When you are around people all the time ( in my case, children who think nothing of sneezing on you! ), it's easy to catch something! Shaking hands? Oh yeah, very easy

Fearing the antibiotic resistance, and the help of an Army wife relative who turned me on to elecampane, I haven't had to take a Z-PAC 10 in over 5 years. I come down with 3-4 flair ups a year. Just take that, cough syrup every 4 hours, even through the night, and two Vick's Menthol Steamer treatments (when I start late). Three times a day, 30 drops in an 8 ounce glass of water. It tastes like the center part of a carrot, kind of earthy, but it freakin' works.


Supposedly, it also aids in fighting anthrax exposures, and there is no genetic resistance mutations.


Oh, my four kids take it and extended family. We have not taken the kids to a doctor for chest infection type colds either. The worst case is four days, with average recovery in 2.5 days. The kids go back to school in 2 days.


It comes on when I am severely run down, from work and lack of sleep.

Barack was being interviewed and was asked what advice he was given in his first meeting with dubya. Dubya told him to keep purrel for sanitizing his hands after shaking hands. He was told if you don't do this, you will catch more colds than you would ever expect.
Hillary could have gotten a cold, that led to pneumonia.

who only had upper respiratory symptoms.
