UV Whitening System
The other day as I was browsing online I noticed an ad for a ‘revolutionary’ tooth whitening system. They claimed it worked better than going to the dentist and that it was far less expensive. I admit I was somewhat intrigued by the idea, keep in mind my teeth …
AZO Yeast Relief Tablets
These tablets are a homeopathic remedy for moderate vaginal yeast infections.
They come in garlic or garlic free varieties. I like these better than the creams simply due to their convenient nature, however, the curative properties of these tablets are a joke. I do not think that they work …

Nexium
I’ve been taking Nexium (40 mg) for about four years now, every since my heartburn got to the point where I literally couldn’t eat anything without severe pain and burning. The over-the-counter antacids, such as Tums and Rolaids and Prevacid, were almost totally ineffective, so I finally broke …
Metamucil Smooth Texture Fiber

Icy Hot No-Mess Vapor Gel as a Maximum Strength Cough Suppressant
This is one strange product, I’ll say, because it was so unexpected to find. I’ve always thought of Icy Hot products as something you use for sore muscles and things like that and never once attributed it with a cough suppressant. It kind of makes me think that Icy …

Delsym

Coricidin HBP Cold & Flu for People with High Blood Pressure
They aren’t kidding when it’s said that high blood pressure is the silent killer, because when I went to the doctor for the flu, I didn’t even know that I had high blood pressure. It was a pretty high 160/ 140 though, and my doctor wanted to watch me …
Beecham’s All in 1 Medicine

Unfortunately for me, heartburn follows me through life. I have had a problem with it ever since I had my first child. That would be about 5 years. Over the years I have taken Alka-Seltzer as my number one choice. However during my pregnancy alka-seltzer was not permitted. For …
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% Oral Rinse

Yasmin
After a year of using another brand of contraceptive pills, my doctor suggested that I try Yasmin, since I need a pill with an anti-androgen in it.
