    If you dice up fresh garlic, and put it in a table spoon of honey. And take it as medicine a few times during the day - as you'd like - helps greatly.

    Garlic is a natural antibiotic.

    Also, if you get hot water *like you're going to make tea* and squeeze fresh lemons into it. Also helps AMAZINGLY.

    I drink that every waking hour when I am sick and it's usually gone in a day.

    Also,

    Echincea is god send.

    oh goody i love these kind of ??? first of all do you have a juicer,if not you should get one,i recommend the Norwalk 270,its spendy but its got a 12 yr warranty and it delivers the most powerful juice in the world, and there is a herbal remedy you should take all three of these for at least one week i usually,ok #1 beta glucan 1.3 1.6(derived from yeast cell walls,not the oat kind)#2andrographis or Indian ecanachia,and #3 siberian ginseng(or its now called siberian rootor(elurocoucus seticosis) these 3 will boost your immune system like its never been boosted,the last 2 ingredients you can get anywhere but the beta glucan 1.3 1.6 i get from vitacost.com a co named Flora makes it you can order it online and it comes in of few days,i highly recomend this
