Can you tell me if this Zicam stuff works? I feel as if a cold is setting in and I will be flying next week (Skiing in Aspen, Bummer) but when I fly with a cold it always seems to get worse and last longer. I don't believe in all this Homeopathic crap but people I know who have used it swear by it.
Thanks, BS |

Zicam is a very dilute solution of Zinc (zincum gluconium). Acording to the Natural Medicine Comprehensive Database Zinc supplimentation may help reduce cold symptoms but there are a nearly equal number of studies show ineffectiveness as effectiveness, so it is a coin toss. I can give you no personal clinical experience in whether or not it may be helpful.
