Airborne!

I've never heard of this product, but that sure as hell wouldn't convince me to buy it. Most of my school teachers didn't know much beyond what was in their textbooks.

I always thought it was in the same category as HeadON or whatever the forehead headache thing was.

yeah, its homeopathy.

thing is, and im not going by the link because we went over this very product in my business class in january, that they claimed testing proved this and that...but the testing was basically done by her husband and another guy who started a company just to do the testing, or something like that....im too lazy to look it up, but not to lazy to spout off things about it 😉

I always thought that advertising that your product was developed by a school teacher was a stupid way of marketing, but looks like they lost a class action settlement about how they represented themselves. You can get PAID!

Here you go : http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCa...tory?id=1664514&page=1

Airborne said that a double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted with "care and professionalism" by a company specializing in clinical trial management, GNG Pharmaceutical Services.

GNG is actually a two-man operation started up just to do the Airborne study. There was no clinic, no scientists and no doctors. The man who ran things said he had lots of clinical trial experience. He added that he had a degree from Indiana University, but the school says he never graduated.

My mother in law does too - but her belief in it seems to help, so I don't speak up.
 
It doesn't require anyone to be a healthcare professional to know that this is a scam product.
Just look at the active ingredient on the box...Vitamins.
 
i started using this stuff but never looked at it as a miracle cure thing. just took it for the massive dose of vitamin C. doesnt vitamin C help you with colds and stuff? boost your immune system and what not?

Kind of like NBC's reporting on the DragonSkin body armor. Used the owner of DragonSkin to run the test vs the armor the military was using instead of an independent source. Owner ran tests that favored the DragonSkin armor while ignoring the tests where DragonSkin failed and didn't properly equip the military armor.

Back to the OP, my wife bought this stuff a couple of time. I didn't notice any benefit for me or the kids and it just tasted nasty. Would rather stick to my vitamins.

"There are some concerns. First, there is no conclusive evidence that this product or any of its ingredients prevents colds or shortens their duration. Second, the adult tablet contains 1 g of vitamin C, and the directions for use advise taking 1 tablet at the first sign of a cold and repeating the dose every 3 hours as necessary. Vitamin C in doses higher than 1 g increases oxalate and urate excretion and may cause kidney stones (EN Taylor et al, J Am Soc Nephrol 2004; 15:3225). Third, the safety of this herbal extraction combination has not been established. And with herbs and dietary supplements in general, we only have the manufacturers? word on the label for what?s in them."[4]

Um, did anyone notice that you can submit an online claim for reimbursement out of the settlement fund for up to 6 Airborne products at $6.99 a pop....without receipt? $41.94, here I come!
 
If you do not have proof of purchase, you will be entitled to reimbursement for the average retail price of $6.99 per box of Airborne Health Formula, $2.75 per box for Gummi, $10.50 per box of Seasonal, $6.99 per box for the remaining Airborne Products, for up to six Airborne Product packages. If you are submitting a claim for more than six Airborne Product packages, you must provide proof of purchase for any additional purchase over the six package maximum.

my wife bought a crap load of the seasonal....
