1) Allergy sufferer find help from nasal
ointment
Research
showed that the product reduced the allergy attacks after equal
exposure. In theory, the pollen sticks to the ointment and does
not go up you nose. There must be something else about it
because "placebo ointment' (just as sticky) did not produce the
same results. Expect to see more on this.

2) I'll
take five pounds of "hooey"
Another
British homeopathic remedy found to have no effect when put to
scientific study.
Arnica
tablets found NOT to work against bruises. Maybe staying out of
NASCAR races, bar fights, rugby games, soccer matches or bull
runs would help!

3) Where
was THIS vaccine when the children were small?
New Step
vaccine appears like it will work. Expect the FDA to sit on it
for a few more years before making it available. This could save
billions of dollars in lost productivity for parents who must
stop EVERYTHING to take care of "Junior" when called from school
or daycare...

4) Uncle
Ely doesn't need any more help right now.
Eli Lilly has
announced a hiring freeze. When I lived in Indianapolis, Lilly
was considered a benevolent employer who gave to the community.
Hiring freeze is not "down sizing" but a common business
practice when corporate "numbers" are not what analysts expect.
