Title: Colds and flu
Post by: GROWLER on March 18, 2009, 09:42:17 AM
For the first time since my records began, I've gone a whole winter without catching a cold.  cloud9:

I think those ecanasya echonasia magic tablets are the answer, but they do give me a bit of gut ache for a couple of days.

Highly recommended anyway. cloud9:

You are taking a break from them every six weeks or so aren't you?

It can actually become harmful to your immune system rather than boosting it. You'd also have to take larger doses for the same effect. Taken in large doses over a long period of time it can cause infertility. Strictly you are supposed to take it for two weeks then have two weeks off etc.

Not all bad then?

Certainly cheaper and less intrusive than a vasectomy!

First sign of a sniff or dodgy throat, I gulp one down after each meal, but just for a couple of days. Symptoms then just disappear, as if by magic like! eeek:
I lay off them after that, as per Wenchianos recommendation. cloud9:

Been stuffing meself with loads of garlic and vit C all winter though.
