Common Cold

I had a flu jab 2 weeks ago with absolutely no ill effects but what I, as a lay person, don't understand is how the vaccine can protect you against all the different flu viruses. There are so many strains of flu, some of them mutating from earlier viruses, that I can't see how they can all be covered. If the vaccine only protects the lungs against viral infection of any sort, why is there a separate pneumonia vaccine?

Colds are a different matter. It annoys me when someone has a heavy, feverish cold and says they've got flu, when you have real flu you appreciate the difference.
 
ive had a cold now for 2 weeks and its only just going now, ive not had a cold or flu in 7yrs, and now i think their is a cold epidemic
 
I have heard, crushed up garlic in your shoes, is good for your chest if you have a chest infection.
After about 1 hour you can smell the garlic on your breath, as your body has absorbed it.
 
Yup, garlic was the first thing that came to my mind. I like to put a chopped up a clove into some chicken buillion along with some parsley and oregano.

Also, drink alot of water and make sure you get enough rest. Also agree with Margaret about echinacea. I also believe very highly in having the right types of vitamins and minerals. This is in addition to the many organic vegetables we consume. IMO, it can be hard to get enough of the needed vitamins in diet alone. IMO, the recommended daily allowance numbers are much too low for all the stuff we're exposed to in our foods, water, air, as well as stinky feet! LOL
