The following is from
Dr. Schulze ’s Fall/Winter 2001 newsletter on Oscillococcinum.
When you have a COLD or FLU, DON’T eat DEAD ROTTEN DUCKS’ LIVERS
Homeopathic Remedies ARE NOT HERBAL MEDICINE. They are INVISIBLE MEDICINE. Although some are made from herbs, the majority are made from toxic or disgusting agents like human and animal pus, viruses, animal, reptile and insect parts, even fecal matter. (Sounds just like medicine doesn't it!) Then they are diluted to such an extreme when tested they don't seem to actually contain anything.
The very popular cold remedy, Oscillococcinum, is made to look like a drug, sold in health food stores, and when you ask anyone what the heck it is they'll usually say, oh it's Homeopathic, you know Herbal Medicine. Well it's far from Herbal Medicine, Oscillococcinum should actually be called R.T.B.L.D.D.L. because it is actually made from Rotten, Toxic, Bacteria Laden Dead Ducks' Livers. Not only have I never seen it work, I think IT'S DISGUSTING and DANGEROUS!
I do disagree with him saying that it doesn’t work. My wife and I have taken it many times and have had good results with it. But you have to take it at the very beginning of a cold or flu symptoms. We do not take it any more. Zapping works just as good. And it is not DISGUSTING.
