Does Zinc and Vitamin C Therapy Stop a Cold?

It is said that a cure for the common cold does not exist, but those that have used zinc and vitamin C therapy with success think otherwise. My colds always begin with a slight sore throat, and since I was going on a fishing vacation I had to find a way stop it from developing into something more serious. I found a bottle of Walgreen’s brand Zinc Cold Therapy in my boyfriend’s kitchen cabinet, and I decided to give it a try. I was beginning to feel miserable, and I had absolutely nothing to lose.

Use Zinc and Vitamin C Therapy at the First Sign of a Cold

When trying to stop a cold before it fully develops, use zinc and vitamin C therapy when symptoms begin. I had not experienced the sore throat for long before I began using zinc and vitamin C therapy. It was the perfect opportunity to find out if it would really work to stop the oncoming cold.

Directions for Using Zinc and Vitamin C Therapy Tablets

Since different brands of zinc and vitamin C therapy tablets have varying quantities of active ingredients, it is best to follow product label directions when trying to stop a cold. Walgreen’s brand tablets melted in my mouth, and they tasted fantastic. They instantly soothed my sore throat, and they worked to stop my cold and save my vacation.

The directions said to allow one tablet to melt in the mouth every 3 hours for up to 48 hours, or until the symptoms subside. In addition, the directions said not to drink or eat anything for 15 minutes after use, especially citrus fruits or juices. The tablets should not be chewed or swallowed. In any case, all of the directions on the packaging should be read and followed.

A Homeopathic Cure for the Common Cold

Walgreen’s brand Zinc Cold Therapy worked quickly to stop my cold. Within 48 hours the symptoms were just about gone. If I had not taken the zinc and vitamin C therapy tablets, the cold would have probably lasted for at least a week. It also could have developed into something far more serious. If I had visited a doctor for advice, I would have probably been prescribed costly medication to dry up and/or loosen the mucous and clear my sinuses. They would not work to stop the cold. Medications only help to alleviate symptoms.

Drug manufacturers would have people believe that a cure for the common cold does not exist. After all, if they admitted that zinc and vitamin c therapy is a cure, drug manufacturers would lose billions of dollars. People would stop buying overpriced cough and upper respiratory medications. Doctors and hospitals would lose business if people kept zinc and vitamin C therapy products on hand at all times. A multimillion dollar industry with many branches would take a tremendous hit.

Homeopathic Medication is the Key

Homeopathic medicine is the key to curing and controlling countless illnesses and diseases. Certain vitamins, minerals and other natural substances can stop symptoms and cure health problems from the common cold to certain types of cancer, and more are in the process of being discovered each and every day. Healthcare is big business, and professionals in every facet of the industry do not typically endorse or recommend natural products – even if they work.
