Thrifty Sickness.

 
 I can't really figure out any better way to overcome a cold except to do the following:
-drink non-drying beverage
-use singularly effective over-the-counter meds, not the cocktail ones
-Vitamin C
-humidifier
-saltwater gargle
-SLEEP
-SLEEP
-SLEEP

Do you have any truly effective methods for combating illness?  Do you feel alternative remedies work?  And antibacterial gel, etc?  I'm interested....
