AIRBORNE:
Victoria Knight-McDowell, an elementary school teacher who was sick
of catching colds in class and on airplanes*,
spent over five years developing AIRBORNE with a team of health
professionals. AIRBORNE was created by combining seven herbs** (each
with a specific function in Eastern medicine) then putting them
through a patented extraction process, and THEN combining them with
a unique formulation of amino acids, anti-oxidants and electrolytes.
An effervescent carrier was used, as a way to deliver the
nutritional benefits of AIRBORNE to the system immediately, and
without the bulk of conventional pills. There’s nothing else like
it!
Do
bacteria and viruses get resistant to herbs the way they do to
drugs?
There is no known bacterial, viral, or fungal "resistance" to
complex herbal formulas. Some of these formulas have been used for
thousands of years with no evidence of waning efficacy. The Chinese
medicine text, the "Nei Ching" is estimated to have been drafted in
200 a.d., and contains formulas that are still used effectively for
infections today. The "resistance to resistance" of Chinese and
other herbal formulas, is thought to occur because there are several
herbs in each formula, and each herb has many complex plant
alkaloids. This complexity is believed to be too much for the "bugs"
to process; it is much easier for them to adapt and "outwit" the
simpler "one item" pharmaceuticals. According to certain health
experts in America and abroad, traditional herbal medicines may soon
be our only weapon against bacteria, like staphylococcus--"staph"--that
are fast becoming resistant to antibiotics!

for Chinese Herbal Medicine.

** To insure quality and safety, Knight-McDowell Labs imports the

milled, and then put through a patented extracting process. Most
American companies use imported powdered herbs of questionable
origin, where purity and effectiveness can be an issue.
