Today's the start of my vacation andddd....

Well, with the Airborne, if you're already sick, I think you are supposed to take a dose every three hours or something...I've only taken it once as a cure (as opposed to taking one a day as preventative), and it seemed to help. But, I think I took seven doses a day for several days, too.

Can you get ahold of a drink called Synergy? It's made of Kombucha, and the ginger one is great for nipping a starter cold in the bud. I get it at Sprouts Farmers Market, where I work. Maybe see if a specialty store carries it? Maybe even an Asian market or a Whole Foods/Central Market type store... I drink Synergy often and love how it makes me feel. Not the yummiest drinks in the world...I hear the ginger one is pretty gross. But, if it works, which I hear it does...you might want to give it a shot. I'll see if I can find a site.

1 oz. southern comfort
1 oz hot water
1 tbls.lemon juice
1 tbls. honey

Drink this before you go to bed, when you wake up tomorrow you'll be fine.
You might not know what hit you though so stay in bed all night.

Mom always said:

Drink FLUIDS!!! Water, Water, and MORE Water!

Drink till you "slosh"!
Hope it passes quickly!

(Wonder if they're gonna make you ride "in the back" with the 4-Leggers?)

I so wish I could have come...*jealous* I'm sure your cold will pass quickly. I don't really know of any remedies, but if you find a good one let me know! Say hi to Amy and her gang for me

Of course, I have the ONLY sure-fire way to rid you of your illness, and it involves Cincinnati and a blue eyed boy. He he he.

Lots of fluids, lots of gargling with salt water, and, as gross as it sounds, spit! Somehow, swallowing all that stuff you just coughed up seems to be insulting.

Most of the time, the bad part of the cold just lasts a couple of days..so, this is just a slight bump, and the fun you are about to have will make it seem like a distant memory.

Oh, no Kay! That's a bummer... I hope you are feeling better in no time!

[Giselle]

Aww, unfortunately, I think the only "cure" is in your own immune system. If I remember correctly, you'll need a good week to battle it off, but the advice above is good for suppressing the symptoms. Sorry, Kay, hope you feel better! At least you're getting half of the bad part over with right now
