A Cure for the Common Cold

I usually suffer a bad cold twice a year when the Spring and Fall Seasons come around. It lasts at least a week but often I need to take medication to get rid of the cough as that can drag on for another 2 or 3 weeks for me.

I first heard about Zinc being a cure for the Common Cold back in February and quickly went to the pharmacy to pick up some Zinc Gluconate to add it to my daily vitamin intake list.

Cold season has come and gone now, after having almost every co-worker in my office come down with a cold and two of my family members.... I escaped it, and I have not have one sympton or my irritating cough this Spring. (Touch wood)

I'm sold..... Zinc will forever be in my daily ritual

I know vitamin C is good.... I have tried it in heavier doses around "my" cold seasons as when I get a cold it is always a doozy.

This is the first time I didn't get it, taking Zinc Gluconate. I will take both in future....... just so glad that I didn't suffer this Spring.

I think everyone around me is glad as well as the cough I get is so irritating to not only myself but others moreso.

these things taste amaazzzing but they don't do shit for me.

I get sick all the time. Thank you pre-school lol

I snort sea water up my snot-locker in addition to taking the zinc.

I hear that's the secret to Ash's uncle's longevity.

I wonder if he will ever get over Skunk calling him a sock. I would like to see him come back.

I've heard of zinc getting rid of colds too. They make these cotton swabs with zinc on them that you stick up your nose and rub around the inside.
