Question

Is there a quick cure for cough and cold other than medicines? what about losing my voice?

Answer 1

Yes, I have found that taking unseemly amounts of vitamin C is both effective and safe.

I usually take about 8000 mg (this is 16 500 mg tablets) at the start, then 5000 mg three times a day until my symptoms are gone (usually in 2 days) works quite well.  In fact, not only do I feel my symptoms going away, I wake up feeling like a million bucks.

This is completely safe.  I'm not sure how much water-soluble vitamin C a person would have to take to damage themselves, but my 14 yo 120-lb son accidentally took 25,000 mgs one day and he is fine - actually his cold just went away after that.

the only thing I would watch out for is if you have a sensitive stomach - then I would recommend having some fatty food right before you take the vitamin C to buffer it in your stomach.  I wouldn't do this at all if you have an ulcer.
