If it was that simple, scientists would be having a field day.
It is a virus (one of thousands) that will cause a cold/flu, because it attacks the receptors in the throat most susceptable for it to get into the human body...hence why your throat feels sore.
Vit c, echinacea, 'sweating it out', aspirin, salt water etc etc CAN NOT destroy a virus...they might alleviate some symptoms of the virus slightly BUT so far we dont know of anything that will kill one of the thousands of virus' responsible for cold/flu.
Its possible to immunise against the flu virus but we cant cure it if someone already has it. Just relieve symptoms slightly. |
I disagree....
Last time I had anti-biotics for flu was over 10 years ago. I have had many sore throats during my life time to point I could not eat.drink or swallow but since gardling with salt water they never get out of hand. Granted I load up the vitamin C but I dont see a doctor for colds and flus. And I might be catching it before it's a full blown sore throat these days but so far everyone around me suffers.
Now I know what you saying BritBB but I can only report on what I have experience specially since I always used to get sore throats. Maybe faith in the remedy is more powerful than the virus... who knows?
And I dont believe doctors and all their shyte they talk anyway. After all they say steroids kills. Whenever you there they push whatever they get the most kickbacks.
"more muscle" - Try the salt water and report back to us. 3 days will be enough time to notice a good change.
