First Defence or better to let a cold rip?
Discussion
Lad and his girlfriend had nasty colds last week so assumed I'd get this too - but a couple of things meant I could do without it.
Sure enough, I get the back-throat tickle so I hit the First Defence. Works well - to a degree. Have been wondering around these past few days with what feels like a cold desperate to do its thing but unable to because I'm stopping it. Best way to describe it is like having a hangover but without the pleasure of the beer that caused it.
I've no doubt it will pass but I'm wondering if, for the sake of a couple of days of sniffles, it's better not to suppress a cold.
What do you reckon?

Surely you aren't suppressing the virus, but the symptoms, which are the result of how your body fights the virus, so it will last longer?Sure enough, I get the back-throat tickle so I hit the First Defence.

Take High Quality (food sourced) VitC supplements (3-4x 1000mg - Viridian or similar) and a potent immune booster. It supercharges your immune system to fight the virus.

We do that and it rids of a cold virus in c2 days (and even beat Covid in under 5 days). The body has the best defence, just help it!

The MO is, I believe, that it stops the virus developing by encapsulating it in the nasal canals, so you can eject it.
IME, when I have used it early enough or pre-emptively, I have had either no cold or a lesser one. Not 100% success rate, but good.
