eat foods with garlic.

Wash your hands frequently. It's important to help keep germs away you pick up in places away. You need to boost up your immune system with vitamin C and some one said bananas is very good


Buy some tonic - my hubby is a teacher and used to get loads of colds but he now takes tonics every day and is fine.


maybe you have an allergy like to mold. my daughter had the same problem until i used mold proof paint

try and figure out what is it that activates your cold just stop having cold drinks and ice cream. try keeping germs away from u & start drinking more orange & apple juice better yet try eating chicken noodle soup that always do the trick of getting rid of colds.


I was just like you. I started getting colds all the time that lasted forever one after the other.
I ended up changing the carpet in my bedroom. That helped the most.
I diligently wash my hands, touch little in public, no cashier's pens to sign my name. Leave public restrooms if I cant use tissue or my outer sleeve to open the door I use my pinkie finger.ANYTHING you touch in public should be treated as if contaminated with cold germs, whether shopping going to a restaurant etc.

A cough "hangs" in the air for 2 hours. If someone coughs in front of me in public and I have to walk through the same path, I dont breath for a few seconds. Elevators, everywhere just careful. Carry hand sterilizer gel if needed.
Change your pillow since you've had so many frequent bouts. Vacuum and dust regularly and dont touch your face or hair when doing so. Wash your hands and change your clothes after you dust. I quit eating or drinking after anyone in the family and dont allow anyone to eat or drink from my stuff.

I've done this and more and I havent had bouts of colds for a few years, instead of every 6-8 weeks. I know this will help, I surely hope so. So glad to share with you. Keep me informed on how you're doing. Best wishes.


Unfortunately absorbic acid is falsely promoted as being "vitamin C."
It turns out this synthetic molecule is produced through corn or rice starch being transformed (in over 30 steps) with chemicals to produce something which does not occur in nature as an isolate. It is so acidic it can pull calcium out of the tissues, if not worse: form kidney stones. It is also thought to be pro-oxidative in amounts over 500 mg. The vitamin C found in food is infinitely superior, having necessary cofactors like bioflavanoids, protein chaperones (that deliver the vitamin C to the right place) and other as of yet poorly understood essential food factors. You'd be much better served eating whole food vitamin C, i.e. oranges, kale, etc.

Also, avoid Dairy and Wheat at all costs. These two things are the most destructive to the immune system. umm.. i smoke. and i am sick all the time. people tell me that smoking could cause me to have colds all the time.so if you are a smoker.that may be it.
