so you can at least prevent spreading your cold as much as possible.

i have a stomach flu or something right now... my appetite is pretty much gone. i haven't taken anything for it because i don't think anything will make me feel better. i tried taking pepto bismol but it worked to no avail.

i'm just gonna see if i can limit my activity and sleep it off at night.

Might be a little too late, but I've been taking 500MG of Vitamin C and 400MG of Vitamin E for the past month and a half. I felt two colds coming, but I was able to fight them off.
Oh and if you are looking to take Vitamins, stay clear of the ALL-One formulas.
