I'm Joyce Dales, the CEO of Buzzagogo and the maker of Cold Bee Gone Nasal Swab Remedy. Cold Bee Gone is a little homemade, honey-based cold remedy that was created in my kitchen in 2009. My husband Jeffrey and I had just welcomed home our newly adopted daughter from Vietnam. Upon arriving home in New Hampshire, she was recovering from emergency open-heart surgery due to a legacy defect attributed to Agent Orange. She was considered immunocompromised and was at higher risk for complications from everyday germs. In order to protect her, I created Cold Bee Gone, a homeopathic, proprietary super honey blend that you swab in your nose to help fight cold and flu symptoms while also enhancing overall nasal biome and immune function.  I had learned that most illnesses start in the nose, and if your nose lacks healthy flora, you can be at increased risk of getting sick. My goal was to tackle the issue from every angle by alleviating symptoms of active illness while also enhancing what I like to call the “Booger Biome.” Today the entire world is getting a crash course in how the nose is where viral replication starts, and therefore it needs to be in top fighting form. My message about the importance of nasal immune health is timely, and Buzzagogo's products are in great demand. The company saw tremendous growth in 2020 as over 2/3rds of consumers shopping in the cough and cold category is looking for innovative alternative remedies. The pandemic has created shortages of mainstream products, and little companies like Buzzagogo are filling the gap. Buzzagogo has four products in over 10,000 stores, including CVS, TJMaxx, and Marshalls.  This cold and flu season combined with Covid has many families on edge, and we certainly understand that feeling. I hope my little home remedy can help take the fear and the sting out of every cold and flu season from here on out!
