A tale as old as time

A tale as old as time. my annual attempt to beat my coffee addiction. IN the past when I'd beaten it, I would show up for races bright-eyed and insufferably chipper.

As most other bleary-eyed runners were sucking down last drops before the gun goes off. Then on the trail they'd dash into the woods to empty swollen bladders as I ambled along. But the addiction always comes back.

I usually wait for Spring then endure a week of misery. Stupifying tiredness and inability to think clearly. And a headache that no drugs can stop.

Then a week passes and I'm cured and swear never to touch the stuff again. So a few less-wintry days had me thinking it was time to try again. But five days later I haven't had the miserable headache or other signs of withdrawal. I'm tired but not so much I can't use the treadmill.

What happened? Why no falling asleep in my oatmeal? Why no problem finishing a crossword puzzle? Why no feeling like my head is about to explode through my ears?

The answer is ozone, I believe. In animals I've seen it stop epileptic seizures and cure ringworm and MRSA so I thought why not try it. And I did. With no other drugs on board it's the only thing different I've tried. The only thing different. I keep waiting for the headache, the miserable headache that makes me wish I had a gun. Maybe I'm cured. Til next Spring.

Probably killed off the pathogens that were bothering you. Glad you're feeling better.

Coffee is supposed to be good for managing Parkinson's, no?

Yes it is. Very good, anti-oxidant and neuro-protective properties. I wouldn't do without it. Not the caffeine, decaffeinated works as well, as long as it is done using the "water process" method of decaffeination. (Caffeine, on its own, is also known for a long time, at least 50 years, to increase IQ.) You want to avoid versions that use methylene chloride or formaldehyde to decaffeinate.

bottom line - look for an organic label.

Well done! Out of interest, what do you drink instead?

Decaff while it's still winter and water once it stops snowing.

Not what you're looking for?
