Colds are often treated with home remedies. There also carry and chicken broth. It is assumed that it softens and moisturizes. But not better than tea.
In the seventies of the last century many studies on this subject, and even they found something. We decided that chicken broth comprises any volatile components which may be peculiar to act on the mucosa of the respiratory tract.
To research forty years ago are often treated dismissively. Fashion passes, and about some facts forgotten.
Interesting is to see how there are "blind spots" in medicine. Any authority verdict and all picked up.
It happens that in the monumental monograph anything wrong translate, and then this error canonized. Such mistakes are regularly, if you read a lot of medical literature.
Once I was exactly the same skeptical. Do you think I'm specifically looking for an unusual treatment for the common cold? Not. To my office began to receive young people complained of a strange cough.
These were students who previously did not cough. Cough was to them something new and frightening. It turned out that they were coughing only on days when they were fed chicken noodle.
It was hospital food. Standard (under the state order) products and approved by the Institute of Supply 40 years ago recipes. So what happened?
It turned out that some of the students for several years did not eat this soup. They have no time to bother with cooking, the canteen did not sell, and in hospitals lie they have not yet (because they are young).
But I want to eat, so the offer of hospital soup did not refuse. And from chicken noodle they started coughing up phlegm.
When this occurs once, and you can skip. But if the same children with the same cough after a standard soup see 10 consecutive years, the creep some suspicions.
Very much doubt that someone will check it. Because zaplyuyut.
The dramatic story? Welcome to my world! Here are our medicine "blind spots."
Treated someday soup?
