On the subject of colds and flu ..... anyone got any good remedies for them? Colds in particular? I've got a sore throat tonight and an awful feeling I have one on the way, just got over one two weeks ago too . Got lots of shifts to do next week and need a good remedy to get me through it. Nothing alcoholic though. Don't want to be drunk in control of a bedpan....

I believe that a cold/flu first masses its forces in the throat.
Sucking a zinc/vitamin C lozenge can help. Vitamin C is used by the body to fight the virus (antibiotics are no use against a virus)and zinc is used to help the body assimilate the vitamin. I also believe that the zinc and vitamin combination helps to knock the cold a death blow before it gets established so reducing the length of time it takes a hold.
