Thanks, Not much proof on the Zicam or Airborne, but a lot of people swear by them. Don’t forget good ole chicken soup.

Great tips.
My problem is, according to the pharmacists I’ve asked, there are no OTC meds for cold/flu for people with high blood pressure and diabetes here in England. I was told to use Vicks.
Times like these, a cold, I wish I was back in the states.

I just want to say that acerola, a natural vitamin C supplement, has literally never failed me. It is the greatest immune boost I’ve ever used and keeps colds at bay or kicks them out in minutes!I like the “pure encapsulations” formula bc it’s hypoallergenic and easily digestible.
