Magnetic Therapy

Ever since Our Fuzz's trip down the stairs, he has been having a bit of trouble with his shoulder and arm.  Things are getting so he can do pretty much what he wants to these days.  But there is still some discomfort in the old joints.

So when His Sweetie found these hematite beads* over at Sandy's, He decided to give it a shot.  It must be confessed that The Fuzz is  skeptical type.  But these things do seem to help a bit.  It may just be his imagination, but don't be surprised if you run into the old guy and he is wearing them.


*At one time- "Medical textbooks ... included magnetism as a therapeutic alternative for treating insomnia, migraine, fatigue, arthritis, and pain."

Granny Clampett Was Right

It seems that over in the UK they have discovered that Granny was on the right track with her "Rumitiz Medicine"

"Drinking alcohol can not only ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis it appears to reduce disease severity too..."

and,

"...patients who had drunk alcohol most frequently experienced less joint pain and swelling..."

and,

"We found that patients who had drunk alcohol most frequently had symptoms that were less severe than those who had never drunk alcohol or only drunk it infrequently."

I wonder if we could get this covered under this new Heath Care Legislation.

Now There's a Plan!

This just in....

"Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whiskey on their trip to Wales for next month's World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus, the head of the country's supporter association (VOB) said Monday."

The Fuzz says this sounds a lot better than getting a shot...

"That should cure all symptoms of the disease."

Hey, if it's good enough for the Ruskies, it's good enough for me. Maybe we don't really need this Health Reform after all.

водка

I am not pushing водка here, but I thought this was interesting.

The Fuzz's Sweetie sometimes worries about the various critters imbibing his antifreeze. This is real antifreeze, like one puts in a car or truck to keep from busting the block, or at least the radiator.

It seems a certain person, on a visit "Down Under", was either very stupid, or, very thirsty, and had himself a big drink of the stuff. It seems that the antidote for this stuff, is Vodka ! Who would have thunk or thought it !

Let me state at this point, that The Fuzz does not recommend this method for obtaining Vodka when one is a little short of funds or something like that. It does appear that this fellow survived, and is not blind or anything.

But now we all know that this "medicinal use" stuff is not BS. So go ahead, enjoy your водка.
