The Official " I'm sick " Thread

[lucazuma]

..yeah...it got me

2 days ago i wake up with a little scratchy throat.

I think it might have been that i had slept in a weird position and therefore snored a lot...i usually dont and when i do my throat gets dry and hurts a bit when i wake up..

Usually by the time i have my espresso and a scone, the itch is gone....but not this time 

I work in Malibu and there are a bunch of "hippie" folks here. By the time i have breakfast, the gardener, the gas statio guy, the barista and 12 other fpolks who over heard my conversation with the barista ALL gave me shit for not having tried this or that remidy...

So i head to the Malibu Health Holeistic Vitamin and whatnot Bar, where i have a breif conversation with Lucy who "prescribes" me a Matte chanes something Honey Ginger "Tea" and an energy shot...

shot:

garlic
ginger
lemon
and 3 more ingredients...

...bottoms up with the shot and i walk away with my "Tea" and a bunch of vitamins....

I feel crappy the entire day and quite agitated i must say...i think that the "ingredients" must have been having SOME effect

I go to bed, take my vitamins...

I wake up feeling like a fresh flower!!!! i think "WOW this hippie shitt works!!"

So i get dressed and go to work...by the time im in the ofice i start to feel dizzy, my nose clogs i start to cough...

I think "CRAP!! thos DAMN hippsters!" i should have taken "real" medicine...

But the truth was that the "remedy" took care of my soar throat although unfortunately not so much of the rest   

now its friday and im home like an old lady, watching the tube....

i think ill  then      and get under the covers

cheers

Strangely I am still ill.  Perhaps the pizza suggestion will work better.

Lets see, us mountain folk use this:  Take 2/3 pint of white liquor, mix in some ginger, salt, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper and mix.  Fill mostly to the top with honey.  Shake very very well.  Take a couple shots before bed.  Makes a HUGE difference ~

Oh, I have the perfect cure for your flu. ITS CALLED YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!! Stop with the hocus pocus stuff. Do what you need to make yourself comfortable, realize that this will suck for a few days, stay hydrated and let your body do its work. DO NOT take anitbiotics even if your doctor gives them to you, you have a viral infection, antibiotics will do nothing for you.

And for the love of god everyone please stop with the hocus pocus de jour (e.g. - huge vitamin C doses, Zinc tablets, Airborne, a thousand different teas, etc.) That shit is all snake oil and you've been had. Let your immune system do its job. Water and rest is all your body needs for that to happen.
