The basic reason a common cold doesn't go away in a few hours is that you are reinfecting yourself through the respiratory tract. The germs in your throat are multiplying at great speed.
Repeatedly drinking half-pints of hot water (as hot as possible) continually kills the bacteria responsible for the continued presence of cold symptoms. This does NOT mean to do it as you always have, where you take five or six, maybe even eight sips of hot liquid, and then drink the rest of it warm. That has limited benefit - limited, of course, to the benefits produced by a few sips of hot tea, versus the benefits of sipping a cup of tea.
Instead, use this excellent shortcut, wherein the shortcut is successful no less than ninety percent of the time, works hugely and instantly, provided you include the foundation of you drinking more hot tea.
You don't even need to increase the number of cups of tea!! It DOES mean sipping more of the cups of tea that you DO have. It means some two hundred or more hot sips or mouthfuls of piping hot liquid within those first 24 hours.
If the water is warm or tepid, it's not doing its primary job of killing the bacteria. Must be hot, must be repeated, again and again and again. In between cups or bowls of hot liquid, cool fresh water maintains the flushing function. Pints of clean fresh water help accomplish the primary task, flushing out the body.
Depending on what you like or dislike, you can flavor the hot water, such as with soup, tea, etc., as long as "serious" food is mostly avoided for just 12 to 18 hours. As you may remember from school, the digestion of food demands a great deal of the body's resources when it's not food from the ground.
Considering what most of us put into our bodies regularly, it's far, far more effective to allow the body to focus on getting rid of the cold and clearing up the systems quickly, rather than being distracted by the enormity of digestion and its attendant and ancillary functions.
To throw a touch of the technical in, the brain's focus has impact not as yet acknowledged by conventional medical practitioners who continue to have the vested interests of time and income at stake. Literally, talking to your body has an immediate, powerful impact, at all times, whether you have a cold, or stressed shoulder muscles. Ignoring this single most powerful shortcut to improved health is nothing less than foolish.
A fantastic example of this can be found in the following demonstration.
You're waiting at a street corner to cross over. Suddenly, you feel a jab in the back and you hear a menacing voice saying, "Don't move or I'll blow your brains out."
You know, and I know, that your heart rate is going to zoom up, along with blood pressure, adrenaline flow, fear, and more. Your body instantly goes into "fight or flight" mode, wherein blood flow to the extremities is dramatically reduced, the digestion system stops in its tracks, as your body's so-called 'autonomic function' prepares for possible loss of blood and the need to defend the body. These are defensive functions that happen each time such a threat to the body and life itself is presented.
It then turns out to be a friend just pulling your leg, or perhaps an idiotic semi-criminal who only has his finger jabbed into your kidneys.
Aside from the relief in realizing that life is not threatened, the thinking person realizes that it was NOT a gun or knife that caused so many dozens and scores of bodily changes to take place... ... it was, specifically and identifiably, the words, feelings, and yes, commands that your mind issued to your body. Stop here and give this a good thought.
Your mind told your body to react, and did it ever respond to those commands. Your body persistently does as it is told to do... ... and it does so as consistently as you may wish, not merely for emergency response, as well for just about any situation you can name.
It is plain silly to think that you can't instruct your body, with those same tools you used in that 'emergency threat' situation, such as words and mental imagery, to IMMEDIATELY obtain relief from headaches, backaches, stomach problems, stressed muscles, and so much more.
Norman Cousin's book, "Anatomy Of An Illness," provides an effective blueprint for how a man sentenced to death by every doctor he consulted, defeated a terminal illness, laughing his way through life more than TWENTY YEARS after his death was expected. Those of you who might be fighting a so-called terminal disease, or who have friends/family in that sad situation are urged to read "Anatomy Of An Illness" and other books that teach us how to give healthier, more effective commands to the body.
When we examine hundreds of cases of cancer in remission without traditional treatments of chemical irradiation or surgery, not one of these hundreds of survivors had begun with a "I'll fight this" attitude. That's interesting, isn't it?
In each case, acceptance of the disease came first, THEN the decision to defeat it from the inside out, rather than from the outside in.
Because of this universal truth common to all of these remitted patients, that acknowledgement-cum-acceptance of the disease must be scientifically attached to the empirical result of 100% remission in each of these hundreds of cases. Yet, the so-called 'conventional medical community' does not, as of this date, accept any great influence of the mind over disease.
The imminent future will bring irrefutable evidence that mental influence is responsible for no less than 80% of all healing, as Pareto would happily remind us. Even something as seemingly "out of our control" as a common cold can most certainly be made subject to the rule that the human body follows the commands of the human mind.
To date, every major experiment done with zinc between 1979 and 2000 has shown zinc to reduce time length of a cold by fifty percent.
That fifty percent figure also applies to most cases of flu. Those who generally have a cold for five to ten days will observe all symptoms to be gone, or nearly so, within 48 hours.
Those who generally experience colds for 72 - 120 hours will observe complete relief to be achieved generally in 18 to 36 hours when they combine all three: near-boiling water, cool fresh water, and zinc (lozenges or liquid).
Obviously, rest is the gasoline that fires the engine of virtually instant healing. If you can understand that your eyes are using the lion's share of all of your total energy, remember to keep your reading to an absolute minimum for the twelve to eighteen hours it takes to eliminate the majority of your common cold or flu. With over a hundred and seven million sophisticated lenses in each eyeball, the energy required to use them is enormous. Give them a rest. That saved energy accelerates the healing process!
Approximately 100% of the time, fast and consistent relief is achieved.
No antibiotic, not even aspirin, can more than vaguely approach this method of getting rid of a cold. No doctors visits, no expensive medications, no food beyond the lightest and least you can handle. Listen to your body. It's a powerful device;
its natural state is one of healing and balance.
Why not let your body do what it does best?
