Note: While I normally do not publish product recommendations, this is a good one. Cold-fx is a specific extract of a component of American Ginseng. It's safe and seems to be highly effective at preventing and reducing the occurance and severity of colds and flu. Considering the upcoming possible risk of avian flu, and the very real risk of "normal" strains of influenza, this might be a very good product to take for the next few months.
The results of a new study to be published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal show that COLD-fX?, an anti-flu, anti-cold pill, reduced the incidence and frequency of recurrent colds by more than half. It also cut the duration of colds and significantly reduced their severity.
