| Question: | What' s the quickest way to kill a cold? |
| Answer: | UP vour vitamin C intake to 3g every four hours. This level of vitamin C supplementation saturates the bloodstream in it and simply stops viruses from surviving. This is for short-term use only, however; while it isn' t dangerous, you may get loose bowels. Once your cold has gone, go back to taking 1 to 2g of vitamin C a day to prevent colds. Another cold killer is black elderberry extract, available in healthfoodstores. Black elderberry effectively stops viruses from getting inside your cells and multiplying. I' d also drink two or three cups of tea made from the Amazonian herb cat' s claw. The bitter taste can be improved by adding in some blackcurrant and apple concentrate. Also effective is 10 drops of echinacea two or three times a day.
Putting all these together is the quickest way to kill a cold. Beyond this, eat lots of fruit, avoid dairy products and take it easy. |
