hey everypone..... this was up a couple weeks ago.... but oddly enough... the info was taken down.........
a friend found it in google cache...
This sums up what I've read about Tagamet in several places, and I've seen it recommended as an anti-viral by both mainstream doctors and alternative medicine practitioners. One thing I thought was odd was when I went back to grab this quote, the page had been taken down. I had to get it from the google cache.

Cimetidine. The antiviral drug cimetidine (TagametŪ) is an over-the-counter drug used to treat heartburn. It also has potent immune system-boosting effects that can drastically reduce the duration of certain viral infections. Because cimetidine is safe for most people to take, 800 to 1000 mg taken at night (or 200 mg three times a day and 400 mg at night) can help boost the immune system in the event of exposure to influenza. Cimetidine in 200-mg tablets can be purchased over the counter. The directions in over-the-counter package inserts indicate that it is safe to take as much as 800 mg cimetidine a day. Some published studies state that up to 1000 mg cimetidine daily is safe (Choi YS et al 1993).
