Yeah there’s plenty of reason to be disappointed. I, personally, don’t believe it’s entirely their fault, I’ll explain.

I think they’re trained, sir, they’re schooled and trained to prescribe “X, Y, Z” when they diagnose “A, B, C” which they were also taught to diagnose based on symptoms. I know I haven’t met a doctor yet who understands all of the work in my leg until I explain it to them. That being said, I’m not certain they all fully understand the inner workings inside the body other than the literature they’ve read. I’m giving the actual physician the benefit of the doubt on this one and saying they’re only partially responsible. Big pharma, however, I wish I could strangle them with my bare hands and then give them my own diagnosis how to treat it.

Thanks a lot for checking this one out, sir, and thank you for your prayers and well wishes. We’ll be in touch friend.

You tried brewing pepper and thyme in your coffee yet?

" I wish I could strangle them with my bare hands and then give them my own diagnosis how to treat it." lol..I agree totally. Thanks for the great explanation, very gracious of you sir dandays.

Mrs. J does the coffee and I've mentioned it to her before. I'll remind her today. How much pepper and thyme?

Start with a pinch of each, that’s what I did. I’ve since learned a little more pepper and a little less thyme is where I like it. I really think you’ll agree with me if you give it a shot and be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Pura said I use “two dashes” of pepper, that’s probably equivalent to a little more than a pinch. The thyme can be overwhelming, though, if you use too much. Start easy on that one and see what you think. If my fingers had a measuring scoop, it would probably read “2/3 pinch.”

Hope that helps.

It sure is cold here, @janton. Are freezing in Texas yet?

Our crazy weather this winter has been mostly 20 degrees warmer than normal. The next few days will hit 75. I think I'll work on my tan.

Thanks for the measurements. lol. that does help.
