Going back to the airborne- it is actually a derivative from a Chinese formulation known as Yin Chiao Chieh Tu Pien(YC). The formualtion itself is used in pulmonary patient care and was helpful in SARS cases in 2003. Recently in 2007 it was shown to positively modify induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in rats (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17177325?log$=activity), which may be useful in H1N1 cases which PF is increased. As far as for colds most of the data was published in the late 50’s regarding clinical significance of YC. Most likely through meta-analysis or epidemiological studies than clinical trials. So for me I take airborne because of that. Do I chalk it up to placebo? No- not really. Is it going to cure your cold? No- but it will help your immune system to what it was designed to better than phenylephrine will

How can you list advertisement fails without mentioning AcipHex? Try pronouncing it…yep, that is the way it is spoken during the commercials. How can anyone take the product seriously?

Excuse me, but as a registered physician I find this information about airborne most troubling. Most troubling indeed…

In fact I have recommended airborne to my patients for a number of years (including this one).

Here is an article I have written chronicling my journey to airborne and jesus:

Dermitage is something that will take some time but still it’ll take days to remove wrinkles and not just 1 or 2 mins.and Headon is something they were not quite clear about what they wanted to make.

No, it’s a moronic point about Airborne never being proven effective, since NO ONE HAS DONE A STUDY ON IT! However, many of the individual ingredients are widely accepted for boosting the immune system.

airborne is essentially emergen-c.
its a good source of vitamins and stuff in a easy to take/bring with you way.
it is just as good as any other vitamin supplement.

i wish i would have bought one of those wild water slide thingies, as long as it didnt say “actual size may differ” any where on the box… i would have taken the company to court for false advertisement.

I’m a fan of Head-On. It doesn’t exactly cure headaches, but it certainly helps with them. For mild headaches, it’s a nice alternative to taking medicines, and for bad ones, it helps get you by until the medicine kicks in.

In Item 4 for the Canned Cheesburger, check your spelling of the word? You said Then for Than. It’s supposed to be Than. But it’s great advice I won’t eat a canned Cheesburger. I like it made right then and there fresh.

I tried HEADON and liked it. It’s like menthol or something. It distracts from your headache, which helps.

@ jimmysmoch Yes Airborne works, as do placebos. In clinical studies placebos have been shown to be effective against, the common cold, flu, vomiting, diarrhea, cancer, herpes outbreaks, obeisity, anxiety, chronic itching, athlete’s foot, and a host of other illnesses. The manufacturers of Airborne lost a class action lawsuit and had to pay 23.3 million dollars for making false claims about its effectiveness.

By the way, I have shark repellent spray I use on my body every time I go in the ocean. (I live by the beach in Santa Monica.) It totally works! I have been in the ocean hundreds of times and have never been bitten by a shark.

Would you like to buy some? I’ll give you a good deal.

I tried airborn, it gave me diarrhea. 6 months later I had a cold and forgot that it gave me diarrhea and took it again. I had diarrhea again. I will never forget.

Don’t you just hate it when your new pool burns your house down and probably kills your family and pets.

Actually.. it’s pretty funny when bad stuff happens to other people. Because they’re not me.

I actually tried HeadOn a long time ago. It do work by getting cold when exposed to air, and when you get a headache something cool on your forehead might help… a little.

For Dermitage I can only say that I do know of a product that can change you looks from the right side to the left side image… its called photoshop. (I know several first had examples where it has worked great wonders.)
