Don't know anything about Oscillococcinum, but I do know that oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu) gave me a textbook case of the "confusion, or abnormal behavior" they list as a side effect.

Ended up regaining consciousness about 36 hours after the first dose. Found myself barricaded in the corner of my bedroom, hiding because "they" were coming to get me. Threw away the remaining doses and recovered over the next couple of days using saltines, ginger ale, and, finally, some chicken noodle soup.

Worked for me, had kid coughing in my face with flu and took this. Didn’t catch it. No side effects.

Took Tamiflu a few years ago and after the first day I stopped, that shite made me feel worse than the flu. Wife also took it last week as prophylactic at dr’s request and made her sick as shite.

Not sure. Did you ever see the RKJ, jr clip on Flu vaccines?


RFK attended law school, not medical school. Please don’t listen to anything he says about health care.

As mentioned several times, Xofluza is the only medication worth a damn. And by worth a damn, I mean worth EVERY DAMN PENNY.

My ten year old just came down with the flu last Wednesday afternoon. Took the Xofluza pill ($100 after insurance and coupon) and by Thursday afternoon he was moving around a bit, eating. Friday was light-years better and Saturday was completely normal and back in the boat hunting and fishing all day.

If you got shite to do, go Xofluza. If not, just ride it out.

I can’t take Tamiflu either. Felt like I was walking around dazed and in a fog.

apparently, everyone is....

wife said that our pharmacies are being limited to 24 per day when ordering, and those are gone by noon, every single day...

i'm a clinical pharmacist at a closed door pharmacy, so i really had no idea the flu was going around as bad as it apparently is...

I agree with him on additives in our food, etc. But when it comes to vaccines, he's out of his realm and comes off as nuttier than squirrel shite.


So he's correct about one major industry poisoning their products and not caring for profit but another major industry is altruistic and should be trusted that they would never do the same and profit from faulty products?

Mind saying what insurance company?
I have Blue Cross.
Their website says it’s covered, but the pharmacist says it’s pulling up that it doesn’t.
