BTW, I invite others who have tried Zicam to share their experiences here, whether good or bad. Let's get the truth out about this product. If it doesn't work, then I will reevaluate my position in this company. From what I have read and experienced firsthand, Zicam works as advertised. The more people that we hear from, the more statistically accurate the results become.

Thanks,

Dan

At the risk of sounding like I'm hyping Zicam, I will offer the following testimonial. I normally get one to two colds a year and they are on the severe side. On average, I have to stay home from work for nearly a week. The OTC medications that I normally take, Dimetapp, Contact, Tylenol Cold, and the like, without question make me feel drowsy, lightheaded, and give me a dry throat. At times I can't tell if I feel worse from the cold or from the medication.
Last Thursday, I felt a cold coming on. By this weekend, I felt terrible with a runny nose, sneezing, wheezing eyes, and coughing. I missed work Monday and Tuesday this week because I felt so bad. Zicam is not yet available at stores in my area so I called GumTech and they sent me a package. I began taking it yesterday at about noon and by 10 p.m. last night, my cold symptoms were already subsiding. No more runny nose, no more sneezing, no more wheezing eyes, no more coughing. I still didn't feel 100% this morning but I felt good enough to go to work today. It is now 2 p.m. and my cold is almost completely gone. This is after 6 doses of Zicam.

Please excuse me if this post comes across as hype. I sincerely DO NOT intend it to sound like hype. Those who have known me on SI for several years know that I do not hype stocks and I'm a very honest person. Zicam is a new product and a lot of controversy has circulated about whether it is effective. My goal is to share my personal experience with Zicam so that other shareholders will know that it worked for at least one person. I assume that if it works for me it will also work for others.
