In light of recent swine flu (H1N1) pandemic and the shortage of flu vaccines, many who can’t afford the vaccine (or simply can’t afford the 13 trillion hours spent standing in line waiting to be shot) have turned to home remedies.

Here’s the newest “it” thing with diet. Post the Acai berry/green tea craze, what else is new in weight loss? Cus you know the berry/tea combination didn’t work as well as Ophra claimed.
