anyone catch a cold lately

[kimo wires]

Just wondering. Is there something going around? I woke up today with what I thought was bad allergies. but Allegra and sudafed are doing nothing for me. Got a sore throat, sneezing and feeling run down and worse this evening.

yup... got a cold probably the same thing as you. Drink lot's of tea and flush it out.

Get well soon!

It has been running through our middle school, takes 3-5 days if you don't get a secondary infection. I was out for 3 and under the weather for another 2.

Make sure you gargle with Hawaiian salt (alae one) and warm water, drink lots of juice, and honey with cinnamon seems to work well, too.
(Sorry, don't mean to be bossy. lol.[])

Take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic coughs and colds and help to unblock the sinuses.

People have been hacking around here, too. Couple of the keiki have the "hupe(hanabata)nose". Hope you feel better soon.

I have had a cold and nagging cough for 3 weeks.

I've only been sick once and I attribute my stalwart health to probiotic consumption. The one time I was sick I was living in Italy, had just moved there, and was unable to maintain much control over my diet. This led to a drastic and abrupt change in probiotic intake during which (i assume at the airport) I got pretty sick.

Luckily with the myriad of cultures and foods abundant in hawaii we have a large amount of probiotics available to us!

You might try using a good air purifier as there is a lot of aerosol action occurring in our skies
Currently. This is one of the better manufactures out there :http://www.alpineairproducts.com/

Opihikao and rainyjim have it right. We do all three, plus we vape ionic silver and drink colloidal silver as well. No colds or flu in this household for the past three years and we have lots of grandbabies in school here so colds abound! I might add that I am on targeted chemo for the past 9 months so low immune system always right now. Two weeks ago felt a sore throat after the weekend with grandkids and doubled up my cinammon & honey and the silver....gone within a day. Take care of yourselves!
