Essential Does OTC Cold Medicine Work? With Dr. Nazalie Latefi

We ALL have taken it but…does OTC cold medicine work? While they crowd the cold/flu aisle of every drug store across America (and beyond), has there been any clinical trials showing that they actually work? This is a question I explored on a recentCauses or Cures Podcastwith Dr. Nazlie Latefi, and TRUST ME: You’ll want to listen to this before cold and flu season. You may be floored by what she says about the evidence for the OTC cold drugs that bring manufacturing companies millions of dollars a year, but you also will learn about a new way (and potentially better way) to address the common cold and other upper-airway viruses. In the podcast, I talk with Dr. Nazlie Latefi about her newresearchon an over-the-counter (OTC) product that takes a fresh approach to tackling cold symptoms. We explore how the common cold is defined, its massive economic impact, and the evidence base (or lack there of) for OTC cold medicine. Dr. Latefi, co-founder of Applied Biological Laboratories, discusses her innovative approach to treating the common cold and why her productBiovantais different from what’s currently available. She also reveals the promising results from a recent, multi-centered randomized controlled trial and shares insights into her ongoing research in respiratory mind-body health. Full disclosure: I started using Biovanta for when I start to feel cold symptoms. I also started traveling with it, because whenever I take a train, bus or plane, there is a high chance I’ll start to feel a virus blooming in my throat, ear or nose. I am not endorsing Biovanta, but I just want to be open with you guys and tell you that I do use it. If you decide to use it, that’s totally up to you. Who knows?
