Just thinkin....

I take a supplement called Emergen-C. I have heard that it's pretty much the same as Airborne. I like Emergen-C because it costs less that Airborne, and I think it is tastier, and you don't have to wait for it to melt (or whatever.) I have heard so many conflicting sides to these products. Some say that they don't work at all and have a very strong opinion about it. I have been using Emergen-c for about two years, off and on and mostly in the Fall and Winter. I have not had a really bad cold in these two years, I have had 1 mild cold and this Fall I lost my voice but had no other symptoms. I have two kids in school ( the germ factory) and they have brought home some nasty stuff, I did not get any of it. I really feel like the Emergen-C has boosted my immune system, I used to get sick all the time. is it all in my head that it really works? One more thing I always get a flu shot and so does my family (exept my dear hubby who usually won't) We have never had influenza, Just like the Emergen-C/ Airborne I have heard that people really don't think they work, they work for me, what's the deal, am I just lucky? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

You, know, if it works for you, keep doin' it! I told you I think I am going to start taking it after the cruddy fall I had with all the viruses in the world that stopped in to say hello to me!

One thing that folks don't realize about taking vitamins and things like Emergen-C is that when the body has ALL the vitamins and minerals it requires to function, it functions much better. So fighting off infection is much easier for a body that is stocked with all those essential things.

It totally makes sense.

if it seems to work then it does. even if its in your head, if your not sick then you have reached your goal. hey when are we getting together in february?

I have been a proponent of Vitamin C for YEARS! I once went 15 years without a cold or the flu (and no flu shots). I take way more than my body requires, but excess flushes outa the system, so no worries there.
