Airborne

Starting with last Wednesday night, Airborne made an official believer out of me. Upon returning to work Monday, I learned that two of my lunch buddy co-workers had got sick the week before. Needlesstosay, their germs were still lingering.

I had heard of Airborne several year ago but never took it. I got a summer cold early this summer and my manager and another co-worker highly recommended it. They told me that as soon as you feel symptoms coming on, start chugging Airborne like there is no tomorrow. By the time I got this advice, I was already 3-4 days into my cold. I bought it anyway just to see if it would help any.

This time around was a completely different story. After I ate dinner on Wednesday, I felt really nauseous and by the time I was ready for bed I had the chills as well. So before I went to bed, I drank some Airborne nighttime formula. I slept like a ton of bricks. I couldn't even recall rolling over. I woke up feeling better than when I went to bed and certainly not like I needed to call in sick or anything. In fact, I felt like I normally would feel after I've had a cold for 4-5 days and I'm on the upswing of getter better. I couldn't believe how great my sinuses felt.

Before going to work on Thursday, I decided to go to CVS and pick up more Airborne. I got both the nighttime and daytime formulas. I drank two servings of the daytime and one serving of the nighttime. By the time I got to work on Friday morning, I didn't even feel like I had been sick at all! Unbelievable! 2 days later my flu-like symptoms were almost 100% gone and all I had taken for it was Airborne and a few cough drops. No other cold medicines or antibiotics were needed.

Airborne was created and developed by Victoria Knight-McDowell, a former second grade school teacher.
