moodyskydiver 0 #3 September 8, 2006 Go to your nearest vitamin shop or supermarket and get a big bottle of vitamin C and another of Echinacea.Next best thing is to drink lots of orange juice b/c it already has tons of vitamin C. My mom has been pounding that into my head all my life b/c shes an RN and didnt like to hear anyone whinning about being sick. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

kenz 0 #8 September 8, 2006 seriously - i am telling you - go take airborne - that stuff is amazing - i am not a fan of taking meds or vitamins usually but this is amazing its an effervescent - the box looks cartoony - most drug stores have it and trader joes has it for sure take it 2-3 times a day and you'll feel better in a day or so"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #10 September 8, 2006 My vote goes to Airborne too! CVS and Walgreens and Publix have it. I like Lemon flavor better... marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplyputsi 0 #11 September 8, 2006 vitamin C, liquid form from juice. It works better than a pill. Also I thought ginseng was good for boosting system before a cold.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaM 0 #13 September 8, 2006 I like the kids flavor but then you have to drink more. I think it did ok once but after that did not work. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaMan 0 #14 September 8, 2006 If you just need a boost to get your energy back up for the day (but you better rest after if you are getting sick), you can also take B12...works well for stress too.Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
