What you write is as biased as them saying Ivermectin, HCQ, Zinc et al do not shorten colds or flu. It is total hogwash.
Big Pharma pushed govt, to make Zicam change the formula to prevent and stop colds. They made them take the zinc gluconate glycine out of their product because people lost their sense of smell. Like it never comes back after CURING the common cold in 5 days or less. You no longer need to have a 14 day run with colds, take zinc, Vitamin C, D3 and have an almost cold. Take the anti Covid protocol and SAVE YOUR LIFE.....except big Pharma and its muscle men in government don’t like this.
Go away propagandist, your kind is not needed in intelligent discussions.
Most colds are caused by rhinoviruses. These viruses are good at binding with cells lining your nasal passages and the throat. Zinc ions in Zicam are believed to block the virus from binding to these cells. The oral Zicam is unable to put the zinc gluconate deep into the lungs where COVID attacks. There’s limited evidence about how safe and effective Zicam products are. Researchers don’t know how people can avoid the side effects of taking zinc. As a result, it’s not clear what the best dose or treatment plan would be.
I liked the old Zicam formula. Then TPTB made it less effective. Pffft!
We take First Defence (spelled. With a “c”), from Amazon. It seems to work well.
