Wow!!! "Recent research confirms these ancient claims by revealing that licorice: boosts the immune system; is a mild pain reliever; aids endurance; activates the liver; rejuvenates the pancreas; strengthens the respiratory system; aids digestion; cures ulcers and most recently has been found to fight tooth decay." At least they don't say it cures cancer!

What I challenge is the often mistaken idea that allergies need immune boosters. Allergies are caused by an over-reactive immune system, not a weak one. It is switching from single shot to full auto. The reason pred works is because it supressed that over active immune system.

So, although the hype might be hyperbole, doesn't mean it might not help. Let us know how it goes
