Volunteers needed for an unique study.
Can we prevent the Common Cold with an intranasal cellulose and garlic combination?
A double blind placebo controlled multi-centre pilot study.
Conducted by Professor R Hiltunen University of Helsinki, Finland and PD Josling, BSc Herbal Research Centre, UK
We are looking for 100 volunteers to take part in a study designed to help people stop catching a cold this winter

We shall be using a brand new Nasaleze formulation – one that has had wild garlic added to it!
All you will need to do is take one puff up each nostril every day for 8 weeks to see if this prevents you from catching that winter cold! Half the volunteers will be taking a placebo and the other half will be using Nasaleze Cold Prevention.

The common cold is the world’s most widespread viral infection, with most people suffering approximately two to five colds per year. Over 200 different viruses cause infection and cold symptoms; the most common, rhinoviruses, account for 30% to 40% of adult colds. Re-infection is prevalent because of this wide variety of infectious viruses.
Published literature on the activity of garlic against viral infections is sparse.
One report describes that during an influenza epidemic, the former Soviet Union imported more than 500 tons of garlic cloves for acute treatment. Among the viruses sensitive to garlic extracts are the human cytomegalovirus, human rhinovirus type 2, herpes simplex types 1 and 2, and influenza B. Evidence points toward allicin and its condensation product ajoene as the main components in garlic responsible for this antiviral activity, many consumers take garlic supplements orally as a preventive and report an absence of colds or symptoms associated with viral replication.
A ‘cure’ for the common cold would substantially reduce the number of work days lost each year as a result of the classic symptoms of infection - tiredness, headaches, a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, and impaired concentration. The many garlic supplements marketed in the United Kingdom, United States, and Europe vary widely by type and definition of active constituents. Increasing evidence has shown that certain forms of supplement may have significant beneficial properties, and with advent of a unique natural carrier ‘Nasaleze’ and a patented delivery device combined with a leading wild garlic extract we hope that this combination will provide the universally recognized active constituents directly into the nasal epithelium where they will stay for a number of hours. This will therefore offer a simple preventative solution to the large reservoir of viral infection that travels around the globe.
We shall be EXCLUDING anyone who has had a flu vaccination or is currently taking supplements that include garlic, vitamin C, Echinacea or zinc.
We need your support so we can continue to put real science behind these natural treatments that so many people want to use instead of pharmaceutical agents.
