Nice video but re: stopping inflammation, that's not such a good idea. People take all sorts of things to lower temperature and inflammation, but those are actually needed for a good response. Lowering the 2 only increases cold duration, there's plentiful research out there that supports this. Remember most of the problems from the virus is symptomatic responses, and are quite important to cleanse the virus from the body.
You're welcome. I'm glad to see also you suggest avoiding alcohol. Right now I have a cold and a friend of mine told me "Take whiskey and lemon and it'll be gone tomorrow, I was surprised to find he actually believed it to work. Sadly there's a lot of myths and bad advice around, but glad to see someone who takes a more relaxed way to give advice. Thanks also for talkng about artificial sweeteners. I've seen them in over the counter cold remedies and I also find it terrible they can sell these.
Good motto! I'm not sure about over there, but still here in the UK we allow Aspartame into our drinks and food, and recently was tested some drinks contained up 100mg per 0.5 litre which was illegal. Not only that I found baby products with both Saccharin and Aspartame in it, which I was under the illusion that it was banned in all BABY products, but I guess that's not the case. Vitamin C pills for kids contain Saccharin and Aspartame in them as well. Pretty sad really that they can do this...
Our food and beverage products are loaded with aspartame, sucrolose and acesculfame potassium (ACE-K). It's sickening to me. Most people are getting the majority of that exposure from gums and mints. They don't even think to read the labels of those items.
The ironic thing is that they sell those gums as "healthy for teeth and gums", but fail to mention "unhealthy for the rest of your body". I try to tell people to read labels of foods more often, but most people don't even bother. I think people need to be more educated on the danger of some of the ingredients in foods.
Keep the videos coming. I subscribed and look forward to watching and listening more from you.

Common sense easy to implement nutrition is my motto. I'm shocked at how many OTC supplements have artificial sweeteners!
