No runny nose - just bad cough caused by catarrh (salty) u throuat that needs coughing up. had bad cold in November last year and have suffered cough and phlegm ever since, nose like a bad case of hay fever. Had chest x rays, breathing checks, blow down tube etc all ok. Am now using Beconase (I think it is) up nose, anti histamine tablets, inhaler sometimes. honey, Jakemans, and still I have cough, but it is getting better. Dont mean to be nasty but glad to hear someone else is suffering. |

Chop a white onion, cover in brown sugar, and sip the liquid that collects at the bottom. Add snake oil to taste. Back in the day I used to put chopped onion in my socks, the theory being that it gets absorbed quicker through the soles of the feet. that would be amusing to see. |

However, it does mean his scientific mind is convinced there is an unknown force acting upon the trials. Nothing unknown about the placebo effect. Something established and hidden form Man since discussions in 1927. We've known about the placebo effect for a lot longer than that. Mustn't let ppl be convinced they can change something simply by thinking. Of course they can, if they couldn’t, there wouldn’t be any point in cognitive therapy. |

Not sure about its effectiveness, but the branch that opened near here is still going after a few years, not apparently a low cost treatment
