Vit D3, H2O2, Afrin (oxymetazoline): Here are several suggestions that might help. Most folks are vitamin D deficient--very important for immune system. Take 10,000 IU Vit D3 every day that you're sick--then 5,000 IU thereafter. Get a humidifier, fill with 1 part H2O2, and 2 parts water. That will provide a 1% aerosolized solution of H2O2. Kills virus on contact, forms oxygen and water. Afrin nasal spray to decongest sinuses.
