I used to get a couple colds every year. I then started taking a daily multivitamin. No more colds. Well, two minor ones in the last 6 years which didn't interfere with anything.
If your body has the normal amounts of vitamins and minerals, it is usually equipped to handle normal infections. Food today, and our diets, generally just don't cut it.
Of course some are exposed to certain environments where you are just bombarded with exposure, but vitamins still help.
Sore throats. I never believed it until I tried it. Throat bacteria dies in a constantly wet environment. Suck on a candy, Werther's Originals are great, that is thick and coats well. One after another. A whole bag if you have to. Don't let any time go by without having one in your mouth. And the sore throat will be gone in a much shorter time than you would believe. I cured one in a day that way.
Of course warm salt water works too, but not as enjoyable or as fast.
For those who can handle it, although I've never tried it, take a strong alcohol, like a 151 proof rum, hold some in the back of your throat until you can't handle it anymore, then spit it out.
If that doesn't kill the bacteria, then it will make them much easier to get along with. ;D

If you are stuffed up a few drops in a pot or bowl of steaming water usually does the trick just inhale the minty steam and have a tissue or three handy. It can also be used safely in a cold or warm air vaporizer for children, and adults.
