A member asked:
Is it true that terrible cold symptoms are the product of a strong immune system, rather than a weak one? thank you :)

No: If you have recurrent severe cold symptoms you need rule out an over-reacting immune system, i.e. allergy, or a truly weak one. To answer this question you need to see your doctor or an allergist/immunologist if you have access to one in your area, good luck
