No More Meat

OK, just a little bit. A run to Jack-in-the-Box there, an indulgence in Tony Roma's here, but yeah I'm going to cut back and start eating more vegetables for a few reasons:

1) the antioxidants in vegetables get your blood flowing
2) my teeth, particularly my canines will get flatter and thus I'll look less like a Pleistocene-aged human carnivore and more like a civilized, product-of-culture person today
3) meat is basically the used up vitamins dead animals take from vegetables, so why not go straight to the source

So those reasons are enough to tell me that I should eat more veggies.

I truly believe that my shit won't stink after having gone through this transformation from a carnivore to an herbivore.

Quick Headache Relief ?

I don't know if this is placebo or has an actual physiological basis. I'm no biochemist yo.

Yesterday I drank a lot of Dole's Pineapple Juice because I figured that all that acid would give me a lot of energy and help me stay up and study for the 2 fucking midterms I had yesterday. I did. Maybe it also had something to do with sitting on a table rather than on my bed, but I still had a lot of juice enough to affect my performance. "A lot" being the key phrase, denoting "overdose."

And so with all those acids in my body, I not only stayed up and studied but I got one meanass headache that made me feel like I just got braces, except wrapped around my entire head. I should stop describing that before I relapse into that feeling. With that fuckin' headache I was barely able to find out what exactly sarsaparilla and the "holy wood" actually were. It was fitting that I was studying for the History of Medicine that I try to come up with relief of my own for my own headache.

But anyway I attributed that meanass headache to the over-consumption of acids.

So how to counter acids ?

Base !

What has base ?

Milk !

So I drank a healthy cup of milk even though 2/9th of me wanted to puke it out. I knocked out about a 5 minutes afterwards and woke up about an hour or two later. And voila. . .headache gone.

I shall do further experimentation, but no, I'm not going to guinea pig myself. So next time I have a headache. It's on brudda.

My Own DOS and DONTS for How to Deal with Strep Throat

Ya'll know that I'm no doctor. But based on my horrible experience, I think I've learned a bit in treating/fighting/curing strep throat.

DO

- Get your antibiotics RIGHT AWAY or else you'll be in your own personal hell. If you're cool with the extreme pain of not being able to ingest anything solid, then you do not need go further !

But if you want to alleviate pain and discomfort. . .

- Drink tea with honey and/or drink something. Worked the first time.

- Take ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin IB). Tylenol's acemeta-whatever sucks shit.

- Get fresh air

- Sleep with back against wall. Don't fully lie your back down.

Do NOT:

- Eat anything acidic like oranges or drink anything acidic like orange juice. Contrary to popular belief, for strep throat, that shit just irritates the hell out of your throat.

- Tylenol liquid stuff that says for Sore Throat. They mean sore throat, not Strep Throat, and you'll probably get sore throat after you start taking it. The difference between sore throat and strep throat is that in sore throat, that miniature-punching bag in the back of your throat starts to sag. Strep throat is when there's like shit happening behind that punching bag.
