Above is an article about Cold FX and it's effectiveness...FYI...

Ginseng extract...interesting. I didn't know ginseng was a key ingredient. That has me intrigued. Little anecdote: I was teaching in Korea back in 1996 and started to get flu-like symptoms. A Korean co-worker told me to get a ginseng drink at the convenience store and drink it (all of it). I picked one up, put it in the fridge, and went to bed. The next day, I was miserable, and out of desperation more than anything, swigged down the ginseng drink. A short time later, I felt 99% better! It was incredible. I always wondered if it was a placebo effect kind of deal as well, but on the other hand, I am tempted to believe the many studies that say ginseng does lessen the severity and duration of colds. That one drink all but cured mine!
If anything, it seems Cold FX may be one more thing I can add to my 'arsenal' for basic training. It's not cheap stuff, but I may have to shell out for some.
HL, I've heard there are some restrictions with regards to medication at the Mega. Do you know what is or is not acceptable to bring? I guess I can always bring the works and if they confiscate some or all of it, too bad, right?
I'll definitely bring some extra strength ibuprofen, though.
