The typical adult suffers three colds and takes an average of nine sick days a year. Most people expect to get sick during the winter. Exposure to more germs and being stuck inside with everyone in the known universe just make it more likely. Last week, another annoying research study revealed that none of the classic remedies such as Vitamin C and Echinacea actually work. BUT being given a placebo is a fair amount better than no treatment at all- so the very act of thinking you’re taking something that will help your cold, helps. That might explain my friend who swears that if you EAT a teaspoon of Vicks, it will cure you. Try these more sane remedies for size.
