I am the pale shadow of death, I am the shadows under dark. Death won't be the end for him as his soul shall burn forever!

Oh yeah? Well, I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.

And on top of that, I will strike upon thee with furrrrrious vengeance... (Pulp Fiction mode off)

That's a really old joke, but I guess this is the place for it.

In reality, aspirin is acidic, and could cause acid burns from too long contact. Some folks have discovered this in treating toothaches with contact aspirin. Their temporary treatment caused permanent damage.

Since the stomach is already acidic, aspirin does less harm there. Still, I feel that aspirin is more of a known quantity than the newer pain relievers, and aspirin reduces irritation of tissues, which is a component of muscle aches.

"...In reality, aspirin is acidic, and could cause acid burns from too long contact. Some folks have discovered this in treating toothaches with contact aspirin. Their temporary treatment caused permanent damage..."

White willow bark tea was (is) used before aspirin was invented, and it has no side effects. Too much aspirin will cause internal bleeding as well as tinnitus, and in some cases, temporary deafness, even though it is a good anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. (SP?)

[NicknamedBob]

Toothpicks should be made from Willow!

Antipyretic is the correct spelling, fever-reducer.


Aspirin is a miracle drug, but if you wanted to bring it to market today, FDA would never approve.

"...Aspirin is a miracle drug, but if you wanted to bring it to market today, FDA would never approve."

Drug companies would never approve of it because it can't be patented and given a name that will bring them mega-bucks. It IS a "miracle drug" and always has been, ever since it was synthetically made and given a name.

DU kids say the darndest things.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If it was invented today it could be.

Of course it would be pulled from the market and huge lawsuits would ensue over the horrific side effects.

[Monkey Face]

It may be patented as a "new medicine" but I doubt the FDA would approve it, simply because it is so easy to make and because the side-effects are only temporary.

The drug companies make millions on drugs that have lasting side-effects because they can manufacture other drugs to counter-act the side effects of the drug they manufactured last year.

The idea is not to HEAL a patient, but to make them dependent on certain drugs that most people can't afford.

If freedom means the freedom to smoke marijuana, leer at bikini-clad women, or read Darwinist gibberish, I want no part of it.

Can I have your portion?

Can we negotiate? I can be clad in a bikini if you are willing to split the rest.

Do you want to read the Darwinist gibberish to me or shall I read it to you?

[Kate of Spice Island]

But let's skip the putting the condom on the banana. In ten years of teaching, I never once ahd that in any of my lesson plans.

[Ahban]

Well said (your #27)

[NicknamedBob]

By the way, Meekie, congratulations on having gotten your wife through the ordeal with the INS.

She got through the tribulations, and now she's part of our tribe.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you, sir!
