So I'm no longer sick, and it took all of one full week to recover without the aid of a doctor.  Hot tea, Progresso soup cans, and home made chicken noodle soup for the win.  Unfortunately all the salt content has left me feeling like having a heart attack at my age, just to get it over with.  Not that I'm a health nut, but  it seems that massive amounts of salt are key to getting better when you have either a severe cold or the flu.  So its portrayed in Campbells soup cans "Mm Mmm Good" .




250 mgs of salt per SERVING of soup.  (Note one serving equals approximately one cup).

All in all, I suppose this little can of joy should serves as a mainstay if you're ever ill. But combined with honey lemon tea and butt-loads of rest and relaxation with First Person Shooters, this can marks the beginning of a miracle in modern day science, with Salt-Treatment for severe cold/flu.
