Natural Cold Help

Tis the Season.

Hey folks,

I have already felt it. Some of you already felt it. Tis the Season for Colds, Sickness, and Disease. I was doing great so far this year, until Joshua started School. First Week? Yup. I got sick. My friend got sick. Our up coming fill in Host, uh, Guest Blogger, got sick. More on that soon. Point is, people get sick this time of year. Normal. Expected. Happens every year.

Now of course, you really should go see the Doctor when you do not feel well. I'm NOT a Doctor, nor do I play one on TV. I'm not an expert on Health although I post information FROM the Experts and those that understand Sickness and Disease. There are many things out there that we need to be concerned about. Bird Flu, Swine Flu, now an outbreak of Whopping Cough in California. There are REAL threats out there.

However, the most common, and most likely what you are going to face, is the Common Cold. Now if you are like me, you would rather look for more Natural Remedies than putting a bunch of man-made chemicals in your system that may actually make you feel worse. I told this story before. Last year when I was thought to have the Swine flu, the Doctors gave me this liquid codeine stuff. I took it one time. I lay down and tried to take a nap, this was like day 5, and I kept hearing things. Seriously. Laura and Selina took Josh to Miami for a Photo Shoot and I kept hearing people walking around the house. Then, I kept hearing text messages being received. No one was there, no text messages. So needless to say, I never took it again.

You know you. You know what the Common Cold feels like. So here are some tips that you could try when you start getting that old familuar feeling. According to our friends over at Fluwikie.com - How to cure yourself at home
