This is what youtube needs more of not crappy influencers

ASMR cold and flu pharmaceuticals. Bold move YouTube algorithm. But you did it again!

I was a pharmacy technician for 15 years, and this young guy knows his stuff, and is correct in what he’s saying about a lot of these drugs. I love this kid! He’s a very geeky smart young guy. Listen to your pharmacist! They go to school for up to 6 years and have a PhD. When you want to know what to take, ask your pharmacist.
Dr’s only get a class during a semester at med school.

I am trying to listen to the video in it's entirety but I feel like I am slowly being hypnotized with his voice...😊.

This guy needs to be in charge of the World Health Organization.

I'm a hospital RN and pharmacists are the best - under appreciated by most people.

I take zinc every time I get a cold and I'm usually blown away by how well it works.

[aaronmcintosh]

Zinc ! My grandfather, who just passed away at 105, was a big believer in zinc.

Please don’t let the resulting fame of your hard work change your perception of reality. You are doing great things for us and we need you to continue just being yourself. Thank you for being so relatable and kind.

Just a heads up for zinc (esp those with sensitive stomachs) don’t take it on empty stomach.

I feel asleep six times trying to listen to this. Such good sleep!

Grant you could be a reader, your soft voice is so soothing.

As a guy with no insurance and no regular doctor, I wholly appreciate this video. My mother has a bad sounding cough that she swears is just from nasal drip. This video gave me enough information to say "Mom, watch this video, but check these things against your medications for adverse reactions!"

I do regret not knowing what her medications are. I should know more than basic functions of them.

You are doing the Lord's work my dude. I lost my job recently and insurance ended last month. The options you mentioned are so much cheaper and easier to get. Thank you!

[newkbox]

At least this channel can cure insomnia. Not because it’s boring, it’s soothing listening to him.

[josiahcooper]

Thanks for talking so softly I have a ripping headache

[jjhassy]

I love people in very specific niches that make my life better. You are the first pharmacist YouTuber I've ever watched.

Walmart has 40 ibuprofen tablets for $1.00. It is still cheaper to buy the bigger bottles, but a dollar is pretty hard to beat if you don’t use more than 40 tablets in a year.
