- Silhouette 8y agoPost hoc ergo propter hoc. Except that taking proper rest and fluids has consistently helped me to get over anything like colds ever since, and as far as I'm aware it is the only common factor that changed other than my age.
- kbutler 8y agoI'm not saying you're wrong, and I agree that the data supports "rest and fluids". But I have relatives that make similar statements about lots of health treatments that are absolutely not supported by the data, and probably just demonstrate variability and placebo effect.
