The virus-thing only lasted about 2 and a half days...

Here's a formula for a good-working (from my own experience) cold-fighting remedy, passed on to me by a cool person. Whenever you start feeling like you're getting a cold, take...
3 garlic tablets (1200mg each), and 3 vitamin C tablets (500mg each), and some echinacea (about 500mg, although mine is in drops form and also includes goldenseal).
Do that 3 times a day, for 3 days. (Yes, that's a whole lotta tablets.) Don't do it for more than 3 days because supposedly one's body can build up a tolerance to the echinacea otherwise. I think the garlic is the most important part of it though.

Here's an update on the quantities based on what I currently use (what the store had available) when I start feeling a cold coming on... I don't think the exact amounts are what is important, other than you get a lot of them.

All of these are in tablet form:
garlic pills - 400mg each (equivalent to 2000mg fresh garlic) - 3x3 = 9 a day
vitamin C - 250mg or 500mg each - 3x3 = 9 a day
echinacea - 125mg each - 2 a day
