Your mention of the 650 bacteria rang a bell and I am sure this is the site I'm talking about Mike. Unfortunately, I have passed this erroneous information on, as you said. And thank you for your explanation of what could happen in the instances of viral infections; another thing I will keep and hopefully be able to produce again! Dee

Dear Dee, There are a couple of things at work in these results... One, it seems that maybe CS can interfere directly with the processes that viruses use to infect cells, but we don't really know much about how it might do this. All we know is that plenty of people believe they've "nipped a cold in the bud" by taking large doses of CS at the very first signs of symptoms. Another aspect is that nearly every viral infection is usually followed by a secondary, complicating bacterial infection which brings along another layer of even worse symptoms. Tissues affected by the virus are more vulnerable to bacteria. The CS prevents or minimizes the secondary infection, hastening recovery and reducing the severity of symptoms. So, with colds and flu, you're able to keep it down to a *simple* viral infection which the body will normally clear in a week or two. Without CS, you'd almost inevitably pick up an additional case of strep or some other kind of bacteria, which makes things a lot worse. Be well, Mike D.
