    Your hubby could also do what I do. Large dose of vitamin C several times a day. He will have to watch the absorption factor. It can take a day or so to find out the proper dose.

    Basically, he would take 3 to 4 thousand mg's of C. Wait several hours to see if his body is using it or passes it. It might give him diarrhea if he takes to much. If that happens back off 1 thousand mg's. In essence you are loading your body with C and your body will use as much as it needs and get rid of the rest. Works like a charm, but he is probably best to start off with 2K mg's several times a day and work from there. If after 1 day he is OK then add 1K mg's to each dose and go another day. It will help his body get rid of any virus that he may have in no time.

    nyquil PM has 10% alcohol. nyquil PM is supposed to be used when one goes to sleep. if used properly (correct dosage and at bedtime), given an 8 or 10 hour sleep period, the alcohol should dissipate. one would certainly not want to be taking a PM medicine and be driving...that seems to be common sense.......but then i suppose some truckers don't have much of that these days either.
