A lot of rest, no stress, and a lot of chicken soup. There is no such a thing as fast, you have to be patient!

PLEASE try these 3 remedies...EVERY time I feel run-down or
get that tickly feeling in my throat I take these 3 things and
it NEVER turns into a full-blown cold.
1) Olive Leaf Extract by "Herb Pharm"....it's in liquid form,
and has no side effects...it immediately goes to work to kill
any viruses in you...and it's all natural.
2) "JarrowDophilus", by "Jarrow Formulas"...it will keep the
healthy "flora" in your body in perfect balance which keeps
your immune system strong.
3) "Emergen-C" Vitamin C packets by "Alacer"
All three can be purchased at "Whole Foods Market", possibly
"Trader Joe's", or call your local health food store to
inquire about these 3 products.
EVERY friend and family member who has taken this advice,
hardly ever gets sick.
For your throat: "Peaceful Mountain--Throat Rescue"
You will NEVER find a more powerful throat spray which is
all-natural....soothing, fast acting, and kills bad bacteria
on contact.
Cayenne Pepper in capsules (or sprinkled on soup) helps
greatly with congestion AND is also an immune systen booster
too....and drink lots of organic green tea to help your energy
levels.
You'll see!! :) Get well soon!

There is no real way to get rid of cold real fast. Double up on Vit.C ( at least 2,000mg. daily), lots of fluids and rest. A vaporizer may help. Echinacea daily for about 2 weeks, lay off for 1 week, and repeat. That helps with your immune system. Chicken noodle soup is a great help to me when I get a cold and get stuffed up.

You have to sleep, and drink a lot of water to keep hydrated. You have to try and eat too, even if you don't feel like it. Your body needs the energy in food to keep going. Always keep clean too, wash your hands, etc.
Hope you get better. I'm getting over a cold right now too.

Time and time alone. You can do lots to be more comfortable. Drink plenty of fluids, rest, etc., but none of the products they sell will really shorten the duration of a cold. Not a single one.
