Just clicked on an AOL link to a story about whether or not there is a cure for the common cold. The answer was the first sentence: "There's no cure for the common cold. Antibiotics are of no use against cold viruses. Over-the-counter (OTC) cold preparations won't cure a common cold or make it go away any sooner, and most have side effects."
At least the first sentence is correct, only the body can "cure" a cold given time and/or the proper nutrition. OTC products DO have unfavorable side effects.
Luckily for us God has created many solutions to the cold and flu problem. Here are just a few: probiotics, goldenseal/echinacea, vitamins A & C, zinc, garlic, olive leaf, pau d'arco, a combination including wild blue iris/spring violet/yarrow, silver (Silver Shield from NSP).
Also, you would need to avoid citrus and sugar.
Rest is good, warm/hot liquids are great.
Historically these have worked for those who take them in the proper quantities and purchase them from medicinal-grade companies.
The best line from the article was "Keep in mind that acetaminophen can cause liver damage." They got that one right, too.
