Teaspoon of cement?

Haven't had the flu in years, so sorry no magic cures but used to just load up on cold and flu tablets and disappear under the covers till it passed.

Second that

Tue, 2013-08-06 19:07

Second that opinion, you need to strengthen your natural immune system. Hot chilli food and garlic, orange juice and warmth/rest. I bloody well hate to sound like such a hippie but old fashioned natural remedies are FAR better than antibiotics for colds/flu etc. IN MY OPINION. You have to give them time but they work.

Do what the wife tells you to

Tue, 2013-08-06 19:17

Do what the wife tells you to do! The other week I pinched a nerve in my neck, put off gettin a 'tune up' then got crook with a cold, had to get the back sorted, back at work next day, all good, that night, cold sweats, fever etc, next week I was gettin over and ear, chest and for the first time, a sinus infection. My mrs warned me to not get massaged, it spreads infection. She also told me to get my back sorted days before.

Dead Chook

Tue, 2013-08-06 20:08

Get a dead chicken, feathers and all and hang it on a piece of twine around your neck and don't remove it for a week.

. Guaranteed to keep others people from coming near you and catching your lurgi and by the time it drops off the string you will be over it as well.

 Old school remedy i've used

Tue, 2013-08-06 23:17

 Old school remedy i've used for years to strengthen the immune system,  a multi vitamin, vitamin c chewable tabs ( 3 - 4 at once ) and 2 garlic and horseradish capsules 3 times a day. Also, its best to chew the vit c tabs after downing the garlic and horseradish caps. . . . . . . However, you'll find if you take 1 multi, 1 vit c and 1 g and h cap each morning as a daily routine you won't get another cold or flu again.

Seldom (been years) that I get flue

Wed, 2013-08-07 06:18

But when I did my cure was easy, three lemons squeezed into a glass (a BIG glass) then top up to the rim with pure malt scotch - stir and sip slowly until all gone and then go to bed and sleep off the flu - hell if it don't work you feel a bloody sight better in any event

 Flu shot wont prevent you

Wed, 2013-08-07 10:54

 Flu shot wont prevent you getting the common cold - which is what a lot of people call the 'flu', if you get the influenza  virus you will know about it.

 Yeah was gonna say that Timmbo. Not much you can do about either but rest up and try not give it to any one else. Just need to be aware of chest infection that's something the doc can treat colds and flu you can't and can only temorarily minimise the symptoms. Just HTFU ;) ya bunch of sooks.

 Ah you're talking about preventative action Uncle, where we are talking about once you have it. Mind you, you can still get the flu even if you've had a jab just not as severe this is why it's important for the elderly to have it. And pussies lol

the flu and the common cold
