STAVING OFF COLDS:
vit C 500 mg twice a day, some say every 4 hrs...'it really works'...slow release? some suggest 1000 mg every 4 hrs
Take it easy (well, I'd say avoid stressful activities)
zinc
vit d
Avoid exercise (don't agree here)
Avoid sweet things - reduce energy level except for short term burst.
Keep surfaces that you touch clean, then you are less likely to backtrack over your own cold and give it a second chance (not heard of this - could try vinegar wiping)
all vits, minerals, micro-nutrients
echinacea
hot bath
keep warm - body can use all its energy for fighting cold virus
green tea
garlic
eat lightly especially when you've begun to get some symptoms
plenty of fluids...fruit juices have too much sugar so use half juice half water
vit A...10,000 IU three times daily
exercise
wash hands after touching anything that may be germy - and dry.
