He formed The Quigley Corporation in 1989, filed an S-18 registration and the company became a public entity on February 7, 1991, trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol (QGLY). He successfully developed and marketed the cold remedy zinc product under the franchise name Cold-Eeze, establishing the United States zinc-lozenge marketplace. The product continues to remain on the shelves of most outlets in the United States to this day. He lost the company in a bitter proxy fight and resigned from the company he created after twenty years as President/CEO on June 12, 2009. TQC (QGLY) was the most heavily shorted stock on Nasdaq for two years.
Update: Recently it has been discovered that a variation of the secret lozenge formulation can assist patients suffering with Barrett’s Esophagus, which leads to cancer of the esophagus. The research was conducted by the renowned Philadelphia Lankenau Institute of Medical Research who have lodged and has been issued a “use patent.” Guy Quigley has filed and received a “formulation patent.”
