Consumers
"Thank you for putting this on the market. My husband came down with the flu and would not take Oscillo--he was miserable for 3 days and finally decided he had to see a doctor. I took Oscillo when my symptoms appeared. I haven't been sick except for some very mild cold symptoms. I love your product and look forward to trying more of your products. Thanks so much. My husband wishes now that he'd taken it also."
—Katherine W., McCalla, Ala.
“I stumbled upon your product Oscillococcinum last year when both my husband and son became very ill with the flu. I have to be very careful with over-the-counter medicines for my husband as he takes several other medicines and I am always concerned that contraindications might occur. As Oscillococcinum is homeopathic, I felt it would be least likely to cause a contraindication. Another obstacle I face is getting my 5 years old son to take medicine. Generally giving him medicine is an all-out battle, with most of the medicine ending up all over the bed sheets, or down the front of him. But not with Oscillococcinum, he loves the crunchy texture and sweet taste.
Your product works like nothing I have ever seen. It is absolutely amazing. I have shared it with numerous friends, co-workers and family members. All of them have had significant relief of their symptoms after taking only one dose. I am such a believer in your product that I carry a box in my purse at all times. Thanks for making such a wonderful product!”
—Eline M., Calif.
Healthcare Professionals
“I've recommended Oscillo to patients for years and have seen very positive results. I especially like the fact that it's safe for the entire family—from two year olds to seniors—because it doesn't have side effects and won't interact with other drugs.”
—Robert Schiller, M.D., Department Chairman of Family Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, N.Y.
“The sooner you start treating flu-like symptoms, the better the chances for a quicker recovery. I highly recommend Oscillo as a first choice for self-treatment because it does not have the side effects such as drowsiness, or any potential interactions with medications or conditions that may prevent a person from taking traditional OTC drugs that contain antihistamines and decongestants. It's safe. It works quickly, easy to take for all family members and is available at most stores. As always if symptoms don't improve over the next 2 days, call your doctor.”
—James B. LaValle, RPh, CCN, ND, Cincinnati, OH, author of Cracking the Metabolic Code, and Smart Medicine for Healthier Living, and formerly one of American Druggist, “50 Most Influential Druggists”
“I feel good about recommending something that's both natural and regulated as a drug by the FDA. I've talked to the manufacturer and I also know that it's a quality product—manufactured according to standards.”
—Gary Kracoff, NMD, BS RPh, Johnson Drugs, Allston, Mass.
“As a French physician now practicing in the US, I'm comfortable with the long history of the product in Europe. In France, Oscillo has been around for more than 65 years and in recent years it has been the #1 over-the-counter flu medicine, not just in the homeopathic or natural category, but overall.”
—Chris Gilbert, MD, Torrance Calif.
