First rule with FDA is NEVER trust FDA. Kennedy is going to disembowel them.

Some drugs work. One time i broke a bone, and whatever they put me on made me not feel pain for 2-3 hours.

Several decades ago while at work, I started developing flu-like symptoms. A co-worker friend offered her home, 10 minutes away, for me to go to as I lived about 30 minutes away. The only medicine she had was Tylenol 3. Within 2 hours all symptoms were gone and never returned.

Tylenol 3 used to have Codeine, maybe it still does. Codeine is an opiate related to morphine. I believe it is another drug that is now prescription only, and still subject to abuse.

i READ THE ARTICLE THIS MORNING. IT IS ONE, ONE INGREDIENT THAT DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE OR WORK AS A DECONGESTANT. The other ingredients do and there is no reason for the other ingrediant. Unless we find out what it really does. But the rest of those are good and do work. I have taken them.

However I don't want another thing in there for no reason. Benedryl is given in emergency situations too, yes it works. Again, this report is regarding ONE ingredient in these decongestants.

You realize that isn’t going to stop people from shilling whatever “Holistic” scam crap. And conspicuously omitting the context and content of the report right?

The meds shown all contain phenylephrine, marketed as Sudafed PE. The active ingredient in the original "real" Sudafed was pseudoephedrine which was very effective. I took it daily for years for chronic allergies. The problem with pseudoephedrine was that it was chemically close to methamphetamine and the easiest way to make crystal meth was to start with pseudoephedrine. There were problems with stores being bought out of pseudoephedrine, or all stock being stolen, to the point of trailer trucks full of pseudoephedrine being stolen to make meth.

To restrict the supply of meth, access to pseudoephedrine was restricted by either making it prescription-only, or put behind the pharmacy counter with a strict limit of how many mg of pseudoephedrine you could buy each month (they tracked purchases by your driver's license number).

If you suffer from allergies you already know that phenylephrine is useless. I'm happy to see they are acknowledging that fact. The video is misleading in that the other active ingredients in Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCl antihistamine) and Mucinex (guaifenesin expectorant) are still effective drugs.

This is correct. I have to buy my pseudoephedrine from behind the pharmacy counter because it's the only thing that works for my congestion. Phenylephrine is a joke and should be pulled off the shelves. But benadryl and mucinex still provide some relief for symptoms, at least for me. Which is better than nothing at all.

I find that kinda hard to believe for some of these medicines. Someone said in a previous post that they wondered if they are just pulling the good stuff to hurt us, in a sense? Like for instance, my wife is heavily against medicines. Severely. She believes in alternative healing methods though vitamins, etc, etc., but if she chose one on the shelf medicines, it would be DayQuil. We feel it’s proven itself in past several times. Like when her or the kids got sick, and everyone was getting the flu, she went to the DayQuil and never got to bad. Two days later they would be fine and everyone else was bedridden. This has happened many times. And that information came to her by a trusted source that also doesn’t believe in mainstream medicines. It’s just weird.

Several cold meds, the ones sold in Finland, seem to have vitamin C and maybe zinc in them, and presumably those might help at least a bit.

Treating symptoms is a good thing. I got the flu once when I was pregnant. It was horrid with only a humidifier for symptom relief.

Every drug has side effects also. Then they presscribe you drugs for the side effects.

Drugs for viruses don't work on the virus, they just mask symptoms. Taking a certain coattail of real quality vitamins, drinking green juice, drinking bone broth, these things tend to strengthen the body so it wins the war against the virus faster.

Vitamins are supposedly bullshit too

I take a select few, but I do wonder if it's more placebo effect than anything. {But even then, if you believe something works, it's probably doing something positive}

Most Vitamins aren’t “Bullshit” per se. They just aren’t in forms the body is capable of processing. So on paper you can call it a Vitamin supplement as it technically has X amount of (Insert Vitamin). When In reality there’s precious little the body can actually draw from it. Making it functionally useless.

Lots of legal loopholes and fine print in U.S Legal Codes. Allow Corporations and Companies to market products that don’t actually do what they claim they can do, or aren’t made of what they lead people to believe they’re made of.

Hence why some products marketed as Cheese for instance include “Cheese Product” or some similar fine print on the packaging. Despite all the advertising creating the impression it being real cheese

I read an entire dissertation showing how, let's say vitamin C for instance, actually contains zero vitamin C.

If you read the vitamin C label, it states "vitamin C in form of {insert chemical here}", which i never knew prior.

Even though it may seem obvious, it kind of woke me up

Most are, which is why i specified quality, you can essentially make your own with the right tools and knowledge. once i get my freezedryer i'll be making all of my own vitamins.

You can do both and wait for the virus to go wherever viruses go. Since I have been taking horse paste for 2 or 3 days every 10 days, no cold, no flu, no sinus infection.

Since doing pemf daily, there are none of the above for me either, anything that makes the body stronger so it can fight off things like it was designed to do will work.

Aspirin does a lot, because of its pro metabolic properties.

Vitamin D does a lot as well.

I didn't know people didn't know this. Yes- big Pharmacy evil, ok. Yet, otc cold and flu medicines always speak to alleviating symptoms and to getting rid of the bacteria or virus. No trick here, just people not listening to what is stated and imagining their assumptions are being said.

You know what actually works? Fire cyder it is an old amish recipe that works in minutes and will cure "oops i said it cold flu" and is all good for you, look it up Fire Cyder easy to make takes about 1 mo. to make 1/2 gallon and will last.

Horseradish, ginger, apple cyder vinegar with mother, cayenne pepper, garlic, optional high proof beverage of choice.

My mother in law 81 yrs old had a very bad cold flu could not hardly talk weak and I asked if she would like to get better I could not believe she agreed to it, all about the DR's you know. Next morning was completely better. I take whenever I start to feel like a cold or flu starting all good. Have a great and healthy life all you wonderful PEDES.

From my perspective:

The cold and flu are the bodies normal responses to purging toxins from its system.

From my experience it's triggered by excess toxins or periodically by sunlight or the lack there of.

The runny nose? It's necessary. The fever? Necessary.

We can do things to make these more comfortable but these processes must happen. Drink your water and go through your bodies natural purge.

Once aware of this, you can almost see how polluted you were living between colds, flus. You can also see why flu shots are flu season are around the time of day light savings. The quick shift usually triggers your seasonal purge.

Placebo effect is real. But it also seems to fade with time, when a new drug is tested they work better, then years later maybe not at all.

So who knows how much of the drugs actually would work if they were given to people while being told that it's NOT very effective - except nocebo effect is also real, it kind of almost seem that whatever you manage to convince somebody to truly, fully think about a drug will happen.
