Anyone ever hear of Magnalife Lung Crme? I came across it somewhere and googled it. You know, maybe it can help someone with a chest cold,, but I can't see where it would help us ~ as much as we would all love to find a magic cure1

Think I will just stick with my Aloe Caps and use of Aloelyptus Crme
when necessary (I rub it on my chest and it helps me). Maybe only for a
while, but any relief is greatly appreciated. Other times, it totally clears things up!

i've never heard of it, but when i "googled" the name the 1st thing that came up was this FDA letter to the company getting down on them for "false advertising".

i don''t see anything that would hurt (unless allergic), but not sure if it would help either. is it supposed to help us "breath better" or is it a pain relief?

I saw an ad for it in a magazine, and what was funny, it started off "Do you have xxxx? order the magalife cream" then down a few sentences it said "Do you have nnn? get magnalife cream" It listed an entire page of things this cream would cure!!!!!

I tried it for about a month a while back. There was a review which mentioned that rubbing on the back provided some relief for a person with respiratory ailments. It's possible that it's somewhat like Vicks vaporub which does help with congestion. I don't use it - seemed a waste.

I have to agree with all of you.....you all have made very good points. I was looking for everyone's opinion. I don't think it would hurt to try it, but on the other hand I think in the long run it would be a waste of money. Thanks for speaking up on this. Have a great evening.
