I have had a cold for a few days now and i bought a vitamin c supplement to try out something my friend told me to do wene you get a cold or a flu. It's pretty basic you just increase your vitamin c intake alot. I today took 2,000 mg of vitamin c and i dont no if it is a placebo affect but i already feel better. my nose is clearing up, and so is my head.

has anyone else done or heard of this and if so have you had good results.

Too much vitamin C will give you the runs and does nothing but nutritionlly support your body through the illness. It has no effect on symptoms or the duration of the illness.

Try this instead:

Oil of Oregano - or any "spice" combination like:

Cayanne
Garlic
Cumin
Sage
Cinnamon

Taken in pill or capsule is the BEST way to beat a cold or flu or reduce the length of a cold or flu cycle....

The best source for Oil of Oregano is a brand called "North American"...

Don't over do this stuff or exceed the recommended dose as they can thin the blood and cause excessive nosebleeds. I am talking from experience.

I have never heard of the oil and oregano, I will have to try that out but i do believe that vitamin c in larger doses does shorten the duration of the common cold.

Yreah its good stuff...make sure you buy the capsules though and eat a meal with it...otherwise you'll have the worst heartburn and after taste...

Any hippie food and health store will have it...

I have a cold right now too...sucks

I also take vitamin C...but I take the brand "Emergen-C" in a glass of water...tonnes of different flavours and mineral options...
