I see that Paracelsian just revised their website. The biggest and most important change is that they now have Andrographis for sale! They did a great job on their Andrographis page. Check it out: paracelsian.com Andrographis may help fight off cold and flu viruses. It is interesting to note that their may be a shortage of flu vaccines this year. There should be enough for those in high-risk groups, but there might not be enough to cover everyone else who wants one. cdc.gov cdc.gov PRLN mentions nothing on its web site about the possibility that Andrographis may help fight the AIDS virus. I am happy that this is the case because doing so could get them in trouble with the FDA. However, the FDA can't regulate what people outside the company say about it, so if any of you know anyone who is interested, you can point them to some tantalizing evidence that suggests it may also help fight the AIDS virus. A study was done in 1988 which demonstrated that it almost completely stopped the AIDS virus in laboratory cells. aids.org Of course, just because it works in laboratory cell cultures does not necessarily mean it will work in humans. Only clinical trials can determine that.
