Perhaps it does not boost the immune system, but takes a background load off of 
it.

I've never seen anything to back up the claim that CS "boosts the
immune system." All I know is that a lot of the marketers say it. If
you or anyone has sources of original research or at least who 
initiated that claim could you please post some pointers?

For the present, I put "CS is an immune system booster" in the class
of things I hope are true but don't know yet. That might be how CS 
does some of its good thing, or it might not be part of the mechanism 
at all.

Since taking CS I *have* seen improvement in my annual bouts with
ragweed in late august 'til the first frost. I've always thought it
helps because I don't get an infection on top of the inflamed
tissues from the allergies. 

I know that I would usually go into winter with my bronchitis
already inflamed and it would linger until spring, all as a direct 
result of the allergies tearing me up inside.

Be well,
