What is your favorite cold remedy?
Comments (22)Dr. started me on antibiotics and instructed me to take 1/2 a vicodin every 4 hours as it acts as a cough suppressant and will alleviate the pain. He said it's essentially the same thing as the prescription cold medicine, and since my cough is not productive (the mucinex didn't help) I needed to suppress it rather than try to make it move. Combined with the prednisone and albuterol I'm feeling a lot better. Should be able to quit the prednisone by Friday. Found out that the reason I felt so especially bad yesterday is that I accidently took one of DH's medications! Couldn't harm me, but did make me feel really sick. I am hoping that I can sleep thru the night tonight instead of waking every few minutes coughing! Yeeps. And keep up those great suggestions...kinda liking that four poster bed idea......See MoreCold Sore Remedies and Prevention
Comments (0)Cold sores are caused by a deficiency. They can be prevented by correcting the deficiency. Success has been found with the use of Vitamin B6. The amount can be determined by experimenting. When the right amount is found, the cold sores will stay away. You can then reduce the amount and if the sores return, you increase it. The maximun dose available in tablets is 250 mg. L-lysine. Available as tablets of 1000 mg for prevention and as cream for healing. This is an amino acid and is banned in Canada as are all amino acids. Yogurt or acidophilus capsules. Take internally. Zinc. To heal the sores, these cures are recommended in addition to the above remedies: Tree Tea Oil. Raw garlic. Dab it on. ***Ear wax. Soften it with oil if it is hard and use it on the blister to dry it up. Cold sore lotion. One bottle will last for the rest of your life. Instant coffee. Make a paste....See MoreYour favorite cold hardy orange and yellow roses
Comments (5)Easy Does It is hands down the most floriferous rose I have ever grown. It's not a vivid orange more of a saturated apricot with large frilly edged blooms. It gets some die back, I'd call it snow line hardy, but is so healthy and vigorous that it quickly makes up any loss. I'd recommend grafted. Trumpter is the most vivid red/orange I can imagine and is very hardy. It's a compact bush with fairly large blooms, a generous bloomer, tends to blackspot so does best in full sun with good air circulation or would benefit from anti-fungal spray. Oranges & Lemons is also very hardy. In my garden it wasn't the best bloomer and took up a lot for space, grew long canes acted like a short climber....See MoreWhat is your "go to" Cold remedy?
Comments (66)yeonassky, so you know how to do Google searches and the dietitian whose article you linked to knows how to do PubMed searches. But both of you don't necessarily know what to do with what your searches turned up. When your medical doctor starts recommending you take garlic and sage for your cold, then the random research projects that turn up in PubMed and various internet sites will have been put into context and agreed to. (FYI, PubMed is nothing more than a catalog of articles. The dietitian describes it as a trusted source. Think of the card catalog at the library. It contains entries for what can be found in the library. Does that make it a "trusted source"? Are all the books listed good books or worth reading? No, of course not. Being in the catalog means they're available to be found, nothing more. PubMed does the same. Being listed in PubMed is not an endorsement or statement of relevance of the article listed. It's a statement of existence. Lots of worthless and pointless research is done. But an article published exists and so is listed in PubMed. Until further work is done and findings are repeated, research results just hang out and mean nothing. Most aren't followed up on. )...See MoreIslay_Corbel
