Airborne: Class Action Lawsuit
Link:
Ages:
General Interest
By:Kristen H.

Airborne, the herbal supplement created by a teacher to prevent colds, is in trouble for false advertising.  There is no credible evidence that Airborne can fight off colds and boost the immune system.  A nutritionist quoted in the article says, "Airborne is...(a) run of the mill vitamin pill."  Read more by clicking the link above at CNN Money.

Sorry- my Mac will not let me insert links.

Yet, what about the natural remedies that are used to treat things like mental health issues (depression+St. John's Wort)(homiopathic remedies)? Could it be that through the use of the supplement as a supplement it help increase the immune system's ability to fight off illness? The chemicals contained in chicken soup just may positively affect the immune system. Just a thought. For more information about health and wellness go to my site at http://www.letigrefitness.com.

All of those over the counter remedies are a scam. Studies have shown that the only thing that can cure a cold is time. It is truly a remarkable virus. The average cold will last anywhere from 7-10 days. Even the old school remedies like your grandmother's chicken soup offer little more than comfort (the salt and warmth will make your scratchy throat feel better). If you do take products such as Airborne, please be careful. They fall under the classification of diet supplements and are thus able to bypass FDA testing
