Answer 1

You can prevent a cold by having a strong immune system. My fiancee and I use a natural vitamin that builds the immune system naturally. We don't catch anything.

Answer 2

"Cold Ease" is a hard candy (really good!) that significantly cuts down your sick time. It cleared up my nose very quickly and made my sore throat go away within two hours.

For sore throats: drop liquid oregano down the back of your throat. It burns(A good kind of burn, where you feel it as it works) and completely wipes out the sore throat. Can be taken as often as you feel you need it. It also destroys a cold in the early stages. My neighbor gave me some drops when I was catching a cold before a big concert. I took several drops all day and the cold completely disappeared. Liquid oregano is expensive, an indication of its powerful effects.

One of my other favorites for a cold is Essiac Tea. If you buy the capsul form it's called "E Tea" or something like that. It is sold most anywhere there are herbs sold. You just open up the capsuls into a mug of hot water and stir to make a delicious and theraputic tea for a cold. I can literally feel the essiac working on my head cold as I drink it.

Taking Garlic capsules regularly will boost your immune system, and can help you feel better faster.

For ear aches my mom always opened up a capsul of Bifidophilus into the side of our mouth where the ear ache was. An elderly herbalist lady told my mom to do this, and while I don't compeltely understand how.....it really did work most of the time.

Answer 3

Going easy on you digestive system with lots of raw easy to assimilate nutrients. Process them in a blender for easy consumption, and stay away from all dairy products. They cause the body to create mucus, which is the body's defense against pathogens. Whole fruit juice with water and honey or agave to sweeten is best, and whole raw soups for the savory times. You don't catch a cold, your body responds to toxic build up by getting rid of it through mucus. Don't eat garbage, and garbage will not pour forth from you.

Answer 4

Time, rest, and lots of fluids. We've got Polio nipped in the bud pretty much (and how often do we worry about the Black Plague?)... but we still haven't made much real progress in that common cold thing.
