Clinton -

Apparently my newsless paper must have seriously edited or just stole the headline, but the headline was identical. I did try your link but was temporarily unable to connect. Since the headlines were the same, I did assume it was the same article.

My own experience is that over the counter meds do work better in many cases than what my various doctors have recommended; but that's a personal observation. The multi-symptom-cures-everything-high-priced stuff is NOT what I use, since to help the problem you have you have no choice but to overdose things you don't. It does get hard to find anything except the currently popular junk on the shelf at the retailers. My approach is that if it's advertised on tv it's probably useless (for me), and I've had little problem with that approach.
