Thanks for sharing the info. Unfortunately, in the past 10-15 years a lot of medical centers, including very prestigious ones, have incorporated CAM in an effort to appease patients.
It’s good that they’re giving it a low rating, but it should be lower. It’s goose liver diluted until nothing remains. It was originally thought to treat flu because when dissected under a microscope, there were small coccus-shaped things in goose liver thought to resemble the microorganisms associated with flu. We now know that flu is caused by a virus that is invisible to those microscopes.
These is zero plausibility that Oscillococcinum or any other truly homeopathic cure (I’m excluding low dilutions like Zicam) even could work, so any evidence supporting it will be highly suspect.
That’s interesting. To provide a bit of insight, I think it has the rating that it does because it doesn’t appear to be overtly harmful (which makes sense if it’s just diluted liver), and lower ratings are reserved for dangerous supplements or those with many adverse effects/interactions with other things
