Here's a well kept secret not available on the UK NHS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serrapeptase

I recently discovered this enzyme as I have had a very bad chest infection in the early part of this year and it has worked a treat. It basically digests any non-living tissue and acts as a pain killer. As such it has many applications.

This is a not an advert just something I thought you might like to be aware of if not already.

As wikipedia puts it " It was originally found being used by silkworms to aid digestion and dissolve its chrysalis"

So far absolutely no side effects apart from a splendid collection of Ties
