Maybe I did go a little overboard there Ivan. Nevertheless, I was greatly impressed with the logic of your presentation..
I'm surprised that others on the list who have previously gone on record as having said that they take a gulp or two of CS every day haven't entered the fray as yet. I'm aware that most flu symptoms are caused by viruses, and that bacteria are opportunistic in their attack on the human body, particularly if the host is not in good health. Does CS have any affect on viruses as it does with bacteria? Or does the virus do its job of weakening the bodies natural defences so that the opportunist bacteria then 'has its evil way with you'? Anybody at all!
