SYNOPSIS

The people of Britain spend £2.3billion every year on over-the-counter medicines for common ailments. But are they really worth the money?

He also explains the causes of common afflictions and seeks the truth behind long-held myths, including whether curry does cause indigestion and if honey and lemon really is just as effective as cough syrup.
