    A cure for MRSA discovered in a collection of "old wives tale" remedies from medieval times?

    A fusion of wine, garlic and cow bile!

    It's not April 1st - that's tomorrow.  In some areas this would be classed as "alternative treatment" Rolling Eyes  but current expert research and testing seems to accept its efficacy.
