flu?They are both equally toxic.
Actually, they are not equally toxic. Acetaminophen is definitely more
toxic than aspirin. Even so, both are still safe drugs, as the doses
that are toxic are so far above therapeutic doses.Quoted message said:What you need is echinacea or better still, if
you restore your
immune system you won't have a cold or flu again. Ever.Please cite evidence that people who take echinacea or your ginseng will
never have another cold or bout of the flue again, ever.
Gee, how can treat you seriously?
