I give both to anyone immediately upon cold symptoms and it is amazing how quickly it will shut it down!

So all our friends that brag that they never get sick might not be as fortunate as those of us that battle a bug or two every year!<BR/><BR/>It may be related to the new claim that having too clean a childhood can lead to health problems.<BR/><BR/>As Mama db said "chicken soup".
