You want an immune system that can wrestle thunderstorms? Work in a child care. You're bound to get sick within the first month. Kids are little walking virus bombs, your immune system will cowboy the fuck up and toughen itself to deal with them.

A few things can fuck up your immune system.
Sustained stress.
Lack of exercise.
Lack of food.

So go ask your family members to hug you, eat what you can, drink plenty of fluids, and sleep if off.

What about those drugs you can take "at the first sign of a cold?" obviously too late but for future reference do they work? Or at least lessen the severity?

I think they are placebo effects, and are they really drugs?

There was a guy I worked with, raised in the sticks in the south. His family mainly used herbal treatments and other weird things. He told me that if you ever are sick, to slice an onion into quarters, then cover them in sugar and place in a sealed jar for about half an hour. The sugar will somehow cause the onions to make a juice. At the half an hour point, open the jar and drink the onion juice. He's never been sick for more then a day in his life, and this guy is in his fifties

Yeah, actually. I've used the nose swab ones (i forget what its called) a few times when i've been at my parents place because my mom was pushing them on me hard during some holiday when i was starting to pflegm up, and both times is turned what typically is a 4+ day cold into an overnighter every time.

You know why he is so healthy?

Because his immune system is so fucking strong because he has never taken effective drugs, only placebo.

Even so, don't underestimate the power of placebo. The only problem is getting yourself to believe it'll work.
