OT: Airborne/Colds

Hey all!

I've come down with yet again a nasty cold that I am praying doesn't turn into an infection like all of my colds seem to do. I just got over a cold turned infection around Christmas through the new year. My cousin recommended the product Airborne to me today. Since I already have a cold, I figured I would buy some to keep it on hand for the next one, since you are supposed to take this stuff as soon as you feel the symptoms of a cold, and I've had mine for a couple days now. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have tried this cold remedy and how well it worked for you at the onset of a cold. I used the Emergen-C packets (Sooz, I found some!), and took additional Vitamin C and I'm still sick. Thankfully I haven't started running a fever yet, but I am on a decongestant (which makes me *so* thirsty!). That multi-symptom stuff makes me feel too whacked out, so I'm just sticking to one thing. I, like everyone else hates colds, and am hoping that this Airborne stuff works. Any opinions on this I would appreciate!!! TIA! Oh, and if you want to see what I'm talking about, they have a website:

No, I am not affiliated, just curious as to if this will work. Not to mention I would be a poor advertisment for this stuff with how I feel. ;-) Valerie Website:

My experience has been that if I *regularly* increase my intake of Vitamin C, I get fewer colds to begin with, and the ones I get are much less nasty. The easy way to regularly increase your intake is to drink a couple of glasses of water with lemon juice (about 1 wedge worth, or 1 packet, or 1 - 2 tsps) every day. This also increases your water intake, which (except under certain specific medical circumstances) is another Good Thing.

Personally, I *prefer* water with a little lemon in it. Gives it some flavor.

I have never heard of Airborne, but Sooz I recommend hand washing regularly too.. Makes a huge difference in my book and eat healthy.. Avoid junk food like the plague..

After 367 days without a sinus infection or a cold, I got one. My sister and mom finally succombed and I am getting better ... I also did not get ny other infection. My sister took Zicam and is still sick. The main ingredient is zinc. What is the Airborne ? I began taking extra supplements, the kind I normally do, just more and I am better. I know that included extra zinc. I am still sick. just not rotten sick like this past Sunday. The Zicam worked for my sister once before, but she is sick tody and is probably going to have to run this out .... What's in the Airborne ? Rainbow

I just read what Celine said ... I have been drinking lemon water for the past year. I also put lime in it. Could we be on to something ? Rainbow

I too am obsessive about hand washing, and use hand sanitizer (have some in my purse), and nobody I know is sick. I have no idea how I got this cold. The only thing I can think of is maybe someone sneezed or coughed on me in a store and I didn't realize it. Who knows.

I take Vitamin C and b12 on a daily basis, I guess this was just a virulent cold to get through my barriers. I've upped my dosage, and I seem to be at the same plateau I was the second day of sickness. No better, no worse.

Thanks Sooz! I hope I do soon!

it lists all the ingredients in it. All of it seems pretty mild, which is why I was wondering if anyone used it.

Right! Of that I am happy about! I could be worse off.

Good point! I didn't think of that. Thanks Sooz!
