Calcium, 600mg daily, my cardiologist put me on Calcium. One day listening to the radio a doctor claimed he has prescribed Calcium for his family and they haven't had colds. It was then I realized I haven't had a real cold in years. I might have had a sniffle a couple of times but minor and no real issue.
Being a bit of a Germaphobe does help...I also use the wipes that are available at stores on the shopping carts. I also keep germ-x in the truck for anytime after returning to my truck, especially after pumping my gas.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

I had a nasty cold two weeks ago; wife gave me oregano oil and Old Indian Cherry Bark syrup. All of it tastes worse than crap but it got me back to whatever normal is for me.
Hot toddy here usually clears me out,,an no,,i do NOT mean tkfurs. lol couple ounces of whiskey,a tablespoon of honey,teaspoon of lemon juice and add hot water.

That was my Grammy's cough syrup recipe. Two table spoons to help a cough, if that did not put you out two more usually did the job, still use it.
Alright fellas, I got a doozy of a head cold. What's your homesteader remedy? Please don't say Ny-Quil.
Boss, just can't help myself. Day-Quilt?
I actually broke down yesterday and took some after it felt like I had about 10 pounds of cotton shoved up my sinuses. Also had a strong hot toddy with some honey whiskey. I don't know if it helped my symptoms but it sure made me forget about them.

Since I started using the wipes on shopping carts a few years ago, haven't really had any colds either.
Also avoid directly touching door handles, ATM's, et cetra. Hadn't thought about gas pumps though...
