Wall Street Journal is great for GUMM...!!!!

It gives much exposure to the company, to one of its products,ZICAM,
and to the web page: http://www.GUMMinvestors.com

It also brings out the differences in the patent.
QGLY patent stricly states its only for the ORAL mucosa, but Zicam is applied to the NASAL tissue. Every judge knows the difference between the mouth and nose. Something you learn when you're a kid and your parents say touch your ears, nose, mouth. The nose is very distinguishable from the mouth.

The big difference between the two products is efficacy.
Cold-eze costs a lot more per cold, tastes horrible, and only reduces the cold to about 6 days. On the other hand, ZICAM is cost efficient with enough gel to eliminate 3 separate colds, its soothing so even children like it, and it reduces the common cold to 1 1/2 days (second clinicals pending for confirmation to the scientists, but general users of the product have already conducted their own family tests and are sold on the product)

I like the part where the Journal re-states the last news that ZICAM has 5 times the sales of the previous quarter.
WoW !
