Do you still get this? If you do, is your April issue still lying around? I got April and May's issues at the same time and meant to keep around the April issue because it had some homeopathic remedies for allergies I was going to try. But, in a cleaning frenzy, I threw away the wrong one. If it's convenient, could you post the names of the things they suggested? There was one thing in particular, I want to say it was called bitterroot but I'm not sure. Thanks so much.

Sorry, I just took this to the gym (old magazines). I did find this on Dr. Weil's site:
