I am constantly trying to find solutions to prevent colds and flu's and recently I’ve found this new product. Its an elderberry syrup called Sambucol, which I found in boots. I’ve tried it and my cold was gone instantly. Has anyone else used it?

I am sceptical of medicines, weird coming from a pharmacologist, but a big believer in the placebo effect so I'm sure it worked wonders for your cold.

I'm a bit sadistic in that I prefer to suffer through a cold, a chesty cough is great in making your supervisor think you will come in to uni even when you're at death's door and as such must be a great hard working student.

No, but I am now convinced that stress is the biggest trigger of a cold or flu attack. Try to keep cool

I Like your style Katq

Yeah I agree dont get stressed out...look after yourself. Drink plenty of fluids and take supplements to boost your immune system :)
