how do I fix it? I've tried all kinds of

[hr]
- Tylenol, Claritin, Zicam and Zytrec being just a few. Nothing helps. Does anyone have a good remedy? Something Herbal or whatever? I know to keep from milk because it makes things more stringy, but anything else?

liquids, vitamin c, orange juice, ecanatia w/golden seal root, emergencee, airbornes, chicken soup, and alkaseltzer cold plus nighttime when you go to sleep.. That should clear it up in a few days... if not.. go to the doctor and check for SWINE FLU.. and im serious..

Is it Feed A Cold, Starve A Fever, or the other way around? If you find a cure for the common cold, let me know. You'll win the Nobel Prize for it. Colds are just something that have to run their course. Two to three weeks is the norm from the onset of the symptoms. OTC medicines to help with the pain and congestion.

Literally!
I think it's allergies though... I've always got the sniffles. I can't remember the last time I had a clear nose consistently, except when I was living in SoCal on the beach. If that's a cure, it's a pretty elaborate/expensive one.
Aside from euthanizing all my furry pets, I need something that can keep me from reacting adversely to their dander. I heard you could take

[hr]
with the chemicals that fool your system into thinking the dander is in your bloodstream so your nose doesn't see it as a threat. Not sure how it all works, but the concept seems sound.

You know...sometimes something as simple as a saline spray helps too....over the counter no meds.....and you can even make it yourself

you know there was a study by a german scientist showing that folks who get more han 2 colds a year have a 75% reduced risk of getting cancer. It also showed that people who remedy and protect them selves from less that 2 colds a year had a 80% increased rik of getting cancer. It makes sensce because a cold revs up your system which is responsible for destroying cancer and other pathogens. just a little thought for you, but it isn't confirmed exactly true yet. Just think, it does make logical sense, right?

not necessarily, you just know that your normal like everyone else. If your sick all the time it just means your system may be weaker than normal, probaly cause your body is lacking vitamins it needs. I don't know, it was just some study i pulled up on google a few weeks ago.

Doctors don't recommend sweating any illness out. Just make yourself comfortable...I generally take Alkaseltzer Cough and Cold Gel Caps for day and nighttime throughout my cold, drink plenty of fluids and take some vitamin C. This usually helps me. Hope you get to feeling better!
Oh! And keep a box of Kleenex with lotion by.

I think what she means is that the kleenex has lotion laced in it... not a bottle of lotion and kleenex. nw2salt, if you still don't get it, I can elaborate, but suffice it to say he's suggesting a less than honorable use of said items.
