I have tried this, and they *do* appear to work. Any data or studies on how effective they are? And what about zinc supplements, such as Zicam. I have tried this, and they *do* appear to work.

They had some fella from the Linus Pauling Instittute talking about Paulings claims about Vit C. As far as the presumbaly db studies they'd done they concluded if i recall as a preventative it was all gibberish and when you had the cold vast doses helped the cold go more quickly by..wait for it...10 whole per cent ! So it shows you that a double Nobel laureate(only personage to have that honour cos neither wuz shared) is just as stupid at seeing things where there nuthin as the rest of us bods. Incidentally had he used a 'could this have been acquired in a diet on the plains of Afrique ' rationale he might not have come up with it ! All good things Sir. Sinc. Simon (Fellows) Sir when back in Blighty either last Winter or Winter afore i saw a docu on scientific myths.

I think they can be useful in certain situations, but proper care of yourself in the first place is the best defense.

Great post, I agree that we have the ability to boost our own immune system.

Just last night I went to my hairstylist for a trim and she always compliments me that as long as my hair is it's so healthy. She can tell I eat right and take great vitamins because she says the health of my hair is in great condition. Same thing with one's health, if you take good care of yourself, you're body will be in great condition to NOT catch a winter cold!!!
