Chesterfields are good for the T-zone.
I think this is great.
Second, as for ‘two white Americans’ well, since they are accusing Westerners of conspiring to kill Africans with Ebola, why not try it on two whites who won’t accuse the US of trying to kill them.
The fact that these two are still alive means that something has been created, a major miracle. Normally they would be dead by now.
El Rushbo hits the nail on the head, once again.
Thanks for posting ;)
Tobacco is a very unusual plant, botanically speaking, and I believe it has been used before in the development of drugs meant for human or even agricultural use.
I love a great cigarette (I don’t smoke regularly, but I guess I smoke a couple of high-end cigarettes a week the way a guy would smoke a couple of cigars) but the plant itself is way beyond that.
Doctor: I have good news and bad news for you.
Patient: Give me the good news first, Doc.
Doctor: Your Ebola has been cured!
Patient: What’s the bad news?
Doctor: You now have lung cancer................
Ya’ mean second-hand tobacco maybe?
Ugh, of all the things to go wrong in life!
What a strange era. Doctors huffing on, and extolling the health benefits of tar bars.
Chimney sweep scrotum down your windpipe. It’s all the rage.
No matter what high profile scenario is out there, the left will take the opportunity to politicize it in order to gain an advantage.
If this had been used on Africans right after monkey trials, they’d have screamed about some racism associating monkeys with black Africans.
If it had been tried and failed or killed them, they would have cried about the Africans being used in a risky experiment.
Sounds like that would be some good stuff to chew.
One of my grandmas remedies for cuts, etc. While it was still bleeding....sugar. When it stopped bleeding...a tobacco poultice. Was supposed to aid in healing and keep it from getting infected. She chewed tobacco so would chew a wad up til it was wet and on it went then wrapped it good.
During the American colonial era in the 1700’s, tobacco plantation growers and workers would sleep on top of a stack of tobacco leaves when the deadly plague was spreading to prevent contagion. That is also why they chewed tobacco and smoked it. Tobacco leaves, like many plants, contain a natural pesticide to repel insects.
What I never understood is why some company did not buy the DDT formula from the owner, and manufacture it overseas? There HAS to be a market for it in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
What am I missing?
It is 2 AMERICANS, white or black, who cares.
I think/believe many things or activities could/should be added to the list of societal anesthesia including basketball(which I like to watch), football at all levels(which I also like to watch ) along with all kinds of ball games and especially Hollywood stuff.
That’s very interesting! I think tobacco does have antibiotic properties.
I read about a folk cure in England where people would go out to the stables and scrape the mold off the harnesses and saddles (leather gets very moldy very quickly) and rub it on a wound...obviously, primitive penicillin.
Never dismiss folk cures!
The American Indians, early settlers and even homeopaths all found medicinal uses for tobacco.
From what little I’ve read on-line, there seems to be some value to the chemical components in it.
It’s hard to say whether this new serum will work in treating Ebola victims - but if so, all the better.
