My boss is a buddhist and says tea with ginger root in it is the key. He claims his two sons have never had any cold medicine., All he gives them is tea with ginger root and honey and that works. I am presently under the infkuence of a cold myself. I will be trying the tea remedy myself.

the best remedy is not to get the cold / flu in the first place.
get taking echinaechia regularly.
this builds up your immune system and it keeps colds/flu at bay!

Exactly, just steep the root in boiling water. Make sure you actually buy a ginger root. The first time I just added ginger powder to my tea and my boss laughed at me. Damn those enlightened buddhists;-)

echinaechia is a
preemptive strike
in the "cold war"

I was once in the habit of taking echinachea and it's true I never did catch a cold. It is a good preventative measure... too late now though.

I've got two friends that take echinaechia on a regular basis and they are just as sick as I am. Must depend on the idividuals biology. I say just keep trying things until you find what works.
If the tea and ginger thing doesn't work for me, I'll try echinaechia next.

miracola - good luck with your cold. if it gets too bad bring your couch and blankets over to my place. we'll rent movies, chew on ginger root, drink whiskey, make snot rag sculptures,...

i know a girl that did a study on echinechia for her degree or something.
certain brands of echinechia can make you feel depressed and down - sometimes even suicidal. the brand she recommended as being the best is Bioforce.

i knew a girl that swore by 'mrs grass chicken soup'.
on the box it said 'the secret is in the golden egg'
i am no longer friends with that girl.

Thanks for the tips gang.
Good noon/night.

heat some red wine in a pot until a mild boil...it should start burning off some of the liquor...then drink it hot like tea!
clears your congestion right out and also makes you a little woozy so you sleep well.

Dude, you guys are killin' me. I'm in tears here at work. When I need some laughter and cheering up, I'll just hit NT.
Grunt, tell me about it. What I wouldn't give to be curled up on my couch right now. I feel like shit and I am at work. Maybe I'll build a snot rag scuplture and leave it on the boss's desk for making me come into work.
