I too have had the same experience, I make sure to get several boxes of Oscillo at the beginning of winter. I have gone 3 winters now with not being “sick” for more than a period of one evening. I tell everyone I know, not that anyone listens to me, they think it’s quackery, and I say, okay well I haven’t had the flu or cold for 3 winters, how are you doing?

When I tried Oscillococcinum , I thought it was real medicine and had no knowlege of Homopathy or the process of said. I am afraid it didn’t work even though I followed the directions to the letter. And yes, I had early stages of the flu. When it comes to the kids , adults,and animals our own belief in a system /body language has effect on how others feel . just like having a kind empathic person around can make people forget about pain ,feel , or fight whatever off as it lowers stress levels and relases endorpins. and allows you to relax and for your heart to pump adequate amount of blood throughtout the body ( capillaries are filled at this time) and give the cells and tissues nutients , oxygen and doesn’t allow the waste products ( of cells) to build up .When stressed ,worried, one can casue your heart is not pumping adequate amount of o2 , not filling capiaries and waste not being removed from cells) and this can casue one go down hill or etc.. why, mood can effect your health.

. Having a postive outlook , eating healthy ( vegies, friuts, meats, and etc) working out , and not over medicating for every little thing is the best course you can go.and if you pull the big pharm only wants money card you have to relize that homopathic comps want your money also.. it is a business and they want money… this is a bad joke but… everyone of you ( homopathic or whatever) are drug addicts cause you all need oxygen! lol and oxygen is a classified drug.. know though air is not like o2 you get in the green tanks but still;) must tell me how a pure source of water is obtain if water has a memory?

My daughter had flu and after two courses of antibiotics there was no improvement in her condition. I gave her Oscillococcinum and within hours her fever broke and she was able to get out of bed. It is almost 8 months and she has had no flu symptoms. I have always believed in homeopathic treatment and will continue to use Oscillococcinum!

I didn’t realize that homeopathic medicine is based on “energy” mumbo jumbo. I usually avoid it since I have more faith in something someone studied for years in a laboratory but now that I know exactly what homeopathic medicines are I will avoid them even more!!

May as well strap a cellphone to your head – plenty more energy there!

To the person above who is saying that no one can explain how or why this works, and then implies that this means that it is “unscientific” to think that it does, I have one word for you – gravity. Gravity has been studied, the effects seen and observed, etc… for centuries and yet no one, not even Einstein knows what it actually is, just that it is. I mention this because it is not good science to say that, “something has not been proven to be true, therefore it isn’t true.” Time and again the paradigm has shifted for things that were previously unproven.

Those posting that say Oscill. is working because of the placebo effect don’t understand homeopathy. There is a study where viral particles were introduced into a pure water solution and then filtered with filtering so fine that no viral particles remained. White blood cells were introduced to the water, and they made antibodies to the virus that was no longer there. Clearly there is something going on with water that isn’t explained by a Newtonian particle-based model of things. Those of you who are taking a smug attitude which you are certain is based on science should contemplate quantum physics. Is that leg you think you are standing on truly solid?

This is in response to Chris and others like him. You have bought so heavily into the the big pharma lie that it clouds your thinking. You have put so much effort into refuting something that you don’t like, for what reason? Ok, you don’t like or believe in homeopathic medicine, fine. But then why are you even on this Natural Health website?!?! It leads me to ask what is your conection to the pharmaceutical industry?

And Ted, you pulled that tripe directly from wikipedia’s website. Hardly a trusted and reliable source.

If something makes you feel better then guess what – IT WORKS!

Four days ago I really got sick with sinusitis and had all the flu symptoms as well as a post nasal drip. My friend suggested Oscillo and since I took the first vial I was feeling better! No more coughing, no post nasal drip, no fever, no body aches or head aches! This stuff really works!

I was introduced to homoeopathy just over 25 years ago after being treated for 12 years by conventional doctors for a problem with no success and gradually getting worse to the extent it was depressing me.
I went to a homoepathic doctor in Liverpool who uses an E.A.V. vol machine and my problem was identified that very afternoon. I was given two different remedies to take and my recovery took off from there and to this day the problem has never returned.
My elderly mother-in-law became ill 3 years ago when her legs became very swollen and she was having black outs. She attended her G.P. and as she is one of the old school who has their doctor on a pedestal and obeys everything they say to the letter would not be talked into going to Liverpool. She was sent to see various specialist at her local hospital over the period of 16 months and was fimnally signed off in as bad a state as the first day she went to them as they could not find out what was wrong with her. She was just told if it got much worse to go back to her doctor. By this stage she was frightened to leave the house because of the blackouts. She now agreed to go to see our homoeopathic doctor in Liverpool and once again he made a diagnosis of her problem at her first visit, gave her the necessary remedies, changed her diet and in no time the swelling was down and she had no more black outs. After a year of feeling great and problem free she stopped the visits altogether and no more remedies and guess what. Within a year her symptoms were all back.
What I am trying to express here is that whether you believe or not that homoeopathy works. Or even if you think it is just a placebo effect. Who cares. Bring it on if it gets you better. In fact who needs doctors when this placebo effect can work so well with no damage to any of your vital organs through overuse of orthodox remedies. My two sons are living proof of this. The older one is 29 years and the younger 20 years and in their whole lives they have both only had one antibiotic and the older one only because he wanted time off work for a chest infection and as we were on holiday at the time, he thought he would get away with it. I don’t even think he took the antibiotics but he did take the sick line. Neither of them had time off work or school as I always had a remedy that would sort them out.
By the way, my guy in Liverpool was able to tell me within hours of conception with my youngest child, that I was pregnant. You might ask how do I know that. I am fully aware of my fertility and when ovulation was occurring and at that time it had happened between the evening of Wednesday 13th February 1991 and the next morning of the 14th February. My appointment was at 2.30pm on the 14th and my son was born 7 days late on 15th November 1991. No doctor could have told you that, then. It is all on record and I have witnesses. I think my GP, was a little disbelieving when I told her but according to my homoeopathic doctor in Liverpool, it shows up as new energy on his machine. Quite amazing eh? Im hooked.
My own parents are 83 yrs young, on no orthodox medication and have managed to escape the diseases of old age. Both perfectly healthy, fit, active and in fact run after their grandchildren and great grandchildren with amazing gusto. All they use is homoeopathy. They do visit their GP on occassions but just to let them know they are still alive. They don’t take the flu vaccine now but do take the occillo starting about October every year as a preventative.

Hi!
I’d like to tell you about my experience with this product. I am almost seven months pregnant and got the flu so badly that even after antibiotics(which i was desperate enough to take) I was still very sick. Let me tell you being pregnant and sick is possibly the worst you will feel ever! I have been taking this Oscillo for three days and feeling so much better. I don’t really care if it’s placebo or whatever, fact is that once you’ve felt it work for you there is no way you’ll try anything else. I just wish I knew about it sooner.

Thought: Some people don’t like Brand A vs. Brand B, and all the while…the ingredients are identical but the packaging and advertisement are different.
Could it actually be that each person is different? Might there be a chance that it works for one person and not the next based on individual mind/body? If it works for you…take it again — If it doesn’t…try something else. Some people like cough syrup, while some prefer capsules. Personally, if I don’t have a problem eating duck liver diluted to the whatever degree AND it aides OR fools my mind/body into feeling better — Seconds please!
