1. ZERO SUGAR, ZERO ALCOHOL.

2. For real, no sugar or alcohol.

3. Vitamin C daily. Routinely I take 5g in the morning. Half and half ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate in lukewarm water.

(The dosage may vary – if you're rushed to the toilet, decrease the dosage next time). If I feel any first symptoms of a cold, I take 5g several times during the day. Usually it's enough to stop the cold from developing.

4. My first symptoms is a slightly sore throat. If my vitamin C is not enough, I gargle with sage infusion. Sage is crazy effective.

5. Read the 1. again.

The above method stops the virus from spreading in my system. I don't suffer from colds. The last time I had a fever or a cough. was during the covid years, because I missed the point 1. Nowadays I'm not affected by the cold/flu season at all.
