I will write what I think is good here - I no doubt will miss some important ones and there are amazing remedies you can't get in NA but when I feel a cold come on:
1. I drink 3-4 times as much water as usual.
2. take olive leaf extract - works better than antibiotics for chest infections (for me).
3. Oregano oil - many swear by it, helps a bit if you take 5 times the recommended dosage.
4. Elderberry syrup.
5. Goldenseal and astragalus combo in a tincture.
6. Ginger/turmeric/garlic
7. ACV - tablespoon three times a day.
8. vitamin c until I get diarhea. Isn't it amazing that a healthy person can take 10,000 and get diarhea but when we are really sick - the body will use up to 100,000 without causing diarhea. That being said - it never did much for me until I took injectible vitamin c - 5000 mg a day and it hurts like a bastard but it does help.
I can usually shut it down with 3 or 4 of the aforementioned.
If anyone has a secret recipe please share as gyms are full of viruses and germs.
thanks,
