getting rid of a cold
Does anyone know if Alkaseltzer Plus is safe to take for a cold ? I read that it is as long as it doesn't have aspirin in it, which it doesn't.
ZICAM-I will swear by this product. If you even think you are gettign a cold or flu start ZICAM right away. The worst I have gotten in years i s runny nose for a day and a headache. I can't imagine how many times I have fought off the sickness before it got to me!

Chicken soup is definitely a good soup to have when feeling unwell. The consome chicken soup is the one that my daughter insists on having when she is ill. It is usually served with thin noodles.
Eat chicken soup and take ginger tea. These are the fastest way to get rid of cold and flu.

Science Daily - Vitamin D crucial to activating immune defenses...
"Scientists have found that vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin - the killer cells of the immune system -- T cells -- will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. The research team found that T cells first search for vitamin D in order to activate and if they cannot find enough of it will not complete the activation process."
