This is, and will be, no competition for Zicam.

I am familiar with this product. It is not new. I will explain it, give a reference and tell you why it is more expensive, will require a prescription and why the research is not as good as the Zicam study. I am not going to trash the product, but I think you will agree after looking at the facts that JAMA has overhyped this prematurely and in the long run, it will NOT be a competitor for Zicam.

This actually opens the door for the medical community to hear about nasal remedies, so it may even be a long run advantage for Zicam.

My daughter goes to sleep in 90 minutes and I have not seen her all day, so I will start then. Expect to see my post by 10 PDT.

An amazingly astute and possibly prescient poster referenced Dr. Walker's work on GUMM message 333 on February 17 of this year <ggg>.
I agree, any publicity is good. Get the d--- product on the mass-marketer's shelves ASAP.
