I'm not completely dismissing you, thanks for the info on the "lab" and the "study", I will look further into those. Please note, this is something you may want to change in this article. In the 2nd paragraph, you accuse the reader of being too stupid to understand scientific studies and then in the article you accuse the airborne people of assuming the same. If you want them to look bad you may not want to agree with them on this.Raggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900662265077817840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14442178.post-48551654786068008162013-06-10T07:08:09.669-07:002013-06-10T07:08:09.669-07:00Probably because scientists have invented their ow...Probably because scientists have invented their own dangerious quackery.Tanzania Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105626736296110299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14442178.post-27055021225701669712013-04-05T07:59:20.070-07:002013-04-05T07:59:20.070-07:00A few years back I came down with some sort of bac...A few years back I came down with some sort of bacterial infection and the doctor wrote a script for Azithromycin.

I don't care who made or created Airborne. I have been taking vitamins all my life and have been a distributer with one of the world's largest herbal companies. I have NEVER taken anything that actually prevented a cold consistently time after time like Airborne does. In the past if I ever got to the point of a sore throat I was doomed to have a cold lasting 2 weeks. I have been using Airborne (for a couple of years) at the first sign of a sore throat 3 times a day for 2 or 3 days and the sore throat and any other cold symptoms are gone!

It is very easy for your kidneys to remove it. You will remove essentially all the Vitamin C you don't need in a day which is why it's effects on colds is so uncertain. It doesn't stay around long enough to do that much.<BR/><BR/>Vitamin A is VERY different. It is a long chain fatty acid which is NOT water soluble. The kidneys have a very difficult time excreting it. It is only removed effectivly by the liver and therefore high concentrations can hurt that organ.<BR/><BR/>This is why the RDA for vitamin C is 125 mg while the RDA for vitamin A is 800 Micrograms. In other words, you need 140 times more Vitamin C than Vitamin A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14442178.post-13909783137262515412007-12-07T15:59:00.000-08:002007-12-07T15:59:00.000-08:00I've always told my wife the Airborne claims were ...I've always told my wife the Airborne claims were ridiculous.
