Go get yourself a powdered form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) with bioflavonoids in it. the bioflavonoidswill increase the effectiveness of vitamin C. Have 3,000 4,000mg (3-4 teaspoons) daily mixed with water until the cold subsides then mainain your immunity with 1 teaspoon daily.
A powdered form of zinc or tablet form will also increase the effectiveness of the power of vitamin C. Some health food stores sell the Zinc and C powder ....... that one is my vitamin of choice with a cold and for bolstering your immune system.
Drink vitamin C rich rosehips tea, the organic loose leaf variety, as this is the richest known source of vitamin C.
Increase your intake of vitamin C rich foods on a daily basis as vitamin is a water soluble vitamin. Therefore we need to ingest it on a daily basis.
ie; citrus fruits, lemons, limes and oranges, berries, leafy and green vegies, tomatoes and red and green peppers and potatoes.
Ensure you are drinking plenty of pure filtered water ... avoid caffeine containing beverages such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks as these will only serve to dehydratte you and rob your body of essential B & C vitamins.
Ensure you are drinking or eating something with Beta - carotene in it daily to heal quicker and in future to prevent further colds. Vitamin A will aid in the proper function of the immune system, shorten the duration of illnesses and generally bolster the health of the mucosal lining of your ear nose and throat. ie: carrot juice, pumpkin soups, eggs, miklk and dairy products.
Take a good quality multi B complex supplement on a daily basis both now while you are sick and on a daily basis in future. The B complex of vitamins is esssential for healthy immune, digestive and neural functioning and will help your body deal with the extra stress of being ill.
GOOD LUCK BUDDY

In Canada, there is a product called Cold FX. It's got ginger and ginseng in it. Works effectively.
Zicam is a pretty great product for fighting off a cold. I used it recently when a cold started, and my symptoms have been minimal. They say its supposed to shorten the length and effects of the common cold. It's an over the counter product so you can get it at grocery stores and pharmacies.
take half a tea spoon of ginger juice with half a tea spoon of honey.
