Believe him? I'm not sure, thats why I'm askin, surely it contains vitamins and minerals so there may be some truth in it?

Scientific fact, works like a charm... takes 3-4 "doses" though, every couple of hours.
You're very lucky your boyfriend knew this ;) :P

Well, my throat was a little sore last night. After a visit from my special pal though, it seems to be all better. I'd say yes, it works, and if it doesn't it never hurt any one anyways.
(i'm a woman, despite my avatar, by the way)

It does work. Directions for use:
Boyfriend shoots his baby paste in ANOTHER girls mouth.
You're so mad at this fact that you forget you got a sore throat!
Job done.

Tell him to prove it first by having a good old swig of his first!! - I bet that will change his mind!!!!!
It can only be beneficial vitamin and mineral wise if you swallow, not gargle and then its really high in calories - around 1,400 per shot!!!

I have never heard that to be the case.
If anything, it would make it worse.
Suck on Vitamin C tablets instead. The acid from the tablet will kill off the virus. I reccomend the orange flavored tabs.

only works if you give him a good kicking in the nether regions first to shake it up a bit. then go to the chemists and buy some strepsils.

One way to find out..... It does work. My wife ALWAYS does this when she has a sore throat,also it is good for the skin,mainly the face.

I would recommend a Strepsil. These alternative therapies aren't all they're cracked up to be!

No, it is not a good idea. What if you're allergic to something he eats. Tell him to go splatter his "baby batter" somewhere else and get you something more comforting while you're sick.
