Meenzer 14247 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Anyone know if this stuff is any cop, or if it's all just an advertising scam? I've got the kind of sore throat that can only mean a cold is coming on, and since I've had two of the buggers in the last two months and neither has gone away quickly, I wouldn't mind avoiding it this time.

Guest alex Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Anyone know if this stuff is any cop, or if it's all just an advertising scam? I've got the kind of sore throat that can only mean a cold is coming on, and since I've had two of the buggers in the last two months and neither has gone away quickly, I wouldn't mind avoiding it this time. I've used it a couple of times. First time the cold didn't develop, second time it did but it could have been a coincidence both times I suppose. I tend to up my Vit C intake if I feel one coming on. I used the nasal spray it solidifies your snots. Not sure of the science there. Don't eat them though, they taste like shit. Well, Vicks actually.

Toonraider 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I haven't tried that, so can't comment. But for sore throats I'd take Ibrupen to ease any inflammation and honey and lemon to soothe it. Or even ice-cream....flavour up to you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14247 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Right, so we're basically saying I should neck a glass of orange juice now and a tub of Ben & Jerry's later? I think I could get used to this kind of medical advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It works for me. I use it every time I get that kind of sore throat (about 4-5 times a winter), and the success rate is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that in idea circumstances it may be effective, however how you could actually time it to be effective in real terms I dunno. So basically by the time you've got a soar throat you're probably too late for it to have any effect, but line their pockets. Protein and fluid would probably be a better option by that point.

trophyshy 6567 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It worked once for me. I am now on ashwaganda and echinacea as well slow release broad spectrum vitamins. Have avoided all office illnesses since I began this routine (after months and months of illness). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Vicks actually. : Take vitamin c and zinc lozenges at first sign of cold (you get them from Holland & Barrett) Work a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
