I have a cold. I am miserable. I ache. I whine. I sniffle. I am taking everything for it — Echinacea under the tongue and 1g time-release Vitamin C and Cold-Eeze lozenges four times daily; gallons of water, OJ, tea and soup; Tylenol and Tiger Balm for the muscle-aches. I am willing to entertain any crackpot remedy, provided that I can either get it delivered or pick it up from the Walgreen’s around the corner. I hate being sick. I’ve already cleaned out my TiVo.
