  • I'm sure others have said this, but it's not good to suppress a cough. You're body is getting rid of the junk in your lungs. It sucks, but it's better to cough it out then let it sit in their clogging everything up. The same goes for sweat. When you use and anti-perspirent deodorant you're blocking your body from doing what it's supposed to--getting all the toxics out of your body. Why can't we just trust our bodies to do what they're meant to and get over it being an inconvenience.

  • @rimfa123 There becomes a point where there is nothing coming up from the cough. I just had major congestion with a slight cough for 2 days. Then I didn't want it stopped now that the congestion is gone I want the cough to be less as well.

  • my right ear enjoyed this....

  • This guy looks amazing like Lord Sugar lol. But great video, quite helpful regarding rubbing Vix on the soles of your feet!

  • Wow dark chocklate thats neat but on another video I saw that they had mentioned sugary food, candy or sodas weakens your immune system and makes the cold or flu over power you and spread faster.

  • Isn't it the point that you have to cough when your reflex's intitate a cough? A cough is my lungs removing debris from themselves, why would anyone want to stop that process? You can have a nasty cough for a while, or you can walk around with rotting debris clogging up your lungs, I know which one I'd prefer. And this is coming from someone that was kept up until 5am for two nights recently with a cough.

  • @jmileshsturkey I agree...totally useless.

  • Totally useless information for one who has a REAL cough. Vicks on feet: useless. Try it, you'll see. And, Lord, cough drops?
