On “safe and effective”. /1 
FDA is ill suited to guard your interest nor it is positioned to evaluate or decide if a particular therapy is of any benefit to you in the best of circumstances. /2
In case of benevolent liking of potions, there is hypothetically a small subset in a population for whom any cold presents danger and potion might offer a benefit providing they don’t possess personal physiological quirks that will make a potion harmful for them. /3
That small subset in the present time US and A is located in the 50-70 range with some factors that predispose them to poor ways to deal with illness. It is not all people in that age range. It is a small unknown unidentifiable number within. /4
If we lived in a sci-fi fairy tale, we would identify those who would definitely succumb to a cold, definitely wouldn’t have an adverse effect to a drug, thus definitely would derive very meaningful positive effect of avoiding dire straits. /5
Outside of that age range those who could theoretically benefit from a drug is so abysmally low, you’d be looking for needles in haystacks. With fairy tale budget and resources, you could look for needles in haystacks. But for now - napalm it is. /6
What can one reasonably expect in a God forsaken place that denies the divine nature of man? /7
