[edit] GNG Pharmaceutical Services

Is "GNG Pharmaceutical Services Inc." a "doing business as" (DBA) name for GNG Pharmaceutical Search Inc.? I'm having some trouble with the credibility of the alleged trial because all Google hits for "GNG Pharmaceutical Services" refer to Airborne. The Rod 19:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Please add this important link to the Airbone page: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Health/story?id=1664514&page=1&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312

Apparently there is a HUGE issue with Airborne since this GNG company is a farce and is actually part of Airborne! Airborne is trying to cover up the study by saying that it isn't a clinical and that its consumers would be confused by it - They sure don't have faith in the intelligence of their consumers! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.107.8.57 (talk • contribs) 2006-04-05 00:05:58 (UTC)

Their website http://www.airbornehealth.com/cnav_faqs.php#company04 says (as of 11/21/2006),

"...we conducted a study in 2003 that showed Airborne had a marked effect on reducing the duration of symptoms. Our Medical Advisory Board members are currently formulating a study that in addition to the studies in the literature, will further support Airborne's immune boosting properties."

They're calling it "a study," not a clinical study. Also, it's interesting that they're "formulating" a study that "will" support the product's allegedly beneficial properties. You're not supposed to know the results before the study takes place. But even so, I'm confident they'll simply repeat what other studies have shown; vitamins A and C "contribute" to a healthy immune system (just like they contribute to a "healthy" renal system, cardiovascular system, etc.) and since a healthy immune system helps you fight off colds, and since Airborne definitely includes vitamins A and C, bingo bango, there you go.

[edit] Vitamin C and Kidney Stones

New research has little correlation between vitamin C and kidney stones. See http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/f-w99/kidneystones.html --Liface 05:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
