Mad2, I am not shooting you. The article is not, in my opinion, correct and neither is Dr. Romero. The licensable issue and the use of pleconaril for the common cold vs viral meningitis are two different issues.

You can make fun of me if you wish but my academic credentials are better than many, although I have been in private practice for several years now, and there are academicians who already publicly support Zicam - and independent academicians performed the second clinicals on Zicam that included common cold treatment and prophylaxis.

Sound bytes and data are two diiferent things. If you have the confidence that pleconaril will be the drug of choice for common colds based on what you have said, then behave accordingly. I just presented what I think is an accurate comparison of Zicam and pleconaril, something that is not new to this thread.

"Pleconaril is the first true, viable product that is potentially licensable."

Obviously Zinc Glutonate isn't licensable, even though it is apparently true and viable.
