Holy tamale; I was just a tad queasy!!!)

Anyway, I often disgraced myself; didn't always get to the window of neighbor's car in time...

Back to playtime: We also went out to play and came home when it got dark. Nobody worried about kidnapping or molesters back then. Maybe they existed, but we never heard about them.

Sigh!

Hi Higgs,

I bet boats drive you nuts!

Try taking a capsule of ginger powder before starting
said motion. Won't make you sleepy either. Safe
to drive with.

I can only get a hold of the abstract. I had the whole article
at one time. They want $36 for the full article now. And, well,
at $36, I don't like you that much! :-)

If I remember correctly, the Lancet research double
blinded ginger against over the counter anti-nausea
drugs (I believe it was Dramamine), then spun you
around and tried to make you vomit.

Here is a LONG WINDED (even worse than me) article on Ginger:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92775/

If you scroll down to "7.6.3. Ginger as an Antinausea Agent",
it talks a lot about the double blinds, etc..

If you read the LONG WINDED article, you will notice all the
"side benefits" (traditional herbal medicine), as opposed to
the "side effects" that you get by using controlled dosages
of poisons (drugs) that the allopaths use. Not that allopathic
drugs don't have their place, just they are a pretty poor
choice for long term use.
