Green tea, flax seed and fish oil have all been recommended to me as natural, heart healthy alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs by their various wide-eyed proselytizers. Alas, I have had zero faith in nature's remedies ever since a liquid mixture of eucalyptus, echinacea and zinc (a foul tasting concoction that even a mad scientist would think twice about before drinking) failed to have any effect whatsoever on an annoying cough I was stricken with one winter.
In fact, whenever some sort of medicinal root or herb is mentioned in connection with your health, it is worth recalling that hellbore and borage were popular sixteenth-century panaceas for black bile, and that bloodletting with leeches was once considered a cure for almost any malady. Frankly, I see little difference between such grotesque practices and the holistic healing products aisle at Whole Foods.
The plain truth is: flax seeds produce flatulence; fish oil makes you belch; and I'm not exactly sure what green tea does but I'll wager that it's not particularly pleasant either. Lipitor and Crestor pills have their worrisome side-effects too, obviously, but they generally do not involve vulgar noises, disgusting smells and consequent social ostracization.
Fortunately, certain authorities also regard dark chocolate, coffee and red wine as beneficial additions to a heart healthy diet. Of course, the Aristotelian ideal advocates moderation in all things, so consuming too much of these three delicious substances might be unwise, but then who is this killjoy Greek philosopher to argue with the experts at Lindt, Lavazza and Chateau de Coeur anyway? Personally I prefer to pin my faith on medical science and luxury brands, rather than listening to the sandal-wearing maniacs who hang around Norwegian dockyards trying to squeeze the juice out of dead herrings. But that's just me.

I couldn't agree more as flax seed in its natural form will give you diverticulitis and as flour it has concentrated levels of false estrogen which can grow you some very delightful man boobs. I myself cannot digest fish oil in capsule form period. I did however like smoked salmon or brazed steelhead, which my husband was more than happy to catch, which kept me in plenteous supply of natural fish oil. The 55 plus he brought home last year however meant my freezer was so full of fish there was no room for the Christmas turkey. Did I mention I hate fish?! Well you try eating a freezer full of the stuff, not just one year, but many years, you will hate it too.
I also believe that all these, "natural," cures are worthless. My mother was a great believer in all such nostrums and I could tell you any number of horror stories about her pills, potions, and powders. What that stuff could do to the insides of a growing child...shudder!!! Stick to the wine and chocolate. I also recommend a good vodka it cheers the spirit so to speak.

You could always move to Oregon and become a pot smoker. Why we have the easiest medical marijuana laws in the country. But to make up for it we have the toughest DMV. I must away this morning to renew my license under the new Oregon DMV Law. I must prove I am an American Citizen. Me whose family literally came on the May Flower in 1620, fought in the Revolution in 1776 and every other war in this Country & came over the Oregon Trail in 1843. This nifty law we've passed is supposed to stop the illegals...Ha Ha Ha they just drive without a license or insurance.
Sorry, I'm venting cause I hate taking a number and standing in line. Tho I will be really tempted to ask the person behind the desk when they came to this country?!
I'd love to hand them a burned disk from my Family Tree Maker program.

Giric - I am sticking to the chocolate and red wine cure.
Laurent - what has happened to your website???
Posted by: american fez | September 07, 2011 at 14:30
@American Fez: that weblog hosting service has started a migration project that they thought they would finish within 48 hours, but now has lasted for more than two weeks already. It will come back I believe, but I am VERY happy that I am not an ICT employee there!

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.

Hey all of you Hey all of you Michael Jackson fans, I know for a fact that Michael Jackson always slept with ltltie boys every chance he got. Which made him a PEDOPHILE. The ltltie boys he had slept with never told anyone about their abuse cuz they were either 2 ashamed or Michael paid them not to tell anyone. After all Michael Jackson was very rich. But on 06-25-09 Michael Jackson died at age 50, and I'm glad he finally gone where he won't be able to hurt anymore children. Michael Jackson may you Rot In
