<<Don't think this means Zicam -- a zinc gel spray on store shelves -- will or won't work, says Belongia. "This is not the same formulation as Zicam; that is a zinc gluconate gel. And Zicam has a higher concentration of zinc than the product we tested," he says. "You can't draw any conclusions from our study whether Zicam works or not." >> Happy Turkey Day everyone!!

Hank, I can understand your enthusiasm here, but I have 2 questions for you, and if you can answer them honestly it will allow you to continue to derive your pleasures here greatly. 1.) Have you tried Zicam? 2.) If a subset of people tried Zicam, even a small subset, and believed to have derived some benefit from it, the same as zinc lozenges lets say, then where is the harm? Aside from labeling and regulatory issues of course. I have tried Zicam, and I believe I derived some benifit from it. I would try it again. I have not tried other zinc sprays, however I will try them the next chance I get. I'll keep you posted. eg...maybe my colds only lasted a couple days...etc... Happy Holidays everybody! V
