Jeff - The active ingredients of licorice root wipes out SARS, HIV, and any other virus hands down. There've been 30 year studies from Japan to China and other countries regarding this.

Here are links to the licorice data:

From Nature:

Licorice may tackle SARS After trying all sorts of compounds researchers say root extract looks promising.

"High doses of the liquorice extract, called glycyrrhizin, practically wipe out the SARS virus in infected monkey cells, find virologist Jindrich Cinatl of Frankfurt University Medical School, Germany and his colleagues. The drug is more potent than ribavirin, the most commonly used treatment for SARS."

So far,it looks fairly legitimate.

I´m not noticing anything shattering so far though,as they say,they really need to keep on researching and see whether there is a strong correlation between humans and those other forms they´ve tried it on.
If it comes out they´ll be trying that out,then it will be shown whether it works,I suspect it is no wonder cure but possibly a good "supplement" at the very least.
