You've never spent time studying the natural world. Bats are dying from fungal infections, last I saw quwala bears were being decimated by herpes. Can't forget colony collapse disorder killing bee's. Even Tasmanian Devils are being wiped out by a bizarre virus. Your very selective in your choice of information. Charlse Darwin noticed that animals suffer from redraws. Ebola and Syphilis both originated in animals. What do you think they mean when they say bird flu, or swine flu? Wild animals survive without a health care system?

I last had a full blown cold around twenty years ago. Now, when I feel that tickle in the throat [quite rare now] I take echinacea and it is gone. I iften take echinacea daily as a prophylactic - it fine tunes and stimulates the body's immune system, so aids the throwing off of any and all infections. Taher than the hi-tech chemical cosh of modern medicine, I prefer the self healing of the natural way. Why do wild animals survive without a health service? They have immune systems, something hominids appear to have forgotten along with much else that's natural. I haven't had flu for around the same time span. Echinacea can be bought in chemists, wholefood stores and even supermarkets now, it's a no-brainer. I already have a cure for the common cold, what’s the fuss all about.

I know that curing the common cold is not a trivial task, because it involves not one virus but hundreds, but it will be hard to take the promises of radical life extension seriously as long as colds exist. People will always say, "If we're so smart, why haven't we found a cure for the common cold?"
