Tips from a Med School Student - The Common Cold

[KanonXKawaii]

dont call it the common cold, call it the "I feel like fucking shit and i need to fuck myself up on overdosed prescription medicine and illegal drugs and drown myself in alchohol" xDDD

ive just started high school and i cant be ill for 1 week! ive got too much going on!

[mad4eva1]

wait until u start college =D

[ziplockism]

well then chill out

[thatrooneygirl]

Why is a med student making all of these videos? Wouldn't someone who actually had an M.D. and had actually been paid to practice medicine be a little more credible?

[Gtrplyr1]

in general that would be the common presumption, however med students are equipped with a lot of knowledge and i would say are underatted.

no shit. this isn't complex. MD's know how to do brain surgery and put stents in peoples' hearts. not educate rednecks on how to not get chlamydia even though, for some odd reason, everyone in your family has it..

ECHINAECA, NO MORE flu's or cold's, consume a few drops of ECHINAECA a day. WILL Increase your Immunity. Your Immune System.

Standardized liguid ECHINAECA. I haven't been sick since I began taking ECHINAECA.

maybe if you call it ECHINACEA it's better...

Hi

It's not a cure, it's a preventative. When cold and flu season arrives begin ingesting it. Daily at first then a couple times a week then once a week. Now I consume it once a month. You could walk into a room ambient of colds or flu's your immune system will be above all as you enter and walk about. Resistant... Even when you 1st begin to feel the symptoms, at that time I trippple dose +.

You'll feel as though you caught it in 12 to 24 hours it'll disappear. BUT u must catch it in time.

I've read that there are about 200 rhinoviruses that cause most colds. So....... could I be exposed to all 200 at once or maybe 50 at a time and be immune to most for the next 30 years etc? that would be sweeeet baby!!! : )

[Coppulor]

not true about being cold etc. Read about a study in Men's Health - they had people at a company put their feet in cold water for 20 minutes at a time every day. 30% more caught a cold than did the employees that did not subject themselves to the cold exposure. Theory being that cold decreases circulation to extremities making points of infection supplied less with white blood cells etc. sounds logical to me.

[Cuntlickerr]

The common cold has nothing to do with weather

the extreme infection during winter is due to pple spending more time indoors hence higher rates of infection

the study that you quote cannot be generalized to the entire population,its just a simple study

[Coppulor]

well thats what I thought for years but they postulated that you have diminished blood flow to your extremeties including your nose which reduces your resistance (less blood flow = less leukocytes). makes sense to me!! I'll see if I can find more info on that study - it was very interesting.

[nerafiew]

From the info you gave that sounds like such B.S>

'A company' is way to small of a sample size... even a really big company is not going to have more than a few hundred employees volunteer to put their feet in cold water every day for twenty minutes.

And 30% is not a significant increase... for every 3 that didn't put their feet in cold water and got sick, 4 who did got sick. Big whoop.

I think its safe to assume that the 30% increase is due to idiots getting sick more often.

Actuly if you get some one to kick the shit out of you, you tend to feel alot better belive it or not.

[Coppulor]

rofl : ) i have a cold and that made me laugh. now i feel better! thank you : )

[sikwitit72491]

Your welcome. lol!

[redandcream]

so what if you didnt see anyone with a cold? or where do colds come from in the first place?

i got rid of a cold about 2 weeks ago and now i feel like im getting another why?

could it have anything with me stopping smoking? i have no idea but it would be nice to understand why i seem to catch a cold easier than anyone else

thank you

[Underjorden]

Answering you 6 months later prolly won't help. But for any1 else reading. It's a proven fact smokers have a higher chance of catching ANY existing disease.

[Snoylnoj]

wow, that helpped but unfortunatly my girlfriend got it off me about 5 hours ago lol, she used my phone and now i know hat thats the reason she got it, safe!!
