Oh yes! Quigley does no research, and does not know how its product works. Sure we all know about the theoretical blockage of the viral attachment site, but how does the stuff get to the nose? Why doesn't the other guy's stuff get there, or does it? They don't hire research people to figure this stuff out. Perhaps, they don't think it is necessary. Osmosis? Give me a break!The rise in blood level from the lozenge can not transfer the appropriate amount to the nose, if you know your pharmacokinetics and dynamics. So we are all wondering how the stuff gets to the nose. Bayer on the other hand did its homework 110 years ago and is still doing it now, on many products. What does that Dr. fellow they hired actually do? He seems more like Regulatory Affairs than a science person.

Well, at least I gleaned a bit of ancient history worth noting. I wasn't attempting to compare specifics, but rather, was making a generalization about the potentials and unrecognizable probabilities for a non-entity at any given time to abruptly become something more than just another stock in the marketplace. Quigley may well just dissolve off into it's former position of insignificance. On the other hand, it my rocket to the forefront of cold remedies and become a household word as in "fetch me some Quigley!". Admittedly, it's not likely, but the point is that there was a time back in the nineteenth century when the same could be said for Bayer. Lighten up and quit picking the nits of irrelevancy. By the way, thanks for the history lesson! It caused me to go verify YOUR remarks, a thing I don't usually do, given the trivial nature of the issue!
