Does anybody know of any? Got a belter of one I am trying to shift and miss the placebo effect of all the crap you can get from UK chemists.

Snip is good, and better than Sudafed

Surely a vasectomy is a bit extreme?

My Cypriot friends swear by, rubbing Zivania over your chest and back when not feeling well, tried this a couple of times when I had the flu, wife rubbed it on my back and chest, I had a couple of shots of it too, Went to bed sweated like a Pig, but I kid you not, it did the trick, they also rub it into their joints when they have pain, try it nothing to lose

I use Snips, excellent remedy but doesn't work for everyone.

Use Asprin plus C - not the usual Aspirin, unfortunately not many pharmacies sell it, get it from Pissouri,
and Propolis

Mine might not shift a cold, but you won't have to worry about it

There's a danger it might be progressing to full on man flu.
