Hi all :) This is not any general talk about illness and stuffs like that. My friend has suddenly got ill. Again the weather played it's part. It's nothing more but cold and cough. I know that's too much irritating as i have it often.. Isn't there a permanent cure for such illness? Most of the major diseases can be avoided if smaller illness or diseases can be controlled and stopped. Because, when we get ill, our body becomes vulnerable to other diseases as well. I hope my friend will soon get well. Happy posting!

my teacher used to say that one gets ill if he wants to. one knows about his body's immunity so he should take care properly as we say prevention is better than cure. i fell prey to cough and cold frequently so i met a specialist and he told me that i had some nasal problem so i now have to take a medicene daily. mucous jams into my forehead and gives me a sever headache if i stop taking it.

The way to keep healthy from colds, cough or flu I believe is to: #1. always wash your hands after using the bathroom.#2. Eat plenty of garlic in your diet. #3. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. #4. Eat alot of spicy foods if you can or like spicy. #5. Don't touch things outside that other people have touched, like railings, doornobs, door handles unless you are wearing gloves.#6. Take vitamins to boost your immune system.#7. Try to walk as much as possible, I believe walking is the best exercise. I follow this regimen everyday and that is why I believe the I haven't gotten sick in a long time. The last time I was sick was with a sinus infection which was back in October of 2011. Thank God!

Sadly there isn't any permanent cure for common colds. Found was getting less sick when started taking vitamin B-12. It helps with stress as well. A health advisor said if there was one vitamin we should all be taking it would be magnesium because it helps separate the good things in our foods from the bad things. It helps our bodies absorb the good things in our foods better. Hope your friend feels better soon. it is hard to stay healthy in general when there is a lot of sickness in the air around us.

no, sadly there's no permanent cure for that you just have to boost your immune system by drinking your vitamins, and take good care of yourself. Hope you get well soon.

I understand your problem and the solution i'm gonna suggest you is that to prevent the disease before getting it attack you. So, you have to follow some useful measures to avoid falling ill like drinking green tea with tulsi leave and having a regular yoga exercises. hope that will help...

I don't think there is a permanent cure to avoid coughs and colds, but we can definitely prevent contracting them. All we have to do is make sure that we have a string immune system. Natural foods, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and juices help boost up our immunity so we are not that vulnerable to viruses.

Yeah true. But the hygienic conditions matter too. If the surrounding is not hygienic we are much more vulnerable.
