With nearly 45 million people across the country currently suffering from the common cold, flu or related respiratory symptoms, individuals need all of the ammunition they can get their hands on to fight the good fight. But, did you know that nearly 33 million of those people are currently suffering from the common cold or of related complications of the respiratory system-not the flu.

With this in mind, consumers need cold relief now. Unlike other cold remedies not yet available, including Pleconaril, COLD-EEZE(R) can help shorten the lifecycle of a cold today. (*Individuals suffering from fever or nausea accompanied by respiratory symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.)

In order to completely manage cold symptoms-including a nagging cough, an aching sore throat, dripping nose and runny eyes-and minimize the transmission to others, the makers of COLD-EEZE(R) brand cold remedies have come up with "Ten Easy Tips To Fight The Cold War & Win":

1.) ZIP LIPS
Colds, much like the flu, are an infectious disease, and sneezing is a prime source of transmission. Avoid passing colds to others by remembering mom's old adage ... "Cover your mouth when sneezing."

2.) WASH UP
Hands are also a leading cause for spreading colds. To kill harmful viruses, wash hands frequently and thoroughly with an antibacterial soap or skin cleanser.

3.) THINK ZINC!
But, not all zincs are created equal. COLD-EEZE(R) with ZIGG(TM) is the only clinically-proven zinc cold remedy that actually reduces the duration and severity of the common cold by 42%. For maximum effectiveness, individuals should begin treatment at the first sign of a cold.

4.) DISINFECT SURFACES
You can't see them with the naked eye, but they are there-harboring on surfaces in the home and office. Destroy germs by liberally spraying disinfectants on surfaces such as sinks, counter tops, garbage cans and desks.

5.) BLOW OUT COLDS
Tissues are a fast and easy solution to blow out colds-but once used, they store unwanted germs. So, be sure to dispose of tissues immediately after use.

6.) NOURISH BODY, MIND & SOUL
Despite common myths, be sure to eat a well-balanced diet of fresh foods including mom's chicken soup, drink plenty of liquids and take a multi-vitamin daily. Also, avoid sharing food or eating utensils with others.

7.) KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE
There's no need to be anti-social, but know that colds can also be easily acquired through close and intimate contact with individuals. To play it safe, keep close contact to a minimum.

8.) REPLENISH WITH MOISTURE
Nasal passages are more vulnerable to cold viruses. To help decrease chapped and tender skin around the nose and mouth, infuse moisture into the air with a humidifier or vase of fresh flowers. Also, retain additional moisture in skin by using a moisturizing soap and all-over-body cream.

9.) FRESHEN LINENS
Is cleanliness really next to godliness? Well, in this case it is. Germs can also linger where you sleep, bath and eat. To wipe out these culprits, clean and change bed linens and towels frequently.

10.) REST, REST & MORE REST
The body has a miraculous way of healing itself, but it can't do it alone. Restore health by getting plenty of sleep.

This winter survival guide was prepared by The Quigley Corporation -- a natural health and homeopathic drug company-manufacturers of COLD-EEZE(R) and COLD-EEZE(R) bubble gum. COLD-EEZE(R) is the only zinc gluconate glycine (ZIGG(TM)) lozenge proven in two double blind studies to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms by 42%. The Quigley Corporation is also the maker of the BODYMATE(TM) Nutrition & Weight Management Products.
