COLDEEZE is not a medicine. It is a highly absorbable form of zinc that boosts the immune system. It has been demonstrated to cut a typical 7 day cold to 3 days when taken AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD. When your throat first starts to feel scratchy (not after your nose is dripping and red), you start taking the lozenges every few hours (yes, zicam is also a good anti-viral, but I prefer CE). It really works.
I had to have surgery two years ago and a few days before the scheduled procedure I started to sneeze and get a sore throat. I knew they would never do the surgery if I got sick, and I had already been dreading it and didn’t want to put it off if I didn’t have to. In desperation I started to take the ColdEeze. In two days I was totally better, and two days after that (I first told my doc about the aborted cold), I had my surgery with no problem. B”H
