Usually I'm stuck with a cold for much longer, but I think my experimental regimen is working. I feel a lot better, so I'm going back into the Linden office today. Still sneezing occasionally, but I can breathe and I have more energy.
Summary of what I did at symptom onset:
- Consumed five oysters (for zinc and other minerals) on day 1
- Took echinacea/ginger/elderberry supplement 5 times a day for two days
- Took one dose of Sudafed when I awoke on day 2
- Took megadoses of Vitamin C (recommended by radiantsun, although I only took about 3,000 mg yesterday before my stomach protested) on day 2
- Rested for a full day on day 2, and got a great night's sleep
Today I'll do several more oysters at lunchtime and keep going with the supplements.
