Boiron Oscillococcinum Doses, 6-Count Boxes
Our family doctor told me that a bottle of whisky is a better flu remedy than any of this homeopathic mumbo-jumbo. He recommended a yearly flu shot as the best preventative. At least a flu shot has some science behind it…

Never got the product…it was to arrive on the 12th…so I called on the 12th and it was a great experience. A real person answered the phone after 2 rings and refunded my money immediately also sent a voucher ($20.) toward future purchase and a free shipping label in the event that the product came and needed to be returned. The Seller was Discount Vitamins. They understand the meaning of CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Take any positive reviews of this product with a huge grain of salt!
It’s amazing that people are suckered into buying this product. The active ingredients listed on the package are “Anas Barbariae Hepatis Et Cordis Extractum 200 CK HPUS” For most folks unfamiliar with Latin, that sounds like it’s gotta be some miracle drug, right? Here’s the true story.
Since 1925, Oscillococcinum has been prepared as follows. Into a one litre bottle, a mixture of pancreatic juice and glucose is poured. Next a Barbary duck (that’s the “Anas Barbariae”) is decapitated and 35 grams of its liver and 15 grams of its heart are put into the bottle (that’s the “Hepatis Et Cordis”). After 40 days in the sterile bottle, liver and heart disintegrate into a kind of goo, which is then diluted with water into the entire world production of Oscillococcinum for the year.
There’s no logical reason to believe that anything in duck liver or heart will be an effective flu remedy. But even if there were some magic substance, the manufacturing process guarantees that it will not be in the finished product. The laws of chemistry indicate that after the 12th dilution, it is unlikely that a single molecule from the original organs will remain. Moreover, at the dilutions that Boiron indicates on their packaging (that’s the “200 CK HPUS” part) the concentration of the original substance would be 1 part in 100^200, which is a 1 followed by 400 zeroes. A 1 followed by 100 zeroes is called a googol. The estimated number of particles in the universe that we can see is a googol, give or take a few zeroes. So in order for one of the original duck molecules to be present in a container of Oscillococcinum, the mass of that container would have to be about a googol googol googol times our world, which would be incomprehensibly larger than the visible universe.
A little research is all it takes to discover that there isn’t a SINGLE reputable scientific study demonstrating the efficacy of this product. And even assuming that the “active ingredients” (duck heart and liver) have any effect on the flu, remember that by spending your $16 on a container of goose liver pate and crackers, you’ll be getting a dose of duck organs that’s billions of times stronger than what goes into this so-called “drug”. All things considered, your money is better invested in a flu shot BEFORE flu season starts.

When I first heard of homeopathy I thought it was some kind of new fashionable thing that will go away soon. But I thought I should go and read some more. However, I didn’t go that far reading how exactly specific remedies were being prepared.
Still sceptical I tried Oscillococcinum when I was really sick and it put me back on my feet in a day. Since then I always keep a pack nearby and take it when I feel the first signs of flu.
What I like best is that there are no side effects and as with all homeopathic substances you can never overdose.
I recommend this remedy to everyone.
It works best if you can avoid coffee, alcohol and mint toothpaste while taking it.

How this product works is simple, and not unlike a GENLTLE flu shot. The small candy like pellets have a very small amount of flu virus in them. They activate your anti-bodies to better fight off any flu, sore throat, etc. My family and I have used it for 15 years and I have seen amazing results. I have recommended it to many friends. The only people who have had less than great results are heavy drinkers. Give it a try….it is worth a few $$ not to spend days in bed!
