Since I am presently taking 150 mg of Norpace CR, once daily, I was warned by my cardio not to take any over-the-counter cold meds. Any suggestions for minor sore throat/congestion?? blessings, MLM https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,308,308#msg-308 Sat, 24 Oct 2026 07:57:48 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,308,377#msg-377 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,308,377#msg-377
At the first sign of a cold I take garlic too. Seemingly it has lots of antibiotic properties. I don';t know if this works better but I learned that you could smash the garlic open, leave it a few minutes to activate the alicin and then swallow it whole. The smell doesn't come back??? I also munch on thyme from the garden - another great antibiotic. I haven't had a full blown cold for two years now...... Maybe I shouldn't speak so soon. Flu season is coming round again....

Take the echinacea every two hours for the first 24 and then three times a day. If I take echinacea when I first notice cold or sore throat symptoms, sometimes I avoid getting sick at all. But if I do contract the cold, I recover very quickly and the symptoms remain very modest.

The person from whom I caught this cold (a classmate) had been suffering for more than a week before I caught it from her. She is still miserable and I have had the cold and recovered.

Regarding magnesium glycinate, I use a product called KAL Magnesium Glycinate 400. I get it at my local health food store. If you type the name into your web search engine (Google) you will very likely come up with somewhere to buy it on the 'net.]]> Michael in San Fran AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 14 Oct 2003 11:33:58 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,308,323#msg-323 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,308,323#msg-323 For congestion I put 8-10 drops of tobasco sauce (red pepper sauce) in a little warm water and slug it down, it work the same way as when your peel onions it makes your eyes water except it makes your sinuses water instead.

For cough I buy a cough syrup called Drosetux made by Dolisos it's a homeopathic remedy and does not contain alcohol or interfere with any meds.
Hope this helps.

Right when i was admitted a year ago with Afibs i was also suffering abdly from flu symptoms very bad cough. The sister there told me and she also gave it to me that Simple Cough/cold medicine is safer than all the other ones and it is the cheapest to buy over the counter. Some Thorat/cough sweets are safe to have but ask the pharmasist which is ok, i had no problems with it. you can also just have normal boiled sweets to keep throat moist.

Have you tried the Health shops for Mag. normally have a good selection of them without any added other ingredients. Places like Holland and Barrett, they have special offers every week as well. i don't know what country you are in but i do know there are other health shops around. If not have you done a search on the net for Alternatives that sell online.

I hope you are feeling better soon i sympathsize.

Healing thoughts for you
