Any question answered...

Pretty sure I have a cold coming on (entirely my fault for riding yesterday). Anything I can do beyond overdosing on Vitamin C?

I've found echinacea to help.*

*May just be the placebo effect. YMMV.

I generally believe that you should just overdose on V-C... You should be doing it with all vits and minerals and eating lots of fruit, salad, and proteins (not necessarily meat).

I generally go all out on everything *even echinacea *. I also do as chainbraker does. Altho I have no idea what is just placebo and what isnt, it seems to work - I remain healthy while my colleagues sniff. smugface

And some other top tips:

• superdrug's own brand version of beroca is essentially identical and cheaper.
  
• put a dab of Vicks on the soft middle bit of your foot before you go to sleep.
  
• always keep your feet dry.
  
  

Whatever anyone says the placebo effect is incredibably strong and actually worth investing in IMO.
