Secret Inexpensive Tool to Use in Case You Do Come Down With a Cold

Finally, what can you do if you’ve already come down with a cold, or the flu for that matter?

One of the best tricks I ever found for treating colds and flus is simply putting a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ears.

I first learned of this trick years ago. I put it in my newsletter and then removed it as I thought it was an urban legend. But I was shocked and surprised with all the email comments I received providing anecdotal evidence of how effective it was. Seems to work especially well if you do it at the first sign of the cold or flu.

I haven't the slightest idea of how it works, but I can guarantee you two things: it won't hurt you and it only costs a few cents so there is nothing to lose.

That is a good tid-bit to keep handy and does make sense if you think about the connection with sinus and ears.
