And now, after researching all the evidence, scientists agree with them. Echinacea can help reduce your chances</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.1 (Build: 60809.935)</generator><item><title>re: The best thing for the common cold</title><link>http://community.wddty.com/blogs/adverse_reactions/archive/2007/06/25/The-best-thing-for-the-common-cold.aspx#307</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:18:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c67f3d-bf7b-4201-a2c0-6e02384b9f98:307</guid><dc:creator>mrwmaybury</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It might sound boring, but a wholefood plant based diet with plenty of exercise seems to do the same for me. In the last twelve years I've had 4 colds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good to learn that echinacea is now proven. Using it did not seem to assist my recent one though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;High doses of vitamin C are usually helpful. All I know is that I rarely feel out of sorts with a cold. In only two of those colds did my energy level dropped for a couple of days. I usually pile in multivitamins and all the extras to make sure that the body can use whatever it needs.&lt;/p&gt;

Medical research from around the 50s era discovered that the simple coconut is the best cure, especially its virgin oil. I use creamed coconut block from the supermarket (60-85p) whenever the sniffles appear. It rids the body of viruses in less than 12 hours. One of the fatty acids contained in coconut is lauric acid. Viruses hide themselves from the immune system in an envelope of protein in the body. Lauric acid softens this envelope allowing the immune system to do its job which it does effectively and efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another excellent substance with medical research backing is olive leaf extract and yet another is nature's natural antibiotic virgin Oregano oil. Take those three substances together which are synergistic to each other and even the worst influenza symptoms will have dispersed in around 4-5 hours. See your over-estimated GP and he might give you an injection that might or might not be beneficial but it sure will benefit the pharmaceutical profiteers of whom those GPs are the agents in pushing-pills.&lt;/p&gt;
