Episode 9
When Scottish couple Sheila and Michael took out a pre-payment funeral plan, they thought they were helping to make things easier for friends and relatives. But a visit from the police some months later revealed that they were one of tens of people ripped off by the undertaker, who had simply stolen their money.
Plus, faecal transplants. Using someone else's poo to improve gut health sounds like complete quackery. But in fact, it's at the forefront of modern medicine. We hear how the NHS stores donor poo in a -80°C freezer for up to six months before transplanting it into patients with gut problems. The results are truly astonishing.
And the annual misery of hay fever. We look into what really works when it comes to the seasonal-sneezing-and-snot-fest and find out why local honey isn't the cure many believe it to be.
Also, the dangerous side of diet pills. We meet a mother whose daughter tragically died after taking the illegal weight-loss drug DNP.
And we get to the bottom of an age-old question. Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
