<Dear consumer, we are labelling this "medication" homeopathic because we can not prove that this substance is safe and effective. In fact, it may even harm or kill you. This substance has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency.>

This is another one of your gross misrepresentations of the facts. The following letter would be more appropriate.

Dear Consumer,

We are labeling the Zicam cold remedy as homeopathic because its active ingredient is Zinc Gluconate 2%, a substance that has been determined by the FDA to be safe. We conducted a clinical study on Zicam that proves it reduces the duration of common cold symptoms by 87.5% from an average of 12 days to an average of 1.5 days. The results of the study were accepted and published by the New England Journal of Medicine. The FDA has approved companies to classify products as homeopathic if they contain Zinc Gluconate.

The only statement in the paragraph above that has yet to occur is "The results of the study were accepted and published by the New England Journal of Medicine". All other statements in the paragraph above are true and can be verified by contacting either the FDA, Gel Tech, or GumTech.

You're digging your hole deeper with every one of your misleading posts. You've run into some well read investors this time that won't accept your nonsense. Add that line to your list too.
