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.
He's talked you into a racing diet of cheese and port too by the sounds of it. I've started eating broccili for it's repairative agents, it also has more vitamin c than other stuff. The downside is the farting; i go through about 2/3 broccili heads a week which has a noticable effect on flatulence. During my 1hr pilates class i'm constantly working the cheeks, but pilates teaches you tricks like that so i'm doing well so far and haven't yet released any air biscuits by mistake.
