Howdy folks! I'm George Eby of Austin, Texas, and I'm laying claim to being the best common cold research scientist in the world! Texas brag? No, just the fact! I know what you are thinking about "a cure for the common cold". You have been thoroughly indoctrinated to "know" there is no such thing! Right? There are too many rhinovirus types; and too many other excuses have been thrown at you by everyone from your mother to government research scientists. It's just unthinkable. Right? Before you look further into my 180+ page web site, see what the U. S. Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks has to say about the "unthinkable". If you go no further into this site than this paragraph, see how order is brought out of chaos using the relationship between zinc ion availability (ZIA) and its effect on the duration of common colds as demonstrated in published reports of clinical trials of zinc lozenges for common colds. Still unconvinced? Then read the American College of Physicians July 15, 1996, Annals of Internal Medicine report Zinc Gluconate Lozenge for Treating Common Colds.
WOW! The "cure for the common cold" at last! In April of 1995, the biggest "unthinkable patent" finally happened. The "cure" for the common cold was patented! How did such an astonishing patent come about? First there were 17 years of exhaustive research into one of nature's best kept secrets -- the many natural effects of solution zinc ions (Zn2+) on disease processes, and specifically common colds. Even though clinical research data showed that solution zinc ions shortened colds by 5 and 7 days in two independent, peer reviewed clinical trials ("Prophylaxis and treatment of rhinovirus colds with zinc gluconate lozenges" in Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotheraphy, 1987 volume 20, pages 893 through 201, and "Reduction in duration of common colds by zinc gluconate lozenges in a double-blind study" in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotheraphy, 1984 volume 25 pages 20 through 24), and often aborted incipient colds within a few minutes to a few hours in general use, the Patent and Trademark Office demanded firsthand proof of the effect of zinc acetate lozenges, not zinc gluconate lozenges.
Since seeing is believing (the only way to prove this discovery to one's self), a case of 30 bottles of Fast DryTM Zinc Acetate Lozenges was sent to the Patent and Trademark Office to treat colds that were spreading through the office. Some of the Examiners were too skeptical to try our product, and they served as controls. Other Examiners were curious and agreed to use our product as directed.
According to Patent Examiner Ronald W. Griffin, the results were very clear to the Patent Examiners. Those that used Fast DryTM Zinc Acetate Lozenges each 1-1/2 to 2 hours to treat their colds missed hardly any work and recovered a week earlier than the controls. The Examiners agreed -- from firsthand knowledge -- that Fast DryTM Lozenges were indeed "the" cure for the common cold.
The Patent and Trademark Office had believed that there were only two unpatentable inventions, a cure for common colds and a perpetual motion machine. When faced with their own personal experiences with Fast DryTM Lozenges to treat their colds, they found themselves in a position where they were morally and legally obligated to issue the world's first and only "CURE FOR COMMON COLD" patent, U.S. Patent Number 5,409,905.
If we could get the European Patent Office and the Canadian Patent Office to pay similar attention to our patent applications, Europe and Canada will benefit too because no major pharmaceutical company would invest in a product without the protection of patent rights.
Now for the first time in history, you too can experience one of nature's best kept health secrets. They are all natural, pleasant tasting, sweet, and mildly peppermint flavored. They release into the mouth solution Zn2+ ions which in laboratory studies are powerful antirhinoviral agents, immune system stimulants, interferon inducers, cell plasma/membrane pore closing agents, antioxidants, protease inhibitors, and strong drying agents.
Slowly dissolving lozenges in the mouth allows the active ingredient, solution Zn2+ ions, to be absorbed into the oral tissues and transported directly into the infected nasal tissues by natural processes reserved for positively charged metallic ions.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to protect yourself, your family, and co-workers from colds? Colds are simple, try Fast DryTM Lozenges! They contain only natural sweeteners and 12.8 mg of ionizable zinc which is less than the U.S. RDA of zinc.
Additionally, Fast DryTM Lozenges are not drugs under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, they are available today by mail order from GEORGE EBY RESEARCH. Eventually, they will be available in every pharmacy, health food and convenience store in the nation!

END OF SHAMEFULLY COMMERCIAL MATERIAL!
The following materials are provided for interested laymen and professionals wanting solid, factual information about the powerful, and beneficial effects of Zn2+ ions in treating common colds. There are many internal and external links with links to movies of rhinoviruses from 3 different perspectives, and much more vital and accurate information than all but the most ardent professional can tolerate. But! The data are provided in easy to chew, byte size bits.
The list of U.S. patents, pending Canadian and European patent applications, and lists of book, book articles, and peer reviewed journal articles authored by G.A. Eby.
"Does Zinc Really Cure the Common Cold?" is quite brief, and is an excellent place to begin one's research in order to understand why only a very few zinc compounds out of many are effective against colds when incorporated into lozenges.
Handbook for Curing the Common Cold -- the Zinc Lozenge Story This is a 100+ page book with 27 technical figures, 16 tables of data and complex mathematical expressions. The handbook is vital for the true common cold researcher. The price of the physical book is $299.95, as it has become a historical medical collector's item. But the virtual information is here -- free! Just for you! Want to know about the vital relationship between zinc deficiency and HIV and AIDS? Want to know about the amazing efficacy of Fast DryTM Lozenges in the treatment of mononeucleosis? Is the complete handbook too much to read? Try the Chapter Executive Summaries from the handbook. They are easy and quick reading, and meant for busy people wanting the straight facts, but have little time to study the complex material presented in the handbook.
The third article is a peer reviewed article from the Journal of Pharmacy Technology, entitled "Linearity in Dose-Response from Zinc Lozenges in Treatment of Common Colds". It is primarily for physicians, pharmacologists, pharmacists, and other researchers wishing to: (a) obtain a strong scientific and technical understanding of the in vitro effects of Zn2+ ions, (b) understand the solution chemistry, biochemistry, and biophysics related to Zn2+ ions and common cold research, (c) review analyses of all pre-1996 published zinc lozenge for common cold reports, and (d) be introduced to the exciting technology behind Fast DryTM Lozenges. A fourth article is primarily for solution chemists and other highly trained biomedical scientists and is not online - yet. It is "The Zinc Lozenge and Common Cold Story", in the internationally contributed, state-of-the-art, 4 volume set -- Metal-Ligand Interactions in Biological Fluids: Bioinorganic Medicine, Volume 2, pages 1182-1190, Marcel Dekker, Inc, New York, 1995. The editor (my mentor), Guy Berthon, PhD, is Director of Research for Unit 305 (Equipe "Bioréaciifs : Spéciation et Biodisponibilité"), at the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM), in Toulousse, France, a part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifque (CNRS), Paris, France.
Pharmacologists, medical research scientists, physicians! Your attention please!
Please see "Opinion - zinc lozenges as cure for common colds" in the November 1996, issue of Annals of Pharmacotheraphy. It is a 1770 word summary of the whole zinc lozenge for common colds enchilada -- and if you read the last three paragraphs carefully -- they will open a 21st century research gateway to cures for otherwise lethal viral infections, tissue necroses, anaphylactic shock, respiratory distress, and so forth.
