this are the ingredients by the way of the cold medicines that can be bought from the local drugstore

well first off. all those products you mention will only treat the symptoms___there is NO cure for the common cold. staying away from large groups of people and diligently washing your hands around infectious people are good ways to stop yourself from getting it. lots of sleep and lots of fluids are the only things that help me. be careful if your like me and a lot of others--dont take any cold medication that has any ingredient with the words ephedrine or ephrine; lots of folks get high blood pressure , heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, restlessness, and hypersensitivity from it, and its used in a LOT of cold medications.

I recently heard in the news that grandma's chicken soup works. Of course, because it's in the news, it has to be true, right?(-:
By the way, consider this. How many people have ever heard of the medicines you have listed? If few people have heard of a medicine, the medicine most assuredly does not work. If it could cure the common cold, everyone would know about it.

it's a virus, there IS NO cure! you can treat symptoms, but that's all. If you choose to treat symptoms, different things work better for different people, AND people may have different symptoms or circumstances. You certainly son't want to take something during the day that will knock you out, or during the night that will keep you awake! And most people find comfort in keeping a fever down.

The wife agreed with me that because we eat a half grapefruit before every meal -- as an appetite suppressor -- that we didn't have any colds last year. We plan to keep that up. Grapefruit is usually available year around whereas oranges have their seasons.

Have you never heard the old adage "drown a cold and starve a fever"

I just try to increase my vitamin C intake, by eating more oranges and fruit which contain the vitamin.
