The Miracle Green Herb...

The Miracle Green Herb


No you pothead, tree hugging liberals. You can't smoke this one! This is a much healthier version. It's green tea. The ancient Chinese secret remedy for many ailments. And truth be told, drinking up to 4 cups a day has actually helped an ailment of mine, headaches. It freaking works, dude.

My wife, the health nut in the house that runs marathons and incessantly studies the Japanese language, while I waste away watching tv, drinking alcohol and typing these "heart-felt posts" started me on my path to transcendental enlightenment.

I have been suffering from headaches since last March. I seemed to be going through a revolving door of doctors through planned HMO care. The original post of this blog covers my struggles and battles with those in the medical industry. (God forbid we ever go socialist) I am traditionally not into "hocus pocus" or "witch craft-like" medicines. I am more into the, Dr. Feelgood, gimme the pills and I hope they work. Job stress, turning 30, and being up-tight, jerk are most likely causes to my problems versus a physiological problem in my noggin. (Really I am a nice guy, I just play a jerk on the internet). I still however am having trouble with my ears. Don't ever join Kaiser.

I feel Green Tea has made me less tense, have more energy and allows me to concentrate. Or maybe its placebo and I have misplaced euphoria due to an unexplored bi-polar problem. Simple fact remains, I like the stuff, I am addicted and Peet's Coffee sells the good stuff. Japanese Sencha. Almost tasteless with an "seaweed" green grass after taste. Turns your pee bright yellow as well. I recommend it and promise another post on it within a month from now.
Peet's would almost be perfect, it's just that its based in Berkeley, CA, a city that doesn't take kindly to us red folk.
