Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria

I just read a book titled "Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria," that made me realize we are doomed! The world will not end in a Big Bang we will all get some type of creeping crud caused by antibiotic-resistant organisms. All because doctors and patients insist on using antibiotics for everything under the sun! We are not happy to pay for a doctor's visit and not get some type of drug! This book caused flashback to my childhood. I was sickly and the trauma inflicted on me all started to make sense. Now I know when I was seven I was having premonitions of things to come! Every time I sneezed the Doctor had his wonder drug Penicillin ready and loaded. My Doctor, his Nurse and my mom would have to chase me around the office with that HUGE syringe of cold viscous Penicillin. I would scream, bite and crawl under the furniture. One time I actually broke the need off in my butt cheek! Now I have confirmation of what I thought then is true, they were trying to kill me!!

Bush says to Myanmar: 'Let us help'

I can't help but think that the Myanmar Government is afraid of the help Bush can provide, considering how the US Government responded to our own people during Hurricane Katrina. By the Way Mr. President, there are still people without homes and jobs in the areas devastated by Katrina!!

Speaking about Saturday TV I want to know when HR Pufnstuff will return!

In case you have never seen H.R. Pufnstuf, it was on Saturday mornings from 1969-1972. This show had more drug references in it than a Cheech and Chong movie! What were parents thinking when they let us watch this show? Come on mom pass the "puffin stuff"!

Here is a description of the show from Wikipedia:

H.R. Pufnstuf , revolving around a boy named Jimmy (played by Jack Wild) who had accidentally found Living Island, a magical place where everything was alive. The Mayor of Living Island was a friendly dragon named H.R. Pufnstuf (voiced by the show's writer Lennie Weinrib). Jimmy had been lured to the island with his friend, a talking flute named Freddie, by a magic boat which promised adventures across the sea. The boat was actually owned and controlled by their nemesis, a wicked witch named Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (played by Billie Hayes) who rode on a broomstick-like vehicle called the Vroom Broom. Jimmy was taken in by Pufnstuf, who was able to protect him from Witchiepoo as the cave where he lived was the only place her magic had no effect. Apart from Witchiepoo, all of the characters on Living Island were realized via large, cumbersome costumes or puppetry. Since everything on Living Island was alive (namely houses, castles, boats, grandfather clocks, candles, books, trees, mushrooms), virtually any part of the Living Island sets could become a character, usually voiced in a parody of a famous film star, such as Mae West, Edward G. Robinson or most notably John Wayne as "The West Wind".

The Sleestaks are Coming!!

Universal Pictures is remaking "Land of the Lost" and just released a still of the Sleestaks. When I was young I loved "Land of the Lost" it was the cheesiest! Yet, I did not get the Sleestaks. I never liked their costume. I always thought the Sleestaks look like they should be wearing leather coats with mirrored sunglasses. Sleestaks were interesting because they could not move fast, they were afraid of sunlight and their language consisted of loud hissing yet they terrorized the Marshalls. They ALWAYS caught the three humans whenever they came close to them which I could never understand because they couldn’t sneak up on you, and most certainly couldn’t catch you in a foot race. My grandma could out run them! I believe they moved so slow because clearly they had asthma. How else can you explain the unbelievably loud breathing noise they made as they approached anything.

This is the Truth - Make sure you watch it to the end!
