Sure, kids are germ factories, and working with children as a teacher is a great way to be regularly exposed to the latest bug going around, but how does that give Ms. Knight-Dowell the expertise to come up with an herbal/supplement concoction to prevent or fight colds? I might buy it if she claimed to have figured out a method of hand-washing that kids can actually do correctly, which would probably go much farther in decreasing the spread of colds in schools than any herbal remedy, but don't see how her experience as a school teacher suddenly qualifies her as a expert in herbal medicine." lol Reminds me of what surgeon Orac said:

Why the hell would I want a cold remedy cooked up by someone whose best qualification for the task was kindergarten teacher?
