Cure for cold

My cure for a cold:

Eat heat: A scorching curry or heavily spiced pasta dish. Spicy carbs and richness are good right now. It's comfort food but gives your body virus fighting calories. Pepper everything you ingest. Minimum, 1400 calories per serving.

Chicken stock: Vital for cold fighting. Forget chicken soup, go right for the source. Chicken stock is available in cartons from your local grocery store. Throughout the day, drink several mugs of microwave warmed chicken stock. You should drink at least 1 litre of chicken stock per day during your cold.

Drink booze: Who cares what the labels say, and ignore your pharmacists advice. It's not like you are Corey Haim Dr. shopping for your daily cocktail. Stay with the hard stuff. I recommend vodka, but whisky, gin and tequila will work. Start with a full shot glass, grind some pepper on top and knock it back. Wait 10 minutes, then take your cold and flu pills.

NeoCitran: I don't know what's in it, but this stuff is like legal opium. Add a shot of vodka, and the visions promised by the yellow dragon are even greater. Drink several glasses of water before Neo tripping, as it's very dehydrating.

Cold Sweats: If you have cold sweats and feel generally toxic and fatigued after days of suffering, I recommend an enema consisting of equal parts NeoCitran, chicken stock and vodka.
