I’m sorry, but the first

I’m sorry, but the first thought I had when I saw this was utter disgust, not at the makers of Airborne, but at the cheesy litigious jerks that jump at the chance to sue anyone they can with class-action lawsuits… Regardless of the foolish advertising mistakes initially made by the company representing this product, and the litigious nature of those who desire to "cash in" on the lawsuit just to get $30.00 for six packs which they can’t even prove they purchased, the reasons and methods behind why the teacher Victoria Knight originally created it were sound. She, like many others, enjoy the idea of taking a more holistic approach to fighting things like the common cold and other such sickness... I honestly don't recall the packaging ever saying it actually cured the common cold, and had I seen that, I would have laughed! NOTHING known currently "cures" the common cold, and people stupid enough to believe that there is deserve to be laughed at as well! From the very beginning of me using the product, I had heard MANY good things from others who had been using it concerning how well it seemed to help them fight off simple stuff like colds and flu, and having used it for several years, JUST for that purpose, I can absolutely say that it has always seemed to work quite well for me. Not because it "cures" a damn thing, but because the mixture of vitamins and herbs it is made of seems to help my body in its fight AGAINST such things. It HAS been FDA approved as a dietary supplement (otherwise it wouldn't be on the shelf to begin with), and that's just fine for me. Personally, I hope the company continues to offer it, because I'll absolutely continue buying it...whether or not it’s "proven" by science to help in any way... We already know that vitamin C helps the body fight off illness; Airborne has that. And the mixture of herbs it contains, developed by a woman who has STUDIED herbal remedies and their current applications, have been used to help fight illness for decades if not centuries. Folks, we've got to remember that pharmacies who'd rather push FAR more expensive prescription and over-the-counter drugs would GLADLY see these somewhat more holistic (and comparatively remedies go straight down the tube, whether they work or not! I have no doubt that such thoughts and motivations are behind this lame litigious move. It’s a shame that so many dolts are jumping on the “let’s sue somebody for a quick buck” bandwagon. I have less respect for that than some marketing idiot making the foolish mistake of claiming a product cures the common cold when it merely helps the body fight it off…
