So on Monday night I had that feeling a cold was coming (mate a work was sniffling, think that's where it's come from), so I started my cold prevention routine. This is on top of the multivit and 1000mg of Vit C I take everyday anyway:

I up my Vitamin C intake from 1000mg to 4-5000mg spread evenly through the day.

Drink gallons of water.

If I've got any in, I triple my intake of "Udos Oil", which is a blend of essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6 etc) to 6 desert spoons a day. But I've not got any at the minute.

Where a beany hat in bed - seriously.

So far it's kept it from developing further.

It's getting to that time of year again, so what other techniques do people have for fighting off colds?

sleep it off! i should be at work just now, got a bad cough and a sore head!

curry is good.helps shift any phlem.sniffing up steam works great.the cold centre that looks at curing the common cold tested every remedy on the market.none worked.they used people to check this.only thing that worked was sniffing up steam.you can get crystals from the chemist.add boiling water and sniff the steam and menthal vapors.and a hot toddy is nice for the throat and makes you sleep.

Im off school today with the tail end of a cold!! Try to shoo it away before camping at pod on saturday nite!!

Eat more, Carbs help as it gives energy, your body will use this up tryin to fight the cold. So pile in that Roast/Grilled Chicken from somewhere.

Energy Drinks such as KICK and Redbull help to. After a meal it will speed up your metabolism helping that food get to where its required quicker.

Dress Warm (as in warmer then usual)

Drink Plenty Fluids (Water, Orange Juice) and my favourite...

Keep your socks on when you go to bed.

do not dress warmer.you need to keep the body temp as normal as possible.during a cold,it will go up and down.if you dress warmer,then your body temp will go higher still.this makes the immune system work harder.

I do nothing except have good basalm tissues, you can't really beat a cold - billions of £££s has tried and failed to do so.

The dress warm advice was for prevention, as in when you feel the cold coming. The Heat will kill a virus before it has time to do you any harm.

One thing I found that did work while I had a mad runny nose and coughs once. Was runnin home after dropping a friend off (Motor was broken) and the run actually fixed me. by the time I got home I was fine. All the bogies and other green things disappeared
