Re: Horrors! I caught a cold!

Hi Owen,

Sorry you've been suffering lately :( hope you feel better soon :)

However, I don't understand the reaction of 'horror'. To my mind colds are a good thing, not a bad thing, (unless you're having them all the time of course!). It means your immune system is working....after all, the symptoms are just your immune system doing the job it was meant to do.

I'm studying natural nutrition and the philosophy on the course is that a cold once or twice a year is just the body's way of clearing out junk and rebalancing itself in response to seasonal changes. Whatever your immune system is fighting, at least it IS fighting, rather than allowing toxins/viruses etc to go deeper inside, leading to more serious illnesses.

Personally I don't believe in suppressing colds and trying to make the symptoms go away. I think the best thing to do is let it run it's course and allow your immune system to become stronger and perhaps include some supportive measures such as enemas, fasting (if appropriate), skin brushing, hot and cold showers, sunbathing.

Ooops sorry didn't mean to go on, I know this is the vit C forum!
