Tonsilitis, Elaine Aggravates

Another exciting Hpathy.com Quiz; try to guess the remedy!

Shana, let’s begin the ceremonial photographing of the salad.

What?

Take a picture of dinner!!!!

Mom, I don’t think people care what we’re eating!

Shana, we are here to set an example for people the world over who have forgotten that food grows on trees.

I thought that was money.

Only in your case, Shana. Now, here we have a lovely salad which, by the way, should be the centerpiece of everyone’s meal! It can be supplemented by a sweet potato or whole grain bread or any other whole food that’s to your liking but, this should be at the center.

What’s in the salad tonight, Mom?

Well, last night we had freshly cooked salmon in our salad but tonight it’s just the usual lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onions and grated raw milk cheddar cheese with ranch dressing. The great thing about salad is that you can include any vegetable you want! Try to stay away from packaged food; they’re adding things to the food that have no business being there, and they’re not selecting quality food, either; whatever’s cheapest! Is that what you would pick for yourself? If you eat like what you see in this picture, you will not have health problems–which brings us to tonight’s quiz!


Nice segue, Mom! Whose case is it this time?

It’s the brother of one of our regular quiz answerers! He had tonsilitis, which he blamed on me!

Mom, how is that possible?

Well, oddly enough, Shana, I was taking his case, and I saw that his diet was nothing but meat and white flour products like pizza and spaghetti, and coffee! So, of course, he wanted a remedy and not a lecture on food, which was what he got! Since he claimed to be a socialist and a conspiracy theorist, I asked him, “Why are you eating food prepared by the Ruling Class? It’s the biggest conspiracy going! They put things in the food like sugar and MSG to addict you to it and make you fat so you’ll be sure to buy more! Stop eating corporate food!” Well, that went over like a lead balloon!

You mean like CIA agents at Fidel Castro’s birthday?

Exactly! Anyway, he said I made him so angry, he broke out in tonsilitis!

You have that effect on people, Mom…. Maybe we should add this to the Complete Repertory.

What?

“Tonsilitis, Elaine agg.”

Hey, that’s a good idea….I’d become famous! Start the case, Shana!

…rolling, and…speed!

Action!
