As I was born serverly premature I didn't get breast feeding and therefore my immune system is very weak. I get a flu or common cold all the time. I heard that a cure would exist but wasn't promoted by the phamacuetical companies because of their economical loss. Did anyone ever use something and git cured? Also I heard from some Brazilian relative that in the Amazon some people know to mixed herbs and stuff (NOT witchcraft) to get cures for it. Do you know which plant it would be and the main ingredient?

My mother only uses homeopathy and swears that if she takes ACONITE as soon as the symptoms hit she can prevent the cold coming. Personally it's never worked for me, but ARNICA for the aching and lots of fluids tend to make it pass fast. Good diet and vitamin suppliments will build up your immune system. I had pneumonia twice before I was 2 and it left me with severe asthma for years - healthy eating, abandoning anti-biotics (which don't strengthen your immune system but weaken it) and regular exercise means I've gone 10 years without even an asthmatic twinge.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and the remedies to help the immune system is Garlic (odourless) capsules and echinacea taken together. Garlic you should take all year round, echinacea capsules in winter months

sorry there's no cure for the common cold since you can't treat a virus with antibiotics. just try to AVOID getting sick in the first place. wash your hands frequently and eat healthy.

taking vitamin pills everyday helps prevent colds and flu, also having a healthy diet and exercise regularly helps as well.

Aside from never being around ppl and becoming a hermit...no, I do not, though I'd really like to find out and do research on it someday. [I'm a scientist wannabe.]

If you leave a cold untreated it will take a week to clear up; if you treat it, it will take 7 days!
