Homeopathic Drugstore

Bill asked:


You may have heard the recent news that Zicam has been linked to permanent loss of smell because of zinc in the spray or nasal swab. The news reports also reveal that this “medicine” is based on homeopathic nonsense. I looked at a container of Zicam, and I didn’t see the words “homeopathic” or “zinc” anywhere on the bottle or box.

Does anyone know what other popular over-the-counter products are based on bogus homeopathy?

The Effectiveness of Zinc Preparations for Common Cold has Been Long In Question, Not Just Zicam:

I’m Not a Fan of Zicam, but Looks, Offhand, as “Damning By the Word”. If an “Expert” is Unable to Back Up their Words, then it Might as Well Be Magic. This is Commonplace. Many Times I’ve Heard Words By “Experts” Stated as Unequivocal, Which I Knew Couldn’t Possibly Be True.
Sorry lotusflower007, but What is the Mechanism of Anosmia?
Thanks gangadharan_nair, but These don’t Address the Question.
Thanks Very Much Peter.

I am a drug rep for a pharma company and have seen the tactics used to maximise profits. Campaigns are geared to promote on a Unique selling point. The information you leave behind for gp’s is glossy but by law you have to put POSSIBLE side effects etc on the back, and there are so many that sometimes you need a magnifying glass to get thru them all. Homeopathics are natural.

And yes before anyway argues, i know some pharma properties are discovered in plants.

Jawad Qureshi asked:


You are a manager at a large accounting firm. Recently, your insurance provider has offered a new package that you think will be beneficial for your employees and will also save the company money. However, your unionized employees are usually hesitant to allow any changes to their benefits package. You would like to convince them to agree to adopt this new package. The changes to their benefits would include:

• Increased yearly allowances for eye glasses
• Increased yearly allowances for dental care
• Extended benefits for family members
• No allowances for homeopathic or massage therapies
how to start ??
