It may be difficult to say and spell, but that doesn’t mean Oscillococcinum® (pronounced oh-sill-oh-cox-see-num) should be overlooked next time you’re sick. A patented homeopathic remedy, Oscillococcinum® has been clinically shown to improve flu symptoms such as fever, chills and body aches-and-pains.
Made from extracts of the liver and heart of the Barbary duck, Oscillococcinum® was founded in the 1930’s by Dr. Joseph Roy, who believed it contained a bacterium called “Oscillococcus”, which caused influenza. Although Roy’s theories proved incorrect, the remedy remained effective. It’s still being used worldwide for relief from common flu symptoms.
One study, reported in the British Journal of Pharmacology, showed that of 487 patients with the flu, 63 percent who had been given Oscilloccinum® showed marked improvement within 48 hours.
Oscilloccinum® is safe enough for children, and it’s easy to take—simply dissolve the contents of the dose-tube in your mouth every six hours, up to three times a day. For more information, or to request a brochure detailing results from the study mentioned above, visit www.oscillo.com.
One study does not prove a treatment. Homeopathy is based on an untested theory that "like treats like" . . . thus they use bird livers that can be laden with BIRD-FLU virus in their preparations.
Luckily for their customers homeopathy preparations dilute the active ingredient to the point that it doesn't exist in the product anymore. This is for real . . . they actually say it gets stronger that way! So, you are not likely to catch bird flu from the product . . . just waste $5 on a sugar pill. Literally, a sugar pill otherwise know as a placebo. They use lactose sugar as the granules!
