So we get ourselves on a sane way of eating that, for me at least, has sorted out any number of physical complaints and/or ills, and we have that in stasis. And what happens? I get a heartfelt e-mail solicitation from a family member trying to set up yet another MLM business, who wants my extended family to buy bottles of a wonderful new supplement by the caseload (undoubtedly on some sort of monthly subscription plan). I went to the site for the product and took a look. And what is it, this miracle substance?
Salt Water.
Seriously. The ingredients are Distilled Water and Sodium Chloride. I hardly know what to say. Just as I think I've got the cramps under control, I'm being besought (it was a pretty fervent e-mail) to increase my sodium levels, which, with the ZC/VLC character of my regular diet, will likely remove every atom of Potassium from my body every night. I am just not up for the tarantella any more. So I said "no, thanks," but I wonder if sending her a copy of GCBC would make any difference in her life?
You know, from everything I've ever heard, placebos have always been sugar pills. This is a new approach, I guess.
