The Middle Distance

love your icon! :)

Airborne works for me--that's my standard disclaimer. i managed not to get the horrible sick of doom (including strep) that was going round Columbia last spring, even though my immune system was already strained by an abcess and periodontitis. i suppose it could be because i was stubborn--or actually did get sick but didn't notice in the context of all the other crap--but i do know that i took Airborne at the first sign of minor throat pain, kept pounding it for four days (went through like three tubes), and had one swollen throat gland but no fever and nothing worse than that. people were dropping around me and i still managed to stay on my feet.

i suppose it's no better than echinacea, but it does force me to keep hydrated, as it dissolves in water and goes all fizzy.
