get a case of water bottles and a box of "Airborne" and drink at least one a day.... plus get a GIANT bottle of Purell and use it every time you touch money, a customer, a credit card, or a phone (whether any of the above look dirty or not)

and it definitely helps.

plus wash your hands with actual soap a few times a day......

and try not to breathe in people's "old-cigarette-smoke" smell..... it just irritates your sinuses and makes you more susceptible to sinus infections.

hope this helps. 🙂

Does work. They were sued for having the same contents of Alka-Seltzer. If failed. It's still on shelves... It's just a CRAP-LOAD of vitamins in a dosage. Nothing is guaranteed. Results may vary..Just like the tube said. 🙄

Airborne is just vitamins...its nothing "breakthrough" or anything.

Just somebody smart enough to market vitamins as something besides a daily chore.

we have waterless soap, and I also used a cream called "silicon glove" it is a hand cream that also works to prevent you from germs.

And as always, eat right, get rest, take your vitamins, etc.
