For your throat drink Bragg's apple cider vinegar mixed with fresh squeezed lemon juice and unheated honey. For your cold drink a mixture of unpasteurized pasture grazed cream or butter, unheated honey, lemon and whole raw pastured egg. Celery juice with a little unheated honey. No other sugar, lots of fats. Let your cold run its course. Don't let your system get dried out. Do an enema with your own urine (unless you have a uti). Do neti pots. Do ear candling. Rest. Bundle up to keep warm. Your pick of what you will and won't do, but I recommend all.

I don't eat dairy or eggs so those things are out but I really like the sound of the celery juice with raw honey. Maybe I'll also juice some cucumber for hydration.

It does work too. But fasting on distilled water Debbie? What fast do you recommend as I know there are many.

Thanks for the blog link, I hadn't thought about using peppermint essential oil but I will try some when I get home. I think I will also start drinking it in a glass in the mornings, I usually get off to a slow start so maybe this will change things?

Green juice or ionized water is what we do around here for fasting/illness.

i tend to eat only fruit so my body doesn't have to work hard to digest food. you can eat fruit that's not sweet - ie bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.

you need vitamin A, C, and E. I usually drink carrot juice which is high in vitamin A. gypsy cold care tea is wonderful. and LOTS of rest. take care.

I have been drinking the ACV with lemon and honey, very tasty and soothing! I hope there isn't such a thing as too much. I've also been making juices/smoothies using celery, cucumber, carrot and honey with some ginger. Very hydrating and comforting.

I am much less stuffed up although my throat still hurts...but feeling much better, thanks everyone for the good advice!
