We just got the "re-up" data for the small business plan at my husband's work. They are increasing the premium for our current plan by more than $300 per month, plus increasing copays by $5 per visit. Ugly, awful, nasty. So we looked at other options, and will settle on one which costs...

Alright, enough is enough ;) This is the second full week I have had congestion and a light sore throat. Last Friday I thought that I was getting better, but whammo today. I've restarted Sudafed, tylenol, and the Echinacea tea. My question is simple: what herbal rememdies (and I am not going to...

My aunt sent me a link from the BBC showing that preliminary research shows that theobromine, found in good, dark chocolate and cocoa, is a cough suppressant. And since there's *also* research showing that women who eat chocolate in pregnancy have happier babies, well, a girl's gotta do what...
