A Natural Remedy for the Common Cold

"A healthy immune system can enhance your resistance, but remember that sugar weakens your immune system so if someone in your house has a cold, stay away from sugar.

Dairy also increases mucous formation, so avoid dairy as much as possible. Herbs that promote sweating help the body rid the virus through the skin, so hot peppers, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and other warming herbs are helpful. Vitamin C, zinc lozenges, Echinacea and goldenseal are great, but I would certainly keep Kan Jang on hand."

I feel a bit better now the aspirins have kicked in. And I certainly had a sweat feast in bed last night. So did Bradley.

Common Cold Centre: Cardiff UK

"Any form of hot drink will provide relief from the symptoms of sore throat and cough. The hot fluid has a demulcent and soothing action and tasty drinks containing slightly bitter flavours such as lemon and citric acid are particularly beneficial. Spicy foods and hot soups are also beneficial as they promote airway secretions which have a calmative action on an inflamed throat."

I've got a cold, so's Amanda, Bradley and Esme. And we're all in a bad mood too. Bugger. They can put men on the moon, but can't cure the common cold.

Busier than Jack McBusy, winner of last year's Mr Busy Contest

Working for the UK Government. Two Frontier installations, one for the external website and one for the intranet to clean and oil, scrape off all the rust underneath and generally make better than new.

If anybody asks, I'm really busy. Better check the weather for the little spare time I've available.
