    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Home remedies

    So I've had a cold for about 2 days now. It's at that like hovering stage, where it can't decide if it wants to get worse or better.

    It's nothing serious, just dayquil status, but I hate hovering colds because they always seem to take forever before getting better. So figured I'd ask and see what your home remedies are to get rid of colds.

    My mom has always loved the idea of salsa kills anything so I had some yesterday, and probably placebo, but it seems my throat doesn't feel as bad.


    So spam what do you do?

    Hot water with a whole load of lemons and fresh ginger to make like a hot lemon drink. Vitamin C. Get lots of rest.

    Get better!

    I heard coffee grounds work on things too, but no one to verify these claims first hand.

    When you mentioned the coffee grounds a while back I started looking up shit on it. Basically it isn't so much the coffee but the beaded scrub stimulating the nerves in that area (or some shit). I also found most women mix it with their body lotion to scrub it with. I then found this:

    So figured I'd try that first.

    It does seem to have helped a little bit, but only a little so far.

    Raw garlic has loads of nutrients that help your immune system fight off a cold, and also sooths a sore throat. Chew one raw garlic cloves to a pulp then swallow. It will be a bit spicy but one a day till your cold is gone helps knock it out quicker.

    Kick-Ass Immune and Umcka are also great for knocking out colds.

    And the reason salsa helps is cayenne pepper soothes and helps heals sore throats. When I have a bad sore throat or feel one coming on I make tea of organic apple cider vinegar and a good amount of cayenne and sip it constantly. Clears shit up in a day or two.

    Drink two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day - once in the morning and once at night.

    I shit you not it'll clear you right up within a few days.

    He's been pretty cool lately, though I'm sure with that comment... we'll be seeing some insults flying again.
    Not really what I want to see but I did just make popcorn.
