85 year old cure for the common cold just might work for you

The more ‘medicine advances it seems the less chance we have of ever being ‘cured’. Now the claim; there is no cure for any disease even with the ad of expensive drugs and surgeries. And then there are those that say that there are many ways to heal and cure any disease without dangerous drugs, surgeries or vaccinations. I always helps if you have an open mind to the alternatives (just don’t let your brain fall out in the process. Always maintain your common sense)

However, here’s an interesting one about what Arm and Hammer recommended to treat the common cold more than 85 years ago. This is a quick and safe way to alkalize your system and restore your immune system when it is weak. When your immune system is weak, this is when you are susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Have you ever wondered why some people get sick and others don’t. That’s because the immune systems are different and the weak one is compromised.

In Dr. Mercola’s article he gives the Arm and Hammer cure for the common cold:
Recommended dosages from the Arm & Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:

• Day 1 -- Take six doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals
• Day 2 -- Take four doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals
• Day 3 -- Take two doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter ½ teaspoon in glass of cool water each morning until cold symptoms are gone

It is certainly worth a try. He says it is completely safe, non-toxic and cheap. You probably have a box at home. (It has many helpful and easy household uses also. see link below).

If you feel a possible cold coming on; give this a try. It sure can’t hurt.
