Tiger Balmis a hundred times better than Vick's. The Chinese have been using it for century's. Not only is it good for helping get rid of the flu/colds it also is good for any aches and pains ascoiated with the flu. Do not put it in your nose cause it will burn the mucious membranes.This is without a doubt the best stuff ever. Works on arthritis as well for anyone suffering from it. I would agree with BobP here though, we are getting recruits from all over the states right now and this is a bree... [ More ]

It really depends on how bad you have it because in 1918 the flu killed millions of people, now it doesn't because there is modern meds, but if you don't go to the doctor and get them you're living in 1918 and can die if it goes into high fever.If not killing you, call some health food stores and ask for Kold Kare for Cold Flu, Sinusitis by Kare~N~Herbs or order it from http://www.kare-n-herbs.com and no I don't own the company. Also get some zinc, don't take more then 50mg of zinc per day. S... [ More ]

Everything that was said is very good, but me, I take lots of cayenne pepper with my food almost every day, it's good for anything and everything, it's like a 2nd immune system among other things, I have never found anything better than that, regular apple cider vinegar and mega doses of vitamin c are close seconds (not mixed together at the same time), cranberry juice is also good and kelp powder (not mixed together at the same time of course), limon and lime juice and also honey are good, try...

My husband hardly ever gets sick.Why? The first sign of a flu or the cold.............he uses vicks....under his nose, around his neck..........then he is bad on Hall's mentholatus cough drops.........he does this for a couple nights and he is just fine.Now I come from a family that believes in hot toddys .........my dad would brew one up for me when I was a small child to my adult life whenever I got sick.......at night he would make one for me, cover me with blankets and I would sweat like a...

Greetings DVDIVA,I suggest:ALL OF THE ABOVE (other poster's remedies, which are good ones) AND A POSITIVE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ATTITUDE!That oughta do it! Now, I'm not saying that you are a negative person, I'm only saying that when we get sick like that, it can always be tracked to some emotional or mental situation prior to the illness. A person close to me was diagnosed with Virtigo about a week ago and before that she had been experiencing a whole lot of stress to the point where it liter... [ More ]

i agree with the hot (warm) drinks and honey... a cup of hot lemonade or tea with a couple of tablespoons of honey stirred in. even though many people are fighting a virus, the sugar concentration and hydrogen peroxide naturally found in honey contribute to the arrest of a broad range of bacteria so honey is still something to add to your arsenal. get well soon

Practically everyone on the hospital unit that I work on has had the flu, despite having received the flu shot. So far (fingers crossed and knock on wood) I haven't had it. But it could come any day now.Get well soon.litebets

I'm allergic to garlic otherwise i'd use it. Might get some tiger balm soon too.Thanks for all the help.As for alcohol I might have to go to work so I'd have to pass.Hope no one else is getting hammered like I am this year.

If you've developed strep throat too, gargle with salt water.I like Halls menthol-lyptus too.

HEY DVDIVA, TRY SOME ALKA-SELTZER PLUS COLD MEDICINE. WHEN I HAD THE FLU, THAT REALLY HELPED ME, ALSO RUB SOME MENTHOLATUM OINTMENT ON YOUR CHEST, NECK AND FOREHEAD. THOSE THINGS WILL SURE BRING THAT COLD OUT OF YOU. HOPE YOU GET BETTER AND I HOPE THIS ADVICE HELPS. SPEEDY RECOVERY TO YOU.

chicken noodle soup some toast and tea. For the sore throat some tea with honey and a little lemon. If you have a friend or loved one ask them to get you some Tiger Balm it's sold in a lot of Chinese or Japanese stores rub the stuff on your neck and chest cover yourself with a warm blanket and try and sweat it out.

Drink plenty of fluids - especially intoxicating spirits - it may not help the cold but you won't mind it as much

Try putting a good dose of Cayenne pepper powder on your food every time that you eat it should help and the longer that you do it the better that you should feel also very good with soups, but O.K. almost with any food.Get well soon and good luck.And or you can try a ZAPPER, like the Hulda Clark kind, use Google to find the info.
