We will most likely NEVER have a cure for the common cold virus. Viruses are able to mutate and multiply at lightening speed. There are millions of variations. By the time we would come up with a vaccine/cure, the virus would have mutated and multiplied again.

BUT there are ways to strengthen your immune system. Besides the obvious like don't smoke, eat a healthy diet (brightly coloured veggies etc.), maintain a healthy weight, get enough sleep/exercise, etc., you can also add supplements.

Many think Zinc, a multivitamin, antioxidants, Omega 3 EFA's, and Vitamin C can all help strengthen the immune system, just to name a few.

"Cold Medicine" doesn't do anything to attack the virus, it just helps ease your SYMPTOMS.
