<<<There is no comparison between Quigley's Cold-Eeze and Zicam in terms of efficacy>>>

I wasn't really making a comparison between the remedies. Both QGLY and GUMM have cold medications that are based on pseudoscience, fraud and quackery so comparing "efficacy" is like watching an argument between two psychics discussing the merits of Tarot cards over Astrology.

The point I was trying to make is that QGLY has already covered the phony cold medication stock fraud area pretty well, and GUMM is a bit late to the party.

"There is no comparison between Quigley's Cold-Eeze and Zicam in terms of efficacy and the mechanism of action is completely different"

Huh? The active ingredient is zinc. Correct? Please explain yourself and don't be shy about the details. You sound like somebody who needs a crash course in virology 101.
