I haven't had a cold in 3 years.
I don't have allergies.
However if I compare the claims of Zicam, paralleling them with HUNDREDS of other homeopathic products advertised on TV Radio and print media,that HAVE BEEN TESTED IN CINICS , I can accomplish the following without prescription and never have to see a doctor:
Reduce the size of my prostate and greatly reduce my risk to prostate cancer.
Continuosly lose weight, while eating all the pizza and big macs and candy I want.
Will not go bald and grow new hair by buying this clinicaly tested product that has been used in Europe for centuries, and the secret is just now leaking out.
Buy an electronic gadget to run over the wrinkles on my face and eliminate them.
Raise my good cohlesterol, and lower my bad, all with a money back guarantee.
Eliminate ED, a multitude of OTC products to get rid of ED embarassment, all guaranteed, tested by doctors in clinics.
Eliminate arthritis pain so I can go back to enjoying life again. Hundreds of snake oil clinic tested products, plain old aspirin beats all of them.
A miracle cream from Asia that has been proven in clinics to reduce the lines on my face, crowfeet around my eyes,not offered in the US till now.

Yes it is a billion dollar business and there is a sucker born every day.
Zicam is part of this group of snake oil, until they get the necessary testing and approval from the FDA, they will not be separated from the homeopathic cult products.
