Crazy Voodoo Cures

[Snake Plissken]

Let it be known that my immune system kicks total ass. I've never been on any sort of medication for anything aside from injuries, and that's always been temporary. I have no history of health problems in my family, and I rarely get sick.

Unfortunately, this is one of those rare special occasions where I have a major case of the sniffles and a cough. I hate sniffles; they're stupid and pointless. This will all blow over in a day or two, though.

Does anyone have any sweet remedies for the common cold? I know the typical stuff: drink fluids, get lots of rest, etc. That stuff is all boring. I want cool stuff, like weird traditions passed down to you or crazy Mexican cures. I find that shit hilarious. So, anybody got anything?

You can try homeopathic remedies, but those are not proven to work in the least by any scientific organisation. You take them a few times a day for a few weeks and you gradually get better (abotu the same time as a cold would run you. SURPRISE)

My immune system is similar to yours, and I just wait my colds out

If it's a mild cold stay in bed for 7 days. If it's a strong cold stay in bed a whole week. Alternative remedies includes, but are not limited to, swinging a dead cat over your head under a full moon or burying a potato with your name carved into it. Get well.

Not sure about colds, but I know when I was younger I had to drink hot water for a sore throat.

And by hot, I mean "YEOW that totally burnt my tongue off!" hot.

If you're an atheist, try praying to God. You might get a giggle or two.

Let it be known that I am a Christian, so this post is not offensive.
