One aspect of my daily life about which I have been fairly silent, is my interest in natural remedies. I enjoy learning natural non-pharmaceutical ways of treating common concerns. Not limited to chiropractic and dietary supplements, there is also, hydrotherapy (long hot soak in the bath, anyone?) bodywork (massage?) and a variety of ways of cleansing and purifying the body's tissues and internal organs in order to help us feel our best.
So I own this book that I refer to as "The Big Book of Refuses to Go to the Doctor". It has a listing of supplements with their benefits and side effects, a section with conditions and their causes and treatments, and an alternative therapies section with a guide to doing them safely at home (like, color therapy or fasting, for example).
Deep in the nether regions of this massive tome (my first car was smaller) there is a section on...
Ugh.
(...this is the reason I am not a nurse)
In all their varieties...
I don't remember them all, but one, I do. I am not going to lie, Y'all. I am offended.
Someone decided this was a treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It's wasteful; I tell you. Someone got drunk and said, "Hey, it's 6 months until daybreak, and this stuff's gone cold. I have an idea!"
I would never have guessed unless I had read it in the pages of a book (Wait until Levar hears about this!).
Coffee...
That's not where it belongs.

THAT has got to be the funniest line I have heard in a looooong time!!
Girl, I wish I was more into natural stuff. I really do, but unless I'm in the hospital all strapped down to the bed and my life depends on it...ain't doing an enema.
No way. No how.
I don't care if it's made of gold.
Forget it.
It's a waste of coffee I tell ya!!!
Total waste... of water even.
You're right..
Does NOT belong there, and not what that audience would look for.
Almost like a planted joke, you know?
On SNL, now that would be funny.
I'm all for aromatherapy and a good massage (I've got one scheduled this weekend), but a coffee enema?! Sacrilege!
I shudder at the very thought. Coffee enemas sound like they could be one of those unsafe things that get portrayed as medical, too. I loved the line about "six months till daybreak and this stuff's gone cold"
