P.P.-
You said:
Heroin has cured many colds....period.
Come on are you serious?
In my mind that statement is absurd. Like stating the earth is FLAT, and truely believing it. Opiates kill pain. There is absolutely nothing about any opiate, heroin or otherwise, that suggests they "kill", or affect in anyway, any of the 200 viruses that cause colds. Opiates affect the way you percieve the symptoms.
Dig it:
"There is no treatment for the common cold other than that aimed at relieving symptoms and keeping the body well-rested, -fed, and -hydrated. Because of the growing problem of drug resistance, doctors are being discouraged from prescribing antibiotics (which do not affect viruses) for colds unless secondary bacterial infection makes them necessary. There is no convincing evidence that vitamin C megadoses can prevent the common cold."

As I stated above, heroin may lessen or mask the symptoms of a cold but it does not cure a cold. Believe what you will but it is a hard scientific fact....You may as well believe in unicorns as well.
