   First off,
   Nowhere in that article does it claim that airborne is worthless. Airborne made the mistake of making too many claims without any evidence, and apparently many false claims. Saying that it doesn’t hep you fight colds or flu is bullshit. It contains a blend of vitamins and minerals, enzymes and herbal extracts that have for centuries been known to aid the immune system. The true problem behind this, is that we live in the age of anti-biotics so people no longer have an immune system. The only solution for this generation of weak immune systems… is more antibiotics.

   Overall, publicly dissing on a popular ‘natural remedy’ is to further the support of the public for money-hungry pharmaceutical corporations and the ban of natural remedies.

   Just as ‘Airborne’ made too many claims to early, you in this article also jumped on the ‘down with alternative medicine’ bandwagon a little blindly. Besides, anyone who thinks that an over-the-counter supplement is going to cure them of something, deserves to be taught a lesson. They fall in the same category as people who buy pieces of toast that look like jesus

   I don’t know. I work in this germ factory and I pop Airborne on the regular and I haven’t gotten sick in a while. I don’t know if that means it works or not, but all that vitamin C, given my whiskey-based lifestyle, can’t be a bad thing.

   It’s a multi-vitamin, only way more expensive. Sure it has a lot of vitamin C, but you can buy gigantic bottle of that for a fraction of the price of what you will pay for Airborne. I take natural remedies too, like General Wellness–I have no problem with them.

   Yeh, it costs way too much for what it is. Deceptive marketing is the corporate way. It happens everyday, by much larger corporations, and for much more serious issues/crimes against humanity. The case against Airborne, is just another ‘OMG Janet Jackson’s Tit’ media distraction, that is bound to piss people off and control their point of view.
