I was hoping you were around. Looking forward to hearing from you. And feel free to trash tremacamra if you want...I certainly won't be offended. ; )

Well, it looks like X-ray vision has the reference to this already. This demonstrates that tremacamra is not new. It has been around for a over a year and is still experimental. It needs FDA approval. GelTech is aware of this drug; I discussed it by e-mail months ago. (In addition, there are a couple of other drugs out there that are prescription, but are not quite at this mechanism of action: believe it or not, they are actually more crude and further behind Zicam than is this Tremacamra - like Tremacamra, though, they are years away from real trials and they will be obviated once Zicam is widely used).

Why Zicam is better than Tremacamra:
ZICAM
inexpensive
nonprescription
on the shelf
stable
better clinical results
--------------
TREMACAMRA
expensive
prescription
may never get on the shelf
results similar to cold-eze
protein- sensitive to heat; shorter shelf life

That's it in a nutshell. I will post next post how each remedy is made and how each works; then, I will go into detail to explain the above, although much of it will be apparent after you understand how each material is made and the mechanism of action.
