Diclofenatic? I’d be careful of that, 2e. Sounds kinda fanatic? But there are physical therapists up here. There’s one by the name of Kate Smith who ran for state rep last year and lost. She does her therapy at the Bridgton hospital. Of course many people up here live “off the grid” and do physical therapy on themselves. It’s easier than driving to the big town of Bridgton fer some folks. YeeeeeeeHaw!

Y’know – I’ve been having physical therapy for neck pain. Do they have physical therapists up there in the backwoods? I’ve also been taking an anti-inflammatory that I think is helping – diclofenac. Haven’t noticed any odd side effects yet.

Thanks, Debi! Yes, I try to stay good re the wife, and keep building those wife points which if I’m not careful I could squander in an instant!

Hey, 2e! Thanks fer yer comment! Up here in the boonies I hope we could find Wyman’s frozen wild blueberries. But it looks like I have no excuse now for not trying a Flax Seed Oil Smoothie laced with wild blueberries.

Well, 2e, the fall still is putting a crink (sp?) in me. Last night I got sore again, but it’s slowly working its way out. Now! If I were as young as you are, 2e, I’d be fit as a fiddle by now.

It’s always the season for blueberries. I have a serving of Wyman’s frozen wild blueberries almost every day.

Glad you survived the fall, 1e – guess that’s becuz you keep so young with all your activities.

Hey, that does sound good, Debi. I love blueberries, but it’s not the season. Ya sure I wouldn’t choke on a Flax Seed Oil Smoothie, though? Sounds strong. But the blueberries might make it palatable. Perhaps I will try it.

Naww, you haven’t said too much, Kate. Zee Mom always has things prepared just right and in payment for her good work I always clean up afterwords and do the dishes.

OOh, those nasty nasty drug companies.

I have encouraged Zee Dad to explore the holistic route for a few years now. How many times have I said to try taking Flax Seed Oil? Many.

But I think zee Dad is a scientist and perhaps doesn’t quite believe? I don’t know.

However, zee Mom is very aware of healthy eating and I can insure the blogger readers that he eats very well. No salt, seafood more than once a week, and always home cooked. Right Dad? Have I said too much?

Yes, it’s very scary, Zhu. Too many drugs chasing too many people!

Right, Debi, alternative medicine certainly has its place, and it’s amazing how the Chinese have used acupuncture for millennia. Too bad I don’t have a dog, or even a cat. I had a great cat, named Tibby, while growing up, and the last cat I had was named Socks by my daughter Kate. Socks would roll over when I commanded it. Just needed to snap my fingers at him.

Yes, you’re absolutely right, Joe. Too many magic pills pushed by too many big pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer. I try to avoid red meat and do like nuts and fish, also turkey!

our society has become too oriented towards ‘magic pills’.

my dad-inlaw lowered his cholesterol by a huge amount just by changing his diet to include more nuts, fish and flax seed oil and less red meat. he didn’t even add exercise.
