HOW
HOW THIS
HOW THIS IS GOING TO MESS UP YOUR COMMUTE SO GO JOIN THE
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. WE ARE GOING TO KICK IT OVER TO
KACI.
KACI.
KACI. >>>
KACI. >>> WITH THE HIVE WE ARE ALL
ABOUT CONNECTING YOU WITH THE
ANSWERS YOU NEED.
LAST WEEK YOU MIGHT REMEMBER WE
POSTED ABOUT FLU SEASON AND
COLD SEASON AND WHAT WERE SOME
OF YOUR HOME REMEDIES.
50 COMMENTS AND THAT DOESN'T
EVEN INCLUDE ALL OF THE
COMMENTS TO THE COMMENTS AND
THESE ARE ALL GREAT
SUGGESTIONS, BUT WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING
PEOPLE THE CORRECT ADVICE.
WE ARE BRINGING DOCTOR
ELIZABETH MEAD BACK IN.
DOCTOR MEAD, DID YOU GET A GOOD
LAUGH WHEN I SENT YOU SOME OF
THESE?
THESE?
THESE? >>
THESE? >> I LOVE SOME OF THESE.
AND SOME OTHER ONES THAT YOU
WOULDN'T EXPECT TO WORK KIND OF
DO AND SOME OF THE ONES THAT
SOME LIKE THEY SHOULD DON'T
WORK AT ALL.
>> YOU SAID SOME OF YOUR
RESPONSES ALREADY AND A LOT OF
THEM LIKE YOU SAID HAVE
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS. THE FIRST ONE, SO MANY PEOPLE
SAID THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS
DRINK ORANGE JUICE, THEY TAKE
VITAMIN C, THEY TAKE ZINC AND
AND SABRINA EVEN MENTIONED A
COLD MIST HUMIDIFIER.
>> A MIXED RESPONSE TO THOSE.
THERE IS BEEN SO MUCH ABOUT
VITAMIN C. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT
HASN'T TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE.
WE'VE DONE TONS OF STUDIES
ABOUT THIS.
ABOUT THIS. VITAMIN C IS NOT REALLY ANY
DIFFERENT THAN PLACEBO, BUT
THINK MAY ACTUALLY BE HELPFUL.
IF YOU TAKE ZINC RIGHT AT THE
START OF A COLD IT MAY SHORT
YOUR DURATION BY BUT A DAY
WHICH FOR SOME PEOPLE COULD BE
A BIG DEAL.
IT CAN MAKE A LITTLE BIT
NAUSEOUS SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
AND THEN THE COOL MIST
HUMIDIFIER IS A GREAT IDEA.
THAT CAN REALLY HELP LOOSEN
THINGS UP AND KEEP YOU HYDRATED
AND COLD WATER IS REALLY ALL
YOU NEED IN THERE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT NIGHT WHEN YOU
ARE SLEEPING?
ARE SLEEPING? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WAS
ANOTHER ONE A LOT OF PEOPLE
SWEAR BY IN ADDITION TO APPLE
CIDER VINEGAR INSIDE A RECIPE
FOR FIRE WATER.
>> I HAD TO GOOGLE THIS ONE.
>> SEE, EVEN DOCTORS GOOGLE.
>> I THINK APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
HAS BEEN TOUTED AS THE CURE-ALL
FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND DIGESTION
AND COLDS AND SOME OF THAT IS
PROBABLY NOT TRUE BUT IN THIS
PARTICULAR RECIPE PEOPLE WERE
TALKING ABOUT MIXING IT WITH
HOT WATER AND SOME SPICY
PEPPERS AND GINGER AND HONEY
AND PROBABLY SOME OF THOSE DO
HAVE AN EFFECT SO CERTAINLY
EATING SPICY FOODS CAN HELP
DRAIN US OUT AS GROSS AS THAT
SOUNDS AND YOU CAN JUST ASK AND
GINGER DOES HAVE ANTIVIRAL
PROPERTIES AS WELL IS GARLIC
AND ONIONS AND HONEY IS SUPER
SOOTHING FOR ANYBODY OVER A
YEAR OLD.
YEAR OLD.
YEAR OLD. THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS IN
THERE THAT COULD BE HELPFUL
MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
DIDN'T SOUND LIKE SOMETHING I
WOULD WANT TO DRINK, BUT MORE
POWER TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO
ENJOY IT.
ENJOY IT.
ENJOY IT. >> WHAT ABOUT PRODUCT LIKE
AIRBORNE?
AIRBORNE?
AIRBORNE? >> THEY DON'T REALLY WORK.
THEY MAKE A TON OF MONEY, THOSE
COMPANIES HAVE DONE REALLY WELL
BUT THEY DON'T REALLY DO MUCH.
ALL OF THOSE ARE JUST HIGH-DOSE
VITAMIN C, BUT WHAT I WAS SAY
IS THERE IS A PLACEBO EFFECT.
IF YOU TAKE SOMETHING AND YOU
FEEL BETTER, EVEN IF A
SCIENTIFICALLY BASED OR NOT, IF
YOU JUST FEEL BETTER BECAUSE
YOU TOOK IT, WHO CARES?>> THAT
BRINGS ME TO MY FINAL QUESTION
BEFORE WE GET TO YOUR TEXTS.
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, I ALWAYS DO
CHICKEN PHO YES OR NO?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THERE ARE DEFINITELY POSITIVE
SCIENTIFIC PROVEN METHODS TO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>
THAT. >> HOT WATER AND HONEY, WHAT IF
THERE'S WHISKEY IN THERE?
A HOT TODDY IS JUST A LITTLE
BIT OF WHISKEY AND THEN HOT
WATER, LEMON AND HONEY.
>> A MIXED REVIEW ON THIS ONE.
THE HOT WATER AND LEMON AND
HONEY IS ALL GREAT, WE WOULD
TYPICALLY SAY DON'T DRINK
ALCOHOL WHEN YOU'RE SICK
BECAUSE IT CAN DEHYDRATE YOU
AND MAKE YOU FULL WORSE, BUT IF
IT MAKES YOU HAPPY OR SICK
PERSON FOR THE NIGHT AND YOU
WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
WHISKEY IN THERE, I SAY YOU'VE
GOT TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.>>
LET'S GET TO SOME TEXT MESSAGES
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
COMMENTING WITH WHAT WORKS FOR
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. THIS ONE SAYS EVERY 3 TO 4
HOURS TAKE ONE DROPPER FULL OF
ECHINACEA WITH GOLDENSEAL?
>> THERE ARE SOME HERBAL
REMEDIES THAT HAVE BEEN STUDIED
QUITE A BIT.
ECHINACEA IS ONE OF THEM.
I THINK IT'S HARD TO RECOMMEND,
SOME STUDIES SAY IT MAY HELP
SHORTEN THE DURATION OF THE
COLDER HELP WITH SYMPTOMS AND
SOME STUDIES IT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE, AS LONG AS YOU
ARE TAKING IT IN AMOUNTS THAT
ARE NOT DANGEROUS AND YOU DON'T
HAVE COMPLICATIONS IT'S OKAY TO
TRY.
TRY.
TRY. >>
TRY. >> WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE TEXT
MESSAGES.
MESSAGES.
MESSAGES. LEMON WATER, IBUPROFEN AND
GREEN TEA EXTRACT, WORKS
WONDERS.
WONDERS.
WONDERS. FOR A STUBBORN COLD AT A SHOT
OF TEQUILA EVERY EIGHT HOURS.
>> I'M NOTICING A THEME HERE.
I THINK THE FIRST HALF,
IBUPROFEN AND ANTI-FEVER
MEDICATIONS CAN BE HELPFUL AND
ANY HOT LIQUID IS GOING TO HELP
SOOTH YOUR THROAT AND HE CAN
JUST YOU AS WELL AND LEMON AND
HONEY ARE GREAT.
>> TEQUILA?
>> TEQUILA? >> I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT IF
YOU ARE SICK BECAUSE IT DOES
DRY YOU OUT MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE
SOMETIMES.
SOMETIMES. THAT IS MY DOCTOR ANSWER.
>> ONE LAST TEXT, THE BEST
REMEDY IS STILL A MUSTARD
POULTICE OR ENGINE ONION
POULTICE?
POULTICE?
POULTICE? >> DID JORDAN WRITE THIS ONE?
>> WE GET ANOTHER ONE THAT SAYS
SLEEPING WITH THICK SLICES OF
ONION ON YOUR FEET WILL DRAW
OUT IMPURITIES AND HELP YOUR
BODY RECOVER.
BODY RECOVER. >> IT WILL MAKE YOU HAVE A
STINKY BEDROOM.
STINKY BEDROOM. >> WHAT IS A TURN BLACK? THEY
SAY IT TURNS BROWN OR BLACK AND
THAT INDICATES IT SUCKING THE
TOXINS.
TOXINS.
TOXINS. SPENT THERE'S OXIDIZATION THAT
HAPPENS WITH FRUITS OR
VEGETABLES, IT DOESN'T SUCK
ANYTHING OUT OF YOU.
IT MAY DISTRACT YOU FROM YOUR
COLD SYMPTOMS YOU ARE HAVING,
BUT I CAN'T SAY THERE IS ANY
DATA THAT WILL DO ANYTHING FOR
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. >>
YOU. >> I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE YOU
SHARE THE BED WITH SOMEONE.
DOCTOR MADE, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
WE REALLY APPRECIATE
