The Briny Smell of Death; the Salty Taste of Love
RE: Colds
The metal we now know as zinc was discovered in the middle ages by a man named -- and I'm not making this up -- Theophrastus Bombastus Von Hohenheim.
I have had a cold for almost 5 weeks now; hense the research on zinc which is suppose to help with colds. It usually is used to prevent the oncoming rather than shorten the cold had.
Driving back from McManus, Brian (Huskey) told me to try megadosing Vitamin C. Take more than 1000 mg a day. My pill bottle says 250 mg is already 415% of my recommended daily allowance.
My roommate, Sarah, pooh-poohs the megadosing, citing some new study that says that too much C causes detremental effects to the body onces the megadosing is stopped.
Today I had 1000 mg of C. I hope it will help.
