What have you learned from all this?

I love Zeetes as much as the next guy but I wouldn't take health advice from him ... but nor does he ever give any so I don't think he'd take offense at that (I hope).

I have a friend who is an RN and the biggest medical care advocate ever. She is my closest friend for almost my entire life and I respect her intellect and her critical thinking abilities. That being said, she also smokes like a chimney (I once had to stop along a busy highway so she could get out and smoke because she respects that I don't allow smoking in my car. That's how bad she was Jonesing for a puff) and I've told her that because of that, it's hard for me to take lifestyle health advice from her.
um..

here are some tips:
1- the higher the proof, the better you sanitize your organs
2- ginger is great for an upset stomach (see #1)

yeah thats about all i've got.
