Home Brews to get you un sick?

[Matt D.]

You guys saw the condition I was in this past weekend, I was even worse on Sunday and Monday. Monday during the day I bought some 1000mg vitamin C pills and took one during the day. I woke up Tuesday feeling 10 times better. Took another one yesterday and feel even better today. By FAR the biggest improvement ever in recovering from an illness.

Jana, get me some Flinstones Vitamins STAT! Or some major vitamin C and some scotch.

I'm gonna try getting rid of all the bad with the effects of a can of black olives.

If I got you all sick, I'm sorry. But remember, you guys are the ones who wanted me to come play cards. :)

1000mg vitamin C pill

How big is that pill!? I got the 800mg thinking I was getting more for my $$ and dang, I'm afraid I'm gonna choke.

Heres what i do for congestion, its gross but Its the absolute cheapest most effective thing I've ever done in a life time of seasonal allergies.

Mix 1/4 tea spoon salt & baking soda into warm water (as warm/hot as you can stand) I use a dixie cup. Then take a plastc syringe/whatever and spray that crap up your nose, don't inhale it, but get it up there.

The "nose candy" works by washing out the snot obviously but also clears out things your allergic to that are just sitting there for you to breath in over and over again. The salt also helps swolen pores too.

I've taken pills a LOT bigger than these. Wash it down right away so it doesn't get stuck and you're golden.

At least I took your moey along with your cold.

Don't over do it with the vitamins, they'll hurt more than they'll help if taken in too large of quantities. Your body can only handle so much at a time. Eat a regular healthy diet and the pills are worthless. Milk and orange juice go a long way. If you aren't eating healthy, take a regular multi-vitamin with minerals tablet everyday and you'll be as good as you can get.

I thought that you quit smoking???
anyway usually the worse the shit taste (home made cold stuff) the better it is at getting you better. lol.
cold ease cough drops also help alot because they contain some type of meds as well as something to stop coughing though they don't taste great. not too bad though.
goodluck and get well!

I havn't quit smoking yet. I haven't smoked since 6am monday morning though, and I hope t o keep it that way this time.

This is really kicking my ass. Bad cough, shortness of breath, changing from being ice cold to buring hot in seconds. It just fucking blows.

I think I've gone through a few gallons of OJ in the last day or 2 as well.
