So I'm going to Hawaii in 8 days..and a couple of days ago I started to get a cold....Yet again, I've been sick for most of the new year. I swear it never ends!
I need some tips of what I can do..I've been taking Echinacea for the past couple days, But I don't really think it's doing much yet..
What do you guys do when you want to get rid of a cold really fast?
I also go snowboarding a lot..so I spend a lot of time in the cold, I guess that doesn't help..But there's no way in hell I'm giving that up

Hm... Zicam is supposed to lessen the duration of the cold?
I personally just take a lot of vitamin C. (3-4g/day.)

That much vitamin C isn't healthy for you, I think 1g/day would be better.

eat garlic like it's going out of style. when I was eating it religiously I never got sick (like being around passing bowls when everybodies sick) but as soon as I stopped BAM!

liquor
if rubbing alcohol kills shit for sterile mushroom production, it must kill the bad thangs in your body, too
drink screwdrivers for the vitamin c boost
actually, it'll just lower your immune system, but I like to think it helps

EpiCor High-Metabolite Immunogens save me whenever I feel like I'm coming down with something... I dose high on 'em and it almost always nips colds in the bud. Hope you get to Hawaii feeling as right as rain, Kir.

Thanks for all the suggestions! 
I'm currently drinking some green tea..Bought some vitamin C tablets at work as well.
I'm going to keep taking my Echinacea..
I'll have to make something awesome tomorrow with all these ingredients that have been suggested 
I've had a lot of people tell me Hawaii will cure all my sickness...I sure hope so
