keep immunity up with zinc and other important stuff (nutrient, sleep, water etc) and don’t get sick in first place.

I used to take Zicam when a cold was coming on.
Then I read several reports that the zinc compound in it damages your taste buds. I didn’t believe it at first until I noticed that foods were becoming bland.
It took about 6 months before my sense of taste came back.
I suppose I was lucky, because the reports said that it could be permanent.

I take the tablets at the first sign of a cold coming on. They’re excellent.

The original Zicam was the best! In a way, I think it might be the reason my mom is 93 now. She went through a period of extremely compromised immunity several years ago. When we traveled with her during cold season we dosed her with Zicam and she was safe.

This is one “regulation” I’d love to see PDJT nix.

And what about OTC asthma inhalers? They were banned "because they hurt the ozone"! Unbelievable! Banned over minuscule amount of propellant in an asthma inhaler compared to 100s tons of CFCs released industrialy world wide. Another gift from Obama.

Of course I don't blame Obama as much as the squishy inept bumbling George W. Bush who paved the yellow brick road for Obama in the first place.

Obama made you sick, then took your health care.

Zero's FDA banned the product due to the alleged danger to your sense of smell.

What ban? I bought Zicam in October.

loss of smell is often related to weight loss as food loses some of its appeal.... oh the horror!

They were wrong, it was all the snot that blocked the sense of smell.

I used to keep Zicam around for colds. I did find it to be effective. I did not know it was “banned”. I thought they’d decided to quit making it for liability reasons because they were being sued by people who allegedly lost their olfactory sense after using it.
