Colds are viral infections, not bacterial. Viruses can't really be killed since they aren't necessarily alive. That's why it is said there is no cure for the common cold because the allopathic way to disease is by brute force: kill it, and maybe even kill the patient in the process. Of course we know there is a better way... Empower the body with greater strength and ability (by heightened detection, etc) do it can kill it. This is why megadosing C (especially in the early stages) is about as close to a cure as is possible. At best Miracle-Mineral-Supplement will take care of other issues so your body can focus on the cold.
