The C.A.M. Report
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point

  • About this web log

    This blog ran from 2006 to 2016 and was intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research.

Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here.

    Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

    It’s called WellPatch Cough & Cold Soothing Vapor Pads.

    It was intended to be applied to the throat or chest of children two years of age and older so they could inhale the vapors. Unfortunately, it was easy for the munchkins to remove the patch and place it in their mouths.
