In any case, 45 days from now, my guess is that Zicam will be a household word.
What would you say if your wife or relative went to their physician with high cholesterol, history of heart deasese in the family complaining of periodic chest pains, further it was determined that coronory artery blockage was in the 90% range.
When you asked this relative what the doctor prescribed the answer was to take a white pill once a day and to not worry. When you inquired as to exercise, diet, surgery etc...., the answer came back don't worry. When you inquired about the effectivness of the medicadion, you were told "theoretical" evidence exists however becasue the white pill is so new, studies and the like are available. Furthermore this white pill isn't manufactured by a major pharm company, rather it's made by a small entraprenural chewing gum company.
Dr. Epstein thats the medical equivelent of the senario you paint about GUMM's prospects......you say in 45 days now, my guess is Zicam will be a household word
