Unfortunately CS doesn't seem to deal with the cough. We have always taken it here when we have picked up colds or viruses from other people, and it does lessen the symptoms and shorten the duration, but it doesn't just wipe it out. As there is no cure for colds I suppose if it did, we would all be millionaires! I don't know what the MO is for coughs so if I did, I suppose it would explain why CS doesn't stop it. One thing, proteolytic enzymes are supposed to be a good thing to stop viruses, because they eat the protein coating that viruses wrap around themselves to stop the immune system from attacking them. dee

I either have the flu or pneumonia. Am beginning to feel better but have coughed myself silly, sore throat, and one blocked ear. Sinuses have bothered me for a month but kept up with the CS. That is all I have taken besides cough drops. I was not prepared for this and sure won't go looking for leaves. LOL I have been rather disappointed that the CS didn't knock it out as I drank a lot all through the day. Sprayed my face,nose, ears and throat. It's the cough that has been the worst. Did spit up some blood. Oh, Roger mentioned taking some Iodine along with CS. Would that help me?? I have some here.

Oh, the mold problem mentioned, there is a solution. Get a spray bottle and mix 3/4 Hydrogen Peroxide with rest water and spray away. Got this info from a man who helped with the FEMA trailers. You can also add to your clothes wash and will not discolor.

I would avoid that shot no matter what.

Best to all.
