&lt;p&gt;I used to get colds or ear aches ten or more times a year, but I found that if I avoided shaking hands during cold season, and if I put hydrogen peroxide in my ears with cue tips, I had far fewer colds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also use hydrogen peroxide to sanitize my toothbrush before and after brushing my teeth, and as a pre-brush gargle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also discovered that, if I got a cold or ear ache, I could reduce the symptoms of the cold by using a couple of drops of oil of oregano, and colloidal silver, orally. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have also found that Pho, or Viet namese soup with chicken is an excellent food to help deal with cold symptoms. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

I am not sure about the specifics of your cyst problem but I have had cysts in multiple places since a teenager. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes not for years &amp;amp; then they come &amp;amp; go. &amp;nbsp;I have read parasites can bring them on. &amp;nbsp;Maybe so?!?! &amp;nbsp;I think I have decided what seems to bring them on for me, one of several things - excess fats - esp Omega 6, &amp;nbsp;an imbalance of fats - too much Omega 6 &amp;amp; not enough Omega 3, not enough Vit E, if it is near the skin surface try applying natural Vit E oil. &amp;nbsp;take Cod liver oil or Omega 3 tablets, also pray &amp;amp; ask God for a solution, He does care about you, &amp;amp; ask in Jesus name - He is real!!!!!! &amp;nbsp;Most of our problems in life come because we do not turn to God for help. He is our Daddy / Abba!!!&lt;/p&gt;

Max 1 hour of TV per day (no news or violent movies - just comedy). Lots of natural fiber (fruit based). No processed, preserved or canned products. Lots of raw food (no not raw meat, vegetables and fruits ), Omega 3 (like in fish) for your heart. Ground Flax seeds (not oil) also for omega 3. Kefir or some other sort healthy bacteria replenishment (probiotic). Regular Colon flushes (at least once a year) and if you are up to it, regular liver flushes. Lastly, think of your body as a temple, that you would not dare to defile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take at least &amp;quot;all of these&amp;quot; and see an improvement in at a couple of months, a little longer if you have been abusing your body for longer. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thats better advise than your doctor will ever give you :-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good health to all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A huge thank you and hug to Reesacat, for speaking up in the autism post a few days ago, saying she also recognizes the effects of EMFs on her health! &amp;nbsp;In the current climate of ridicule and attacks, it takes real courage to say that. &amp;nbsp;Thank you to Dr. Mercola for his unfailing efforts to find the truth and keep us informed. &amp;nbsp;I catch a cold about once a year, usually due to unavoidable prolonged exposure to EMFs. &amp;nbsp;Then EFT and hydrogen peroxide help. &amp;nbsp;I?ve not taken any cold medicine in years.&lt;/p&gt;

It was the antibiotic (As early as 1939) before antibiotics came to be. It has fallen by the wayside for a couple of reasons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) The paharmaceutical companies can't patent it, and make $1+ a pill like antibiotics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) They along with others pass out false information to scare people away from using it. One is the threat that you will get argyria. (skin turns grey) This has happened to a few people because they use Colloidal Silver that is made with Tap water, or use salt, or other to speed the process up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colloidal Silver has to be made with Distilled water only. No salt or other additives. You can buy it in health stores, but it is expensive, and if you don't know the company, you don't know how they are making it. Best to buy a CS generator such as &amp;nbsp;the Silver Puppy, or similar. &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://tinyurl.com/9v3ul"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/9v3ul&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;Automatically generates Colloidal siver @ about &amp;nbsp;5 to 10PPM's. Some aren't automatic, so be aware.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antibiotics kill maybe 1/2 dozen pathogens, whereas CS kills 650. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://tinyurl.com/3bpcmc"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/3bpcmc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Works well internally as well as externally. I personally have used it against Strep throat, colds and a long standing excema problem. Works well and you can make it for pennies a gallon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What else do you want?&lt;/p&gt;
