[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3646833, member: 24531"] Dale, there are corporations making this stuff and selling it at mainstream stores with health CLAIMS ON THE BOX. The FDA doesn't allow people to make claims about products unless there is some clinical evidence behind the claim. If this Umcka or Zicam, or Vicks First Defense, etc...can reduce the severity of the common cold caused by a corona virus, then why would you disparage this? I am just trying to think outside the box on how to keep a viral illness from progressing. You better believe I've already given a box of the cold & flu version to the elderly people in my life. It definitely isn't going to hurt them whether it works or not. They also make a kids formula...probably a lot safer than Tamiflu. I think I am onto something; it would be interesting to know what outcomes a controlled study would show verses placebo. They already showed and claim benefits for other common cold viruses. My plan is to hit the regular formula combined with other co-factors like zinc & vitamin C, etc. at the onset of any new viral symptoms (tickle in throat, sneeze, etc.) and then move to the multi-symptom formula if the crud progresses to try and reduce the severity. It definitely won't hurt anything, but you and others can take this idea and make your own decision. This could also be used by inoculated people too Dale...maybe they just get a regular cold or flu and want to not be sick for a week. [/QUOTE]
