Stopped my cold in 1 day (3 of the 9 techniques used fast-acting Vitamin D)

Created July 2017

About once a year I get a cold from my wife after about a week

This time I tried to use all of the ways which I suspected might stop a cold

When having a health problem during the past few decade I try everything
– I call it my shotgun approach


change clothes	eliminate cold viruses
Take 18 mg Zinc every 2 hours	RCT conclusion
Take Sodium ascorbate every 12 hours	Wife switched us from Vitamin C (which might cause GERD problems)
Eat more food	Pause my weight-loss diet
Wash bedclothes	eliminate cold viruses
Use air cleaners in 2 rooms	eliminate cold viruses – they have hepa filters, UV, and ionization eliminate cold viruses The three types we use Sost $50 - $130 on Amazon
2 sun naps	Feel benefit of Vitamin D in hours instead of days
Topical Vitamin D	Feel benefit of Vitamin D in hours instead of days Cream - commerical or make it yourself
Vitamin D mouthwash	Feel benefit of Vitamin D in hours instead of days Just dissolve a capsule of vitamin D in about 1/4 teaspoon of water Use as mouthwash for 5 minutes, then swallow

This combination worked for me.

6 of the techniques have been proven by RCT to stop/prevent colds

I probably only needed a subset

Interestingly, her cold stopped too.

She had taken a 50,000 IU capsule of vitamin D - not fast acting
in addition to washing bedclothes, air filters, etc.
