WHen you feel you are getting sick, you now, your throat is scratchy + a little malaise. Immediately dose yourself with Zicam, take Zinc, Vitamin C and Echinacea. Take everything as directed on the bottle for about 2-3 days.
Beats a cold eveytime for me.

Haven't being sick in about ten years. The Zinc, Vitamin C and Echinacea system seems to work well. I do it a little different.
This is from DR. Micheal Murray.
"How to fight the "Bug" with ECHINAMIDE" a liquid form of echinacea.
"Take Echinamide in frequent high doses within the first four hours or so of the first viral symptom, and it is my experience that the cold will not progress beyond the prodromal phase and it will, in fact, be completely gone the next day. This is the regimen that i have found very effective. At first sign of a cold or flu (preferably within the first four hours) begin taking two droppers full of Echinamide, about 40 drops, in a six-ounce glass of water along with Vitamin C 500 or 1000 mg and one zinc lozenge. Repeat this triple combination every 20 minutes for at least three hours. Continue the same combination every hour until bedtime. If you awaken in the night, take double this dose of all three. Take the same combination three times per day the following day and twice per day until the virus is conquered."
I have never taken it quite as much as stated, maybe half as much. I have also showed a few other people this and it worked for them too.
Daily, i take a good multi vitamin, omega 3-6-9, and Greens. I recommend the Greens, presently i am enjoying Green Essentials, bought at WalMart. For $38, not cheap, but lasts me a couple months. Like a coffee kick in the morning and i like the taste of this brand. Others not so much. Works as a hangover cure too.
