It's a sign of the time when even rims are now made of plastic. What's next a plastic engine?

A comment on Homeopathic or "Natural" Remedies Carry Risks

L. Mclean — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:40:24 GMT

Zicam is not really a homeopathic product. Everyone seems to be confused and in error about this. The Zinc gluconate is at a 2x potency which is almost a material dose of Zinc gluconate whereas normally homeopathic medicine is much more dilute. 2x means that the zinc gluconate has had 9 drops added to it and then shaken (succussed). Then one drop of that has had a further 9 drops added and shaken. It has only been diluted/potentised twice and at 1 to 9 (i.e. the decimal potency, rather than the centesimal potency - 1 to 100 normally used for homeopathic preparations).

So yes, people were sniffing zinc gluconate in a fairly undiluted form which would possibly cause harm.

Normally homeopathic products are at least a 6x potency. Bach flower essences (i.e. Rescue Remedy, etc.) are all 5x potencies but they are made from flower essences and so fairly harmless.

There is also the 'c' or centesimal potency which is considered standard homeopathy which has been diluted and shaken (potentised) 1 to 99 drops.

This is really scary considering how popular the Rhino's are becoming nationwide. Hopefully future designs can correct this flaw as it seems to be very serious.

A comment on Contact Lens Solution Recalled Due to Possible Contamination

The recall was NOT due to a possible contamination of the Complete product. Complete DOES NOT cause the infection. More than 40% of AK patients use different products. The source of the infection is unknown.
