Ultimate cold remedy
Cory in Regina, Canada -I don't know where I got this from, but it works! At the first sign of a cold, put one drop of clove oil under your tongue. I will warn you, it tastes like hell, but I haven't had a cold in years!
One thing though, the longer you wait to do this, the longer it takes to be effective

Sweet orange for cold
John Wong in San Jose, California, USA -When you get a cold, eat 2 sweet oranges three times per day. That's a total of 6 oranges per day. I usually use sweet Texas oranges. If you live in San Francisco Bay area, you can get them from Marina Supermarket. Sometimes, it is available in Ranch 99 Supermarket. Make sure the orange is at room temperature and not from the refrigerator. If it is from the refrigerator, it would irritate the throat, especially when having a cough. After 3 days, you will feel much better. Continue this remedy 2 weeks after total recovery.

Never a cold again
Anonymous in New York -Never catch a cold again if you spray one drop of hydrogen peroxide in both ears every day.
Keep hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and keep it in the shower. Spray once in each ear daily and you will never catch a cold again

Sweat
Sam Hill in West Memphis, AK -When you get ready to go to bed, just put on a pair of sweatpants and a warm shirt. Then you will sweat out all the harmful toxins in your body. One night should work, but if not not, try one more night.

Eat garlic!
Jasper in Garlicville, USA -The cold virus hates garlic. Make you a garlic sandwich.
Thinly slice some garlic, spread it out on a slice of bread, top with a slice of cheese, and grill like you are making a grilled cheese. Delicious!
Or put some butter in a skillet. Thin slice some garlic in the pan. Stir and move garlic to side while browning the bread (like toast) Take out the bread, scoop on the cooked garlic and eat.
Garlic pills don't work, you gotta eat the real stuff.
(great before you go to the dentist too, Hahaha)
The best cure is to stay away from people that have colds and are sneezing on ya.
