I would agree with your restatement. I would like to clarify what I meant by "loophole". I did not mean to imply that GUMM was doing anything wrong, or trying to slip something through that should not be through. My understanding is that medicinal items can be sold as: 1. Prescription - Requires extensive testing 2. Over the counter - Must be made up certain active ingredients that are permitted in OTC medications 3. Food supplements - This allows certain herbs and vitamins to be sold 4. Homeopathic medicines - I don't know what the qualifications would be for this, other than low dosages of safe ingredients Basically by "loophole" I was implying that in order to get the product on the market, GUMM was making to product conform to one of the classes of products that can be sold. If Zinc were considered to be an active ingredient I suppose that GUMM could move up to being an over-the-counter medication, but in the meantime the only one that fits is homeopathic medicines. It can't be a food supplement because it isn't swallowed. Carl
