For years, a certain loudmouthed former hockey coach has been especially vocal about one thing - and no, it isn't the Europeans.
Don Cherry has been a long-time pitchman for Cold-FX, extolling the virtues of the ginseng-based alternative remedy since 2004. It's worked for him, and now, the science appears to back up his claims.
Seniors who had already been inoculated with the flu shot seemed to benefit by taking the cold fighter.
The three-year double-blind study showed that trial participants who took Cold-FX were about one-third less likely to get a "Jackson" cold or flu.
That's huge in a country where upper respiratory infections affect about 25 per cent of the population.
The research was led by Dr. Gerald Predy, Medical Officer of Health for Alberta Health Services, and you can find out more on it here.
"One of the key things here is that it's been approved by Health Canada," explains CityNews Medical Specialist Dr Karl Kabasele.
"[Health Canada] also agrees with the product manufacturer's assertion that this will help to prevent colds and also to reduce their length and severity," he added. |
