here's the trick.
You need 2 oranges a day every day so you can keep colds at bay.
You need flax seed oil in your diet, (oil.. not seeds) to help your immunities.
Since you are sick.. you need to keep Zinc lozenges (cold-eze type) and be consistent with that. The zinc sits in your sinuses and it really shortens your cold!
You need Airborne 4 times a day. You can take this at the first sign of a cold with your zinc.
Chicken soup has healing properties as well as OJ.
Rest and fluids. Colds last 1-2 days for us on that regime.
BTW.. 2 oranges a day will ensure that you also never have hemorhoids. Ancient Chineese Secret.
Feel better!
