Recently I picked up a cold...I don't believe in taking a couple of aspirin and retiring to bed, I believe in all-out assault! I take echinacea on its own, echinacea and garlic together last thing at night (taken with a small glass of water flush it through the system), vitamin c and zinc, taken together (chewable) ,Sambucol and ginger. And for the end game I take grapefruit seed extract. I have found it to be the most effective method of treating a cold. Has anyone got any other cold treatments worthy of note?

We were talking about this at home a couple of days ago, because we've realised that we've had no real colds in our family for 2 years. We get the symptoms that cold is coming on, but it never comes to anything. We've put this down to adopting a holistic lifestyle.
Myarka.
I take one tablet of echinacea, one multivitamin and a cod liver oil daily and since doing this I haven't got a cold. The only time I do get one is if I get forgetful and don't take these tablets for a few days and catch the lergy if there's one going round at the time. I also find being holistically minded has made a big difference. I use crystals and do self reiki too and that lessens the symptoms and gets rid of them more quickly than taking conventional medicine.
I swear by Aerobic Oxygen. In fact I fell so much in love with it that I keep extra for my clients too.
If I take extra doses as I feel the cold coming, then I can stop it in its tracks.
I also use Ferr Phos from Dr Schuessler.

If we have colds coming on we take this..... tis a bit yuk but works......
Clove of garlic crushed, some grated fresh ginger, organic honey and a half a lemon squeezed. Put it in cup (we use jug), pour over boiling water and leave for around an hour or longer if you can. Strain it all and then heat in saucepan and drink. Not very pleasant or sociable with the garlic but next morning you feel great!!!
Luckily we have only done this twice as lots of fresh fruit, veg and fresh air seems to keep the colds at bay!!

Knigiht, see my multiple posts in my thread that is the firsrt one as of now on the General THerapies forum that says "Cured her cold in 17 minutes using this method" for what I believe is a repeatable techinque to cure a cold in that amount of time, give or take. Please post if you try it or have any questions about it.
Thanks,
