Echinacea doesn't work for me either. Sometimes the peroxide in the ears has worked. I didn't try that this time. Zicam is nothing I'd ever use, check this out:http://www.boingboing.net/2004/10/01/cold_cure_zicam_on_t.html Since I have in the past lost my sense of smell due to the use of Nasalcrom, I don't want to risk losing it again. The doc said Nasalcrom is notorious for causing anosmia, he also told me my sense of smell would likely never come back, but it did. Took a couple years, though. And it isn't entirely normal: I still have phantom problems (where one smells something that isn't there, or smells something that is there but it smells like something else entirely), very weird. Still any sense of smell is better than none.

Colds are a virus, there is no such thing as a cold caused by bacteria. Might be different viruses, but a cold is always a virus. And yes CS is effective against the cold virus..... And yes, sometimes it doesnt work for some reason. get some echenacia (boy that is spelled wrong) tincture and some of that Zicam for the times that the virus gets you anyway. Last year I got one cold that lasted about 2 days, everyone else around me, including the child that was sneezing a coughing all over everyone, had it for weeks. There are also people that swear that putting peroxide in the ears will do the trick if caught right away,,,,, cant beat the price and maybe its true.
