I will personally apologize to you if I'm wrong about the product... I will go one step further. Apologize for what? For trying and liking a product? Getting excited about it and deciding to put our money where our mouth was? For trying to learn more about it and sharing our aspirations for the company's future with others? For looking forward to the nicotine and dental gum possibilities? Apologize because we disagreed with a few naysayers who want to call management scoundrels and frauds? You must be kidding. I might apologize if there ever was the slightest hint of fraud and somehow you sleuths had sniffed it out. But your due diligence is a joke. You listen to a braggart who admittedly does 3 minutes of historical financial statement analysis and blindly follow him into the pits of Hell. I know the company and its people. I have talked to them many times. There is no fraud (and for that matter no pet rock). I have tried all of the products and so have many of my friends. You,on the other hand, deserve what you get. You can expect to see no apologies from me. By the way, your apology will be of no consequence. If you antagonists have made false statements about the company and its officers then you should be prosecuted. If you only made a bad investment then join the crowd. We all have. Do a better job of "dd" in the future.

Eric, Did you read my post thoroughly and objectively? I said "I believe that Zicam is a quack fad, much like the pet rock." I can believe anything I want, whether you or the other shills like it or not. I believe this because I have read a lot of posts on the various threads, both pro (until I tired of the extremely lengthy and repetitive ones)and con, and various news releases, et al. I almost never take any kind of medication, and especially not for a simple cold. I believe that if I let my immune system fight it, it makes my immune system stronger. Do I suffer longer with a cold than someone that takes medication? Maybe. Do I suffer as often? I don't know, but I only have a bad cold about every two years on average. If it works for you, fine. But, again, I am entitled to my beliefs. If you don't like it, put me on ignore, and see if I care. And BTW, IMHO, stating a belief is not the same as stating something IS a fad. Now relating it to a pet rock is simply relating to a fad. Sorry you are too blind to see the parallel. I believe Zicam is probably about as effective as a pet rock in curing a common cold. Again, my belief. Have fun, Phil
