xl3 cold medicine :: Article Creator Which Cold Remedies Actually Work — If Any? Experts Weigh In Wander down the cold-medicine aisle in any drugstore and you'll find an eye-watering variety of pills, capsules, nasal sprays and potions. Do any of them really work? That's a legitimate question following the September announcement from the Food and Drug Administration that phenylephrine — an ingredient in dozens of cold and allergy meds — is worthless as a decongestant. In the wake of that news, major pharmacy chains like CVS began pulling products made with phenylephrine off their shelves. So, if you get a cold, are there any alternatives?

"Most of the things out there — antihistamines, decongestants, cough medicines — none o...

the worst plagues in history :: Article Creator The Black Death Subscribe to Christianity Today and get instant access to past issues of Christian History! Catherine of Siena was born in 1347. That year, according to writer Charles L. Mee, Jr., "in all likelihood, a flea riding on the hide of a black rat entered the Italian port of Messina.… The flea had a gut full of the bacillus Yersinia pestis." With that rat, flea, and bacillus, came the most feared plague on record.
