The health product airborne has 5 calories and no sugar. My kids are sick and I am trying to avoid this. If I take 5 tablets at 5 calories throughout the day, should I minus one shake?

Umm.. absolutely not. You could count it as a snack, but I would not worry about it as much. You can have 25 calories in infusers a day, so just don't do infusers and trade it for the airborne.
I found an off brand that uses the same stuff, in lozenge form as well.

There was a big publicity thing during mid-August that Airbourne was told to pay back millions of dollars to people who bought the product when it was found to do nothing to help people avoid becoming ill.

The news was on television and in newspapers. It caught my eye because my visitor from Australia took it on the plane here and I had just bought some, the night before the publicity, for her to begin taking before her long flight back home.

I hope your children feel better soon (and that you don't catch the bug).

Basically, Airborne and things like it are not cures... no cure for the cold... but there are vitamins and minerals that CAN help. Not enough research for any proof, but those who swear by it continue to use it.
Myself, I just increase Zinc and Vitamin C and that tends to help me.

Yeah, I heard about the lawsuit. It kinda made me mad cause I like it, but, this is the world we live in. I have not gotten sick , just a little snotty... With God who can be against me, right? Good grief, this may be TMI but, I started my period today, and STILL LOST WEIGHT!!! Since Sept 11, I have lost 9 pounds. Man. My jeans look better.
