    The great dismisser of evidence and research is now asking for evidence and research?

    He found a man's immune system may be naturally weaker than a woman's, and with some illnesses, especially respiratory diseases, men are more susceptible to complications than women. This is because of hormonal differences in the genders. The masculine hormone testosterone suppresses the immune system, while the feminine hormone estradiol is immunoprotective.

    So you have complications of some kind? Maybe you should check into a hospital.

    No need to get salty. Why not be graceful and say something like "point taken, point understood."?

    The article is hardly definitive and said many scientists dispute it.

    While I agree that zinc lozenges are a good way to shorten colds it sounds like UA is a little late this time around and probably just has to suck it up and get through this. But next time...

    Hmmm ...

    once a month women have this bleeding thing going on ... with cramps and a propensity toward migraines.

    Now and then women push babies out of their bodies.

    Talking about a man cold makes me laugh.

    Now, man-pregnancy would be a whole different experience that I would love to see.
