Thanks for this Lena I never thought of it like that. I have persevered with the O of O and the cold has abated considerably. I am also taking CS and nebulizing with it as well as the cold has gone on my chest¹ now for want of a better expression. I have great difficulty coughing as I have a very small lung capacity and all I get is a tightness around the chest. This is easing now after nebulising and I am still taking the O of O. My son is toomuch to my amazement as it tastes so foul just to avoid getting the cold, and so far, it seems to be working. dee

I have Lyme disease, and haven't 'had a cold' for years, but actually my body hasn't been able to respond to cold virus, making me drag down with general malaise and fatigue instead. All of the regular, albeit obnoxious, 'symptoms' we grouse about are actually signs of an an immune system going into overdrive, doing what it should. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye or the cultural perception. Western medicine is all about suppressing 'symptoms' but not necessarily addressing the underlying causes of real illness. Be well, Léna
