why isn't there a permanent cure for cold?

Question

it's so bugging, such a nuisance. Anybody there to acknowledge this .

Or is there anyone who's found a way out of this menace.

Answer 1

Our lungs have mucus cells that keeps the lungs wet. The breath that we take from this polluted air contains millions of dust particles. Thus the wet lungs are prone to suffer from the dust that gets stuck inside it. These dust particles get stuck to the mucus cells that die due to dehydration.

Thus, even before the normal limit of dust particles is reached ( which is 10 teaspoons ). Our body tends to release these dust particles through cold.

Thus, when we have cold it is a symptom of good health !

Note:

the dust particles are stopped to a certain extent by the nose hairs.

Prevention of common cold : ( there is no permanent cure .. as cold is an involuntary action taken by our body to clean our lungs )

1. People who take a garlic supplement each day are far less likely to fall victim to the cold than those who do not, research suggests.

2. One excellent cold and flu remedy that you can make at home consistsof five herbs: echinacea, golden seal, garlic, chapparal and Chineseastragalus root.

Diaphoretic herbs include boneset (eupatoriumperfoliatum), elder flowers (sambucus nigra), yarrow (achilleamillefolium), lemon balm (melissa officinalis) and peppermint (menthapiperita).

In mild, moderate doses it is diaphoretic, especially whentaken in warm infusion. Steep one oz. of the dried herb to 1 pint ofboiling water. Take a half cup every hour or two during an acute stageof cold or fever. After five doses or so, it should induceperspiration.

In this form, it can be stored in a small wide mouthed jar and will keep indefinitely unrefrigerated.

Answer 2

For other sicknesses, there is only one or two strains, or different varieties. So a shot can be made, you take it once, or with bossters every so many years, then your good forever. But the cold has many strains, and new ones come from the existing ones. So while a vaccine could be made for some strains, new strains would just continue on developing. That is why you should get flu shots yearly, because the flu develops new strains as well, though scientists and doctors can keep up with those. So its harder to find a cure for the cold, because it keeps forming into something else. All vaccines are specific, so if it changes, the vaccine is no longer good for the strain.

Answer 3

unfortuantely you can't really have a permanent cure for colds for they always come and go.

Answer 4

The problem is that there are 100's of virus' that cause colds and they cannot, or at least have not been able to make an injection, pill, or anything else that can combat all the different virus'.

Hope you feel better soon!

Answer 5

There are over 300 viruses that cause colds so a one-stop vaccine is not yet possible. I find that it helps when I eat a really healthy diet (lots of organic fruits and vegetables), get lots of rest and wash my hands frequently. For the past few years, I have had fewer colds (one season none!; last year two) by trying to follow this plan as best as I can.

Answer 6

For the same reason their isn't a permanent cure for a lot of diseases. Treatments to help yes, cures no. Example: Asthma, allergies, arthritis, etc.

Answer 7

Much like humans, the viruses that make up the common cold evolve. They build a resistance to whatever it is that defeated them in the past. Since viruses and bacteria never completely leave the human body, the cliche' "That which does not kill you makes you stronger" comes into play in a big way.

Answer 8

I know I hate getting colds! I never get sick, and the worst I get is a VERY stuffed nose, a bit of a headache, and a sore throat. It's what I have right now and it sucks.

Answer 9

You just have to supply your body with good and nutritious food. Eat vegetables and fruits and lean meat so that your body have a way to block your enemy - cold. Drink a lot of hot drinks (tea, warm water, warm milk, warm apple cider, warm lemon juice). Not too much on cold drinks that has a lot of junks (sugar, food color, acid, carbonate, alcohol, etc...). Can you do that????Hey!

Answer 10

Errrr and when someone finds the cure I am going to be the first in line !
Unfortunately I think keeping our hands away from our faces is the best we can do for the moment . sniff sniff
