I haven't found that many good cold medicines that relieved every symptom that I was having. The Advil series sux btw (excpet for Flu and Body Ache). Any suggestions?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
What do you guys think is the best cold medicine out there?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Antibiotics. But those aren't over the counter

Nyquil is good for at night before you go to sleep because it will knock you out. There is a daytime version called Dayquil that works really good at relieving symptoms but it only lasts for 4 or 5 hours for each dose. There are products that give up to 12 hours for relief, you might want to try one of those. Antibiotics on the other hand, will only work for bacterial infections not if your cold is caused by a virus(most colds are).
I saw something new called Zicam which is supposed to reduce the severity and duration of a cold. I haven't tried it yet but I heard it works!
Good luck!

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
But zinc does work for a cold. If you feel like your getting a cold buy some of these tablets called "Cold Eeze" they have some zinc glucose mixture and it will get rid of the cold the same day it starts.
Seriously, its saved me like 3 times in the last year an a half.

You're not taking enough. Drink the whole bottle.

Sudafed always seems to do the job for me.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You are correct, however that source sucks to prove so
I looked into it some more on my own.

Heh the website wasnt meant to be a source about the antibiotics, rather it tells you effective treatments for colds.Originally posted by Shiftkey

Zicam is overpriced but works great for me. I had the beginning of a sore throat on thurs night. Bought it and sprayed it into my mouth like mad (every 1.5 hours instead of the 3 that is says to), Fri I still had symptoms till about 3pm when most of them went away. Im fine now. So it shortened the cold alot. This is the second time that it helped me so it must work because my colds usually take about a week or two to run themselvs out

I would not recommend taking over 100mg of zinc a day.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

fitnessguy, what are the side affects of taking too much zinc? I didnt have anywhere near 100mg but I was taking 2x the dosage for a day.

Abdominal cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, increased risk for prostate cancer, and anemia. Also the more zinc you have, the less copper you have, and the less good cholesterol.
If in general you eat a high protein diet you probably have a good amount of zinc in your system so don't have to worry about being in a deficiency. If you take a multi-vitamin you are probably getting plenty of zinc with that and your diet. If you are not, supplementing with say a 50mg pill of zinc is fine I would think.
