Wife and I did same from that time, and have never had another cold getting off any flight.
When grandkids came around with sniffles the same, take an Echinacea, and 99 times out of a 100 we didn't catch it, where as before taking them, for me at least, it was a guaranteed cold.

That's great! I'm glad it worked for you. I also think "expectation" had something to do with it. I'm not a scientist or MD, but I have an interest in the mind/body connection and educate myself to it as much as I can. It's well documented that our mind has a huge influence on our health. I just wish more MDs would talk about this. And for those of us who have an interest in "history," there was a great healer we all know about who said it was belief that did the actual healing, not the healer.
