Stephen Rennard chief of pulmonary am Crit ical care Medicine at the University of Nebraska medi Cal Center in Omaha found extracts from Chicken soup inhibited the migration of inflammation causing cell called neutrophils. If too Many neutrophils which attack microbes and other dangerous invaders gather at the wrong place they can bring on the miserable symptoms of a cold. When neutrophils accumulate too much in the lungs you cough bring up phlegm feel feverish Ren Nard said in an interview. The scientist used his Laboratory to test whether Chicken soup could Block the meanderings of the inflammatory cells. We postulated that an anti inflammatory action of Chicken soup might explain its general salutary effects " said Rennard whose wife Barbara carefully followed her grandmother s recipe for the Experiment. The test tube studies showed that the soup even when diluted 200 times reduced the movement of the inflammatory cells significantly Rennard reported monday at a four Day International conference.
