Eby's ColdCure Zinc Acetate Lozenges

I have upset a quack. (8/5/2010)
Imagine that! Someone who has a cure for the common cold is taking time out from polishing his Nobel Prize to complain to me for not taking him seriously. I assume he has a Nobel, because he has solved one of the great mysteries of medicine and found a cure for the disease that probably causes more lost productivity in the work place than any other. The Holy Grail of medicine - the cure for the cold.

Hi Peter,

Hi George, I like your informality.

You list my site http://coldcure.com as a fraud.  It is not a fraud.  See the site and check out the links for evidence.  The entire site is devoted to displaying the evidence that I am right.  This means independent collaboration of my findings.  Perhaps the best medical journal article to show you that I am right is found at:   http://coldcure.com/html/zinc-lozenges-as-cure-for-common-cold.pdf

That's the best medical journal article? Something written by you and published in Medical Hypotheses? Please don't ask me to read the worst article. Oh, by the way, my weeping eyes and shortness of breath aren't symptoms of a cold - I'm just laughing so hard at you. Medical Hypotheses! I have to stop or I'll need Ventolin.

I expect you to immediately remove my site from your list or face a lawsuit.

You expect too much.

George Eby, site owner
