1. I take zinc lozenges as soon as I feel symptoms.
For me at least, zinc reduces the length of the cold. :shrug:

2. I try to use the power of my mind...
I visualize my body attacking the foreign invaders, eradicating the germs and beginning to glow from within with the warmth of healing.
Yeah. And I'm always fucking sick.

4. I complain relentlessly. As a certified hypochondriac, it's the only way
to go. :hi:

Hope you feel better soon, lib'itch. :hug:

6. A few things
complain relentlessly, that goes without saying. ;)

Also drink tea with honey and lemon

This one sounds strange but works. Put Vicks in a pan of water, let it come to boil then put a towel over your head like a tent and breathe in the steam.

Make sure your hair or towel doesn't touch the burner of course. ;)

8. Brandy, lemon juice, sugar and hot water.
Very hot chicken curry, and lots of sleep.

10. I heard that if you medicate a cold, you can get rid of it in 7 days
but if you don't medicate, it will last a week.
