Cure for the cold?

Cure for the cold? Is this really worth it? If all it does is "make a runny nose completely clear up a day sooner than usual," it hardly seems worth burdening your system with another drug. Seems like a ridiculous waste or research effort to me. But I guess there is money to be made, even from inefficacious drugs.

I use Oscillococcinum .. herbal drug #1 flu medicine in Europe.. starting to catch on in the USA.. it really does work so long as you start it at the first signs of sickness.. find it any grocery store even some 7-11s now. Its been around for decades only now starting to become popular in the USA. I know people who havnt been sick in years using this.
