Never, never ask a woman her age.

I take 1000mg’s of vitamin C every day. It’s good for all kinds of things. If I’m sick, I’ll take a thousand mg every 4 or 5 hours.


Totally okay since it’s a water soluble vitamin. You’ll piss out what isn’t needed.

Zinc is the active ingredient of Zicam, FYI, and you can buy generic zinc supplements in your local grocery pharmacy area for about 1/12 the price of the Zicam......and it’s a higher dose and a much larger quantity, typically.

As for the silver, where do you find it? Would be interested to research it. I think you and Rig are both proponents of it, so I’d love to see more about it.

Pour hydrogen peroxide in the ears right when you feel the cold coming on. Do it every few hours. You can hear all the bullshite bubbling out plus it feels amazing. That shite works. It's science.


Not saying that use is the same, but people use peroxide with wounds a good bit and it’s not a great idea. It actually kills tissue.

I take the zinc in the form of coldeez. It works.

The only place I know of to get silver solution is UGA animal hospital. It is used on wounds that won't heal. They don't know how or why, just that it works. That may or may not be different than the silver JD speaks of.

Try bypassing the coldeez and just grab the zinc supplements. You’ll save $$$, get more and have the same success.

Zicam works pretty well for me but this time I didnt take it fast enough. But I still did use it until it was gone which I think kept the bad part of the initial cold to a minimum. Zinc does work along with V-C

My point is Zicam = zinc. You can save $$$.

Yes it does. You know what's worse, though? If you mess around and fall down...especially on a hard surface.

I found that out the hard way during Thanksgiving weekend. Banged up one of my knees pretty bad, and it seemed like it took forever for the pain and swelling to go away. It hurts worse and takes longer to heal as you get older....I am 50, by the way. Other than being diabetic, which was inherited from my dad, I am in pretty good shape for my age. I still jog 5k 4 times a week. But that fall ruined my running for a little bit.

I can understand now how a simple fall can eff up someone that's of a more advanced age than I am.
