I worked out how much I was spending on vitamin supplements and used the money to go to see a hypnotherapist. He's convinced me that chocolate helps with colds, and now my colds always get better when I take chocolate. I also think I'm getting fewer colds.
The downside is I've had to cut back on fresh fruit and vegetables to pay for the dental bills.
