A member asked:
What steps can i take/do to get over my cold within a week? any advice? saunas? soups? dayquil/nightquil? anything to get over this feeling?

Chicken soup: drink at least 2 liters of water a day to help flush the viral load out of your bloodstream. Hyperthermia definitely helps – you can elevate your core bodytemperature faster in a hot tub than a sauna. Between 103 and 104°F, the hyperthermia interferes with the enzymes necessary for DNA and RNA replication. Taking NyQuil will just lower your fever. Chicken soup! B12 IM and carnitine tabs tid help.
