If your going to faint dont forget to keep your wallet safe ;)

Drink a bottle of whisky, you'll still have a cold but you won't give a toss! ;D
-
Someone told me never to take aspirin etc cos the whole point is the body raises your temp to speed up recovery and a lot of meds interfere with this. Not sure how true though.
Just drink fluids and take it easy.

Haha the best advice I've heard in ages :D
Seriously though, avoid hot toddies etc etc... I wouldn't drink any alcohol as it impairs your immune system.
Sherco has the right idea. Echinacea is the dog's doo-daa's!!!
Now, with most of us here being "blokey" blokes I'd think 90% of guys reading this will think "pah! herbal medicine what a load of ****"
Well you're wrong!
I have always been the type not to go to the doctor or hospital until I have to be taken in an ambulance... but believe me echinacea works!!
It's quite simply a plant which is crushed and made into a liquid (don't take the tablets or other forms, they are pants). The way it works is simply by boosting your body's immune system.
It does NOT make the illness magically go away, but what it does do is make the difference between feeing like you want to die and being able to get up in the morning and go out to earn your money. It's a really weirdfeeling - you know you've got a cold but you just feel normal apart from having to blow your nose or having a cough & phlegm etc.
I haven't had a day off due to illness in the last 5 years since I've been using it. But you have to remember to get more rest than usual for your body to recover.
Anyone who doesn't enjoy being ill should get some, take one dose several times a week throughout the winter even when you're feeling OK, and when you start to feel like you might be coming down with something, take 3 doses a day until about 5 days after you feel better.
I'll say again, I used to pooh-pooh herbal medicine but echinacea works! Give it a crack ;)
This is the stuff you need:

Try your local Chinese medicine shop....most towns have one. My missus has been really ill from flu and her step mum brought her some chinese herb drink thing and within about 9 hours she was feeling a lot better.

Here's an "Uncle Albert" story as my wife would call it, I once went to the ships doctor on the mighty HMS Beaver and said "I think I've got flu"
"Well F***off and come back when you know you've got flu!" he replies.
Half an hour later I went back and said "Doc, I know I have the flu!"
He said "Who do you think you are, the ships f*****g doctor?"
-
Placed an order for some Echinacea purpurea like in the link on Jims post.
Anything worth a shot to try to keep away the dreaded cold.

The flu virus attacks all the main organs in the body, that's why you must rest or it could kill you because it attacks the heart. I've read at least twice in the papers about blokes who have gone jogging with the flu only for the to keel over.
Now I know most will say that's b******s, but I had a guy who worked for me, who would also say "I'll go for a good 12 mile jog to sweat it out".
My advice was always the same and he used to tell me to f off.
Then one morning I got a call from his wife, he was in hospital after getting chest pains in the night, his son saved his life through quick actions, although his heart had stopped at some point and now had pneummonia, and a permantly damaged heart
Business is important, but your health is more important,

went into my local butty shop today and said to the girl behind the counter...how are ya? she said I'v had the flu. I said, man flu?...she says, no...bird flu! ;D
I thought that was pretty good! ;D

Spot on Jim, it really does work.
Started taking it 8 weeks ago, felt a cold coming on 2 weeks ago but all I had was the runny nose without the other symptoms like tiredness and irritability.
Didn't up the dosage either, kept it to 3 x a day and was gone in 3 days.
Was a sceptic like you but this stuff really does work, I use the liquid form and it is quite expensive but it's worth it.

If you think it works then hey worth every penny, but I would have thought if the big pharma companies could cure the common cold they would be on it like a shot cos they are right greedy bstrds.
Why haven't they? Because luckily when they make a pucker medicine they have to test it properly and then they find that the reults don't support any benefit, BUT you can sell it as a herbal remedy no questioned asked. ::)
-
each to their own but boxing day i felt like s**te, cold, shivering the lot, yesterday had a few too many scotches and went to be early, a lot of sweating and hey ho, today i feel tons better, even managed to do my VAT this morning! i'm not saying that pills don't work but i don't like 'em,

There's no CURE for colds, all echinacea does is boost your body's immune system to help you cope better with the symptoms and recover more quickly.
I dare you to buy some and try it :)

A lot of mainstream drugs are based on erbs/plants aprin for instance. So I'm not agin em.
Can you suggest anything to increase appetite ;D

Hi
The reason I recommended Zinc is it is a massive immune system booster (every cell contains zinc) and it is as cheap as chips (Asda 98p) it is also called the male mineral as it thickens your porridge and makes them stronger swimmers.
There is no cure for the cold as there are over 200 different cold virus's. But the virus hates heat, which is when you go to bed and 'sweat it out' it kills the virus and you get better.
