Best Cold / Flu medicine

I ended up getting DayQuil / Niquil and Fishermen's best. They helped a little bit, and I did my presentation. After the presentation, my boss sent me back to the hotel to get some rest. Then, he called me at the hotel, and when I told him I still felt bad, he sent me home. I'm home now, feeling a bit better.

If you can get to a Safeway or a Long's get your hands on Oscillococcinum. Whenever I start feeling the flu I dart to the store and pick this stuff up - works magic.

 

So yesterday morning I could feel a 2 week flu coming on. You know, stinging pain in the back of the throat, head felt like it was full of Slime in a Can. Went out and got this Oscillo stuff. Friggin expensive ($20 for 4 days worth). I gotta say, I'm feeling much better today.

 

And I went online to see just what the active ingredient is, and it's confusing as hell:

 

The preparation is derived from duck liver and heart, diluted to 200C—a ratio of one part duck offal to 100200 parts water.[2] This is such a high dilution that the final product contains not even one molecule of the original liver. Homeopaths claim that the molecules leave an imprint in the dilution that causes a healing effect on the body, although available evidence does not support efficacy beyond placebo.

 

That's right, one part active ingredient to every 100 to the two hundredth power of water. :wacko:

I do feel better. . .that's worth 20 bucks to me. Of course the only way to know if this stuff had anything to do with it is build a time machine, go back to yesterday and not take the stuff and see how I feel in alternate universe today.

 

I wonder if that's do-able. :wacko:

uh no

 

placebo effect or luck, that "medicine" :D had nothing to do with it.

 

From your own link:

Mathematically, in order to have a reasonable chance to obtain one molecule of the original extract the patient would have to consume an amount of the remedy many times larger than the known universe.

Since this was bumped:

 

Preventitive cure (when the wife or son is sick or I'm feeling like it's coming on).

 

Zinc, Echinacea (lots), C, Claratin D - masks symptoms(Sudafed and regular Claritin or generics are the same thing.)

Let's see. . .at $5 a dose, that'd come out to. . . . (scribble scribble). . . (carry the 3. . .). . . .
