| [ MIT ] in KIDS 글 쓴 이(By): Renoir (Apostle ☆맧) 날 짜 (Date): 1998년02월21일(토) 02시11분27초 ROK 제 목(Title): Cold, Flu, Zinc I read in some article (I believe it was in New England Medical Journals) last year (I am not sure if it was 1996 or 1997) which claims that intaking of Zinc can mitigate the symptom. I now have Centrum A to Zinc, and I never catch a cold since I have one tablet a day. Truly amazing. People in my office know that I used to catch flu everytime it blows this area. Now they are amazed even more. The wife of my company's president, who is an MDPhD in Harvard Medical School, recommended it and now I thank her for it. Doctors still don't know what causes the alleviations, but they also suggests taking Zinc to sexually active males (as it's known that having an intercourse causes an extorsion of Zinc from male bodies). Anyway, I have tried taking lots of Oranges previously, but usually I got even sicker. I recently found out that was because of the follic acids which causes the "food acid problem". So, I suggest taking a Vitamin C tablet and Zinc supplement when you are about to hit by a flu or cold. Depression which comes with flue / cold is not caused by viruses, but by being physically weak. I know this since I have been sick so many times since my early years. To be strong in mind, your body also has to be pretty healthy. -Hoon =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 살아가는 것이란 변화한다는 것이며, Hoon (Paul) Kim 완벽하게 되는 것은 끊임없이 변화함으로 hpkim@ALUM.MIT.EDU 이뤄지는 것이다.
