It's not pollen and it's not allergy.

I hurt, I ache, and I'm in Urgent Care waiting to see a doctor right now. Hopefully Tamiflu can do something for me because this isn't a common cold.
If and when I feel something coming on flu wise, I grab my Oscilloccium (Oscillo) takes care of it right away, nips it before goes full blown. Too too bad more don't know this remedy.

So, if this "drug" contains nothing beneficial to humans, how does it stay on the market? How is not false advertising involved here? I know FDA does not monitor homeopathy but doesn't anyone? Confused.

For Homeopathic items, as long as the manufacturer doesn't make claims, and it is a safe item, it is OK to sell. Buyer Beware, etc.

How long do germs stay harmful on a doorknob? Suitcase? Etc.?

You said you are a medical professional so taking a chance you might know the answer to this.

I agree totally.

It's very irritating when someone takes a banana and repeatedly claims it's an apple, knowing that eventually, after many such posts, someone will believe it's an apple. Thanks to suzyq for continuing to call a banana a banana.
