I don't care if you've been taking concentrated oregano pills for ten years and haven't gotten sick in that time.
I don't care if you mega dose on Vitamin C (Unless you're talking about the pop star. Rowr.) and you feel great.
Please, when I'm sick, take you're home remedies, which are statistically crap as they've only ever worked for you, turn them, sideways, and stuff them up yer rear.
take 3 concentrated oregano 250mg pills
4 vitamin c tablets
turn them sideways
take as suppository
that being said - ive been fighting off a cold for almost a week now
...i think it's turned into a sinus infection :(
Have you tried Echinacea

You out. Just-out. G'wan-shoo.
Try going to the doctor. They're there to make you feel better.

Awe, someone is all sick AND cranky...
Take an Emergen-C.
[evil]
Try this.
Take a mug fill with water.
Micro-wave till boiling.
Pour out half the water.
Add a couple of tablespoons of honey, then top off with your favorite whiskey.
It will not cure your cold, but for a few hours you WILL feel good. And it is cheaper than most of the over the counter snake oils.

my grandmother used to make that for me when I was a kid. I bet at 8, the whiskey helped to put me to sleep too.
In this order: Gatorade, Pepto, nap, shower, fast food burgers, arrive at work.
Wait, we're talking hangovers, right?
On the opposite end of the argument, taking antibiotics for every little sniffle does none of us any good. Building our natural immunity to the germs is worlds better than building the germs immunity to our drugs.

You mean these Bacon Pills I have been taking for the last year are a complete Scam :-\

Coffee. Advil. Done.
I'm not going to offer any advice.
I want you to suffer...
and be miserable. :-*
as a kid, my grandmother was a fan of the whiskey/lemon/honey thing.
i dont think she mixed it with boiling water....
i use pretty much the same remedy, except i dont mix it with lemon or honey

Toss all the water in a dirty hippie's face.
Then finish off your favorite bottle of whiskey.

You're a bloody crazy person. Oh, and what the hell is white liquor? I guess I do prefer white liquor when I'm sick. Hold the white.

White lightning! Basically sour mash that hasn't had a chance to mellow in charred oak barrels and become whisk(e)y.
Cures whatever ails ya. Including your ability to see. [thumbsup]
<--- Oooh! Look! 1098 posts!
clear liquor for a fever
brown liquor for everything else.
Suck it up. I'm allergic to all cold medications (acetominophine, which means I can't enjoy the narcotic fun of Nyquil) so I just take... nothing. I'm doing my part to prevent superbugs, are you?

Soooo . . . What you're saying is that in three years when I am a Doctor I can tell you what to do and you might actually do it?

You can have my snake oil when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Off course if I'm cold and dead then it probably didn't work out so well for me.
Next time I hear someone offer a home remedy like "I eat three teaspoons of honey and I don't get sick" I think I'll offer the sage "I haven't wiped my ass in 6 weeks and haven't been sick since".
Maybe someone will fall for it.
I was taught alcohol kills germs right? so drink it. and stay hydrated with water, so my remedy has always been vodka + hot tea, or Bourbon and hot tea.
There was a guy who wrote a book on how to cleasne your body and be healthy. he was on CNN and got made fun of on live TV. His home remedies included STRANGE shit like using house hold cleaning products, or just random shit to cure things like arthritis.
people are make the beast with two backsing crazy.
I sleep and drink when im sick.

I knew a chick who tried to "cleanse" her body by drinking only (no eating at all) water with maple syrup, lemon juice and cayanne pepper in it. She did it for two weeks and lost 20lbs

Excellent! I am going to keep this prescription and pray I get sick :) You are now Dr. the_Journeyman in my book [thumbsup]
Any suggestions regarding the proper attire for the nurse/waitress (within limits of this board)?
You'll be too concerned with the liquid fire oozing down your esophagus to care what the nurse is wearing [laugh]

If you haven't yet, you'll learn that pretty much nobody will listen to a word you say. The more they pay you, the less they'll listen.
Don't even get me started on doctors as patients. There may be worse, but I've yet to see it.
You know who actually pay attention and follow recommendations? Lawyers. All my best patients are lawyers.
