This product really works 
2007-07-27
What can cure or knock down the common cold? I was so skeptical about Airborne working as advertised, but when my husband and I tried it, we got results. Routinely one of us would catch something if we traveled on an airplane. Now, if we have to travel by airplane, we just use it, no matter what, and we aren't sick any more. Surprising to me was that if you take it at the first sign of congestion and continue to take it as directed, it will significantly reduce symptoms quickly, and at times I have had all symptoms disappear within a day. For me it really depends upon how quickly I start taking it after developing congestion. It is a particularly good buy when Amazon runs this three packet at $9.99 or $10.99.
Really does help 2007-07-15
make my cold symptoms go away faster. I work in a school and swear by this.
Great Product 
2007-07-09
This was recommended by a school teacher friend to our family. She swears by it. It doesn'taste bad, my kids love it, and it is a good healthy product...kind of a super-vitamin. It helps you not get as sick if you take it right away when you've been exposed to an ill person.
Part of my study kit. 2007-05-15
I was initially skeptical of this product. When I was studying long hours for a series of professional exams and not getting much sleep, I knew that catching a cold (it was winter) would seriously mess up my rhythm and possibly impact my score. Since I ride the subway every day, and work in a crowded office, I took Airborne every time I felt a cold coming on (more than once), and then every day for the 2-weeks preceeding the exam. This was probably overkill, but I wasn't taking any chances. The end result was that I didn't get sick-- even when I felt a cold coming on, it soon passed. I now keep a few tubes of airborne in the kitchen cabinet and my desk drawer. I highly recommend this product. Some people say that it works on the placebo effect, but my experiences would say otherwise.
Airborne wha? 
2007-05-13
This is for everyone saying that the naysayers can't be credible because they haven't tried it. I took it as prescribed, and it didn't work. I do know a few things that do work:
1. Do not rub your eyes
2. Do not pick your nose
3. Wash your hands
For the record, I rub my eyes.
Most cold viruses enter the body through the eyes or nose. The nasal mucosa has up to 100 times more viruses than the throat. The saliva has very few viruses if any at all. If 100 people have a cold, 40 will have the virus on their hands compared to 8 who will expell it in coughs of sneezes. So you will most likely not get a cold from someone who is coughing or sneezing. However, they will pick their nose then touch a doorknob or a pen. The dried virus will survive there for over three hours. So then you'll touch it then pick your nose (people are so disgusting). Then 2-4 days later you'll get symptoms. You are more likely to catch a cold by holding your sweetheart's hand than by kissing her.
As for acheck, kcrandall and tsanders; these people sound arrogant so I understand those who write to defy them. In fact, I know acheck personally, and honestly, he's a real jerk. But on 18 January 2007 he made a convincing argument.
Lastly, someone said Airborne is cheaper than paying a physician or buying cold medicine. Medical education and training is expensive, and sound research is really expensive. If you want people who know what they're doing and products that work you have to pay for it. This stuff doesn't fall from the sky (or fizz from the bottom of a glass of water).
I'll admit the box has great artwork! 2008-01-23
The truth is that there is no reliable clinical evidence that shows that Airborne is at all effective in reducing symptoms or preventing the common cold. The one "clinical study" performed, at the behest of the company, is of extremely dubious quality (and the link to this study is not even on the product's web site any longer). While I have met people who have said that Airborne helps them, this is almost certainly a placebo effect. If you wish to research this product, Scientific American, The New York Times, and the "Orac Knows" blog web sites have good articles on it, and a little digging will find many more. Zinc lozenges, on the other hand, do have some clinical data to back up their efficacy, so I would highly recommend that you spend your money there instead.
GREAT PROTECTION 2007-12-21
THIS IS GREAT. I'M A NURSE. I'M AROUND SICK PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. THIS STUFF IS GOOD.
GOD BLESS
FORGET ABOUT THE FLU SHOT AND TAKE THIS DURING THE COLD AND FLU SEASON! 2007-12-12
I use to catch a cold or flu virus about once or twice a year. But ever since I discovered Airborne ( 3 years ago ) I have not caught these viruses. I have honestly not had a cold or flu virus IN THE LAST 3 YEARS! The routine that works for me is to take just one tablet every couple of days but ONLY during the cold and flu season. This is an excellent product that I will continue to purchase and recommend for the rest of my life.
Excellent Product 2007-10-13
I have used this as a preventative measure for two years now. Whenever I feel early cold symptoms I take one. Considering this, I have only experienced short colds twice in the last two years.
It works! 2007-10-05
I don't know how it works but we've been using this product for three years now and at the first sniffle or sneeze we down a tablet or two and it never manifests itself into a full-blown cold. Thats how we've been using it although it is primarily to be used as a preventive when in close quarters for extended periods with others such as on planes, trains, in theaters, at conventions, etc. We're entering our fourth cold season without a cold and I wouldn't be without it anymore. It's an essential part of our medicine cabinet.
