Here’s an excerpt from a post below: Popular "anti-cold" zinc based nasal sprays are being blamed for permanently destroying the sense of smell for thousands of users. Pending lawsuits claim zinc nasal spray users have permanently lost their senses of smell, but the damage may not be permanent afterall — thanks to a new nasal spray made with natural hot pepper extract. The Sinus Buster is the world’s first capsaicin based nasal spray, and it may actually reverse the damage reportedly caused by zinc nasal sprays. Altamont, NY (PR Web) April 12, 2004 — These days our busy lives make it tough to stop and smell the roses, but just imagine "never" being able to smell those roses even if you had the time. That’s the reality for more than 2 million Americans who have a condition known as "Anosmia". Anosmia sufferers either partially, or completely lose their sense of smell. Basically, Anosmia is to smell, as blindness is to sight. For a very few people it’s a congenital disorder starting at birth, but for most it’s due to a variety of sinus ailments. Chronic sinus conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis, and even allergies can all lead to anosmia. But there’s a new debate on the medical front concerning "anti-cold" nasal sprays containing Zincum Gluconicum, also known as Zinc Gluconate. The intranasal use of Zinc Gluconicum has been linked to anosmia for over 50 years yet it was somehow accepted as a safe OTC product, and heavily marketed during the 1990s. There are several brands out there, but the two most prominent ones are marketed under the names, "Cold-Eeze" and "Zicam". Both brands were approved by the FDA for over the counter sales as intranasal cold remedies, but there are thousands of Americans claiming these nasal sprays have destroyed their senses of smell. Attorneys representing former zinc nasal spray users claim Matrixx Initiatives Inc. and Quigley Inc., the manufacturers of Zicam and Cold-Eeze respectively, intentionally misled their customers concerning the known effects of intranasal zinc usage. Despite the knowledge that zinc can seriously affect the sense of smell and taste, manufacturers of these nasal sprays failed to warn their customers on their packaging and within their advertising. In fact, several class action lawsuits are presently in the works, and both sides are hunkering down for a long drawn out battle. The nasal spray makers, and the FDA both contend zinc based nasal sprays have not been proven to destroy one’s sense of smell. Yet it’s hard to explain the thousands of people who have lost their ability to smell after using a Zinc Gluconate based nasal spray. Lawsuits and court battles aside, there may be an amazing answer that could satisfy both parties in this delicate situation. It’s an all natural nasal spray made with hot pepper extract known as "The Sinus Buster". This nasal spray has been proven to bring back the sense of smell for a handful of users suffering from Anosmia. Good Luck, BTW I use Rhinocort AQ

I have bad allergies this spring and I am trying a product called Sneeze-eze. Has anyone tried it? It has an inert natural cellulose powder of vegetable origin in it. The powder is to be sniffed and it helps to restore protection to mucus lining of the nasal passages. Thanks
