The GUMM stock fraud. I think in GUMM's case I'm going to take a more proactive role in stopping this scam. I'm going to get in touch with Jodie Bernstein and see if we can get the FTC to investigate GUMM's fraudulent claims.

Cold-Eeze may be worse than just ineffective: content.health.msn.com What Are the Remedies and Treatments for the Common Cold? Towards the end of the article is a discussion of: Zinc. Some, but not all, studies have reported that zinc carbonate lozenges (Cold-Eeze) reduce the duration of many cold symptoms. Some research indicates that the mineral may help prevent the rhinovirus from attaching to nasal passage membranes. Others suggest that it may slightly boost the immune system, although in one study zinc, in moderate doses, actually appeared to weaken immunity. A recent analysis of studies on the use of zinc, in fact, found no significant effect on colds. Zinc, in any case, does not seem to reduce fever or soothe muscle aches or scratchy throats. Side effects include nausea and a bad taste and the mineral may be toxic in large doses. Taking even moderately high doses of zinc for prolonged periods may also reduce copper levels, lower HDL levels (the so-called good cholesterol), and cause anemia. More studies are needed.
