not again

I have the dreaded dolphin migraine

Here's a helpful hint. Migraines are your body trying to tell you something. They have been linked to diet. Go Vegan, give up all meat and ESPECIALLY all dairy products and I'll bet a dime to a dollar that you'll notice a marked change in the frequency as well as the strength of your migraines. Heck, you may even end up curing them once and for all.....

There is a REASON they call it "Practicing Medicine". Quit letting them practice on you.....

 damn ... if I done that I would wither away!

 For me, I think my Migraines are trying to tell me that my wife and daughters are driving me crazy ...

My headaches went away after i had my heart attack and had a couple of stents put in. I went almost a full year without a single headache when i used to get bad ones twice a week where no amount of ibuprofen would touch them. And they would last for 24-48 hours at a time.

Now they are starting to come back, so that has me a bit worried considering what cured it last time.

I really hope you will not face that again Deano!  My mother's partner had one recently and even though he dealt with it all very well, it scared the crap out of her ... He officially died on his door step and was brought back. I would not wish what you and he has gone through on anyone.

unfortunately i think fighting with code for hours on end has A LOT to do with the headaches.

 I cant image giving up meat . I have a tendency to be thin. I would surely wither away lol

 Snap!

I am not kidding....

You have ALL bought into the dogma that we need meat to survive. I don't eat ANY meat nor do I eat ANY dairy (including cheese) and I am slightly overweight. The real truth is you can STILL die of heart disease, even if you're thin. Just because your body isn't storing large amounts of fat under your skin, that doesn't mean your arteries aren't totally clogged with animal based proteins and cholesterol.

The real truth of the matter is we have all been eating the wrong foods for generations. it is especially bad now since we buy into big pharma and big Ag.... It's all horseshit.

I am not joking when I tell you that you can cure almost anything, including most cancers, by only eating what your body was designed to eat. The "Fountain of Youth" does exist and for those so disposed, eating RAW will almost certainly result in you becoming a Centurion.

We are herbivores, we are NOT Omnivores or Carnivores.

 OMG I love cheese, I could not imagine cheese not being a part of my life ....

There's some great cheeses out there!

In-fact here is one Cheese I would not want to taste:-

This cheese is made from the nose, toe, mouth, and belly-button bacteria of notable people ... but hey, I guess it's not dairy!

 RE:

 Not so sure about that.  In the absence of grocery stores, if I needed food to survive, my first instinct would be to go kill something and eat it..... not go plant a garden, or try to find edible vegetation.  A lot of herbivores starve to death in the winter.

Speaking of cheese, the Ripley comic said there was a cheese that got its flavour from microscopic cheese mites.  YUCK!

If you think those cheeses are disgusting Google 'Casu Marzu'

 Maggot Cheese lol :/

I think this might be more enjoyable than cheese made from nose, toe, mouth, and belly-button bacteria

OMG, LMAO AND WTF AT THE BOLD SECTION AT VERY BOTTOM !!

How Casu Marzu is Made

Casu Marzu begins as Pecorino Sardo (Fiore Sardo), a cheese that’s typically soaked in brine, smoked, and left to ripen in the cheese cellars of central Sardinia. But to produce Casu Marzu, cheese makers set the Pecorino Sardo outside in the open – uncovered – and allow cheese flies (scientifically named Piophila casei) to lay eggs inside of it.

As the eggs hatch into a myriad of white transparent maggots, they feed on the cheese. By doing so, they produce enzymes that promote fermentation and cause fats within the Casu Marzu to decompose.

Sometimes, cuts are made into the rind of Pecorino Sardo and already-hatched maggots are introduced into the cheese. This speeds the whole cheese making process along.

How Casu Marzu Tastes

Casu Marzu is a local delicacy in very high demand. It’s a highly pungent, super soft cheese that oozes tears (“lagrima”), and fittingly so, as it tends to burn on the tongue.

Some say Casu Marzu tastes like an extremely ripe Gorgonzola. That is, of course, without the savoury blue veins and with a whole lot of larva. One piece of Casu Marzu may be populated by thousands of living, breathing maggots.

In fact, local Sardinians will tell you the spicy, creamy cheese is only okay to eat if the maggots are still moving. Apparently, once the maggots are dead, the Casu Marzu has gone bad – decayed to a point that’s too toxic for human consumption.

Is Casu Marzu Dangerous?

Casu Marzu has been declared illegal and not in compliance with EU hygienic standards. It is banned by Italian health laws and not sold in shops. In addition to numerous anecdotal reports of allergic reaction (including burning, crawling skin sensations that last for days), there is increasing concern of risk for enteric myiasis, or intestinal larval infection.

Once ingested, it’s possible for the Piophila casei larvae to pass through the human stomach without dying (sometimes stomach acids aren’t enough to kill them). In that case, the maggots may take up residency in the intestines for some time. They can cause serious lesions and bore through intestinal walls, resulting in abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhoea.

Despite the health warnings, people in Sardinia say they’ve been eating Casu Marzu for hundreds of years without any problem. In fact, the Italian cheese is often brought out for special occasions like birthdays, bachelor parties, and weddings. According to folklore, Casu Marzu is even an aphrodisiac.

One final note of caution, some people wear eye protection when eating Casu Marzu: the maggots are known to jump as high as six inches and straight toward the eyeballs with exact precision. At a minimum, make a maggot sandwich and shield your eyes with your hand as you take a bite.

Yep, they go for the eyeballs.  The cheese is actually banned in most countries because of the dangers.

OK, I am seriously re-thinking my views on Cheese now ...

MMmmmmmmm   Mmmm!!   Sea cucumber and caterpiller fungus soup.  Yes.. its a vegetarian dish.

 NO thank you sir! I'll pass on that ...

If i continue reading this thread i will quit eating.....

funny how it all begins with a good honest thread .... and then gradually .... ends up like this lol

Although the 'Sea cucumber and caterpillar fungus soup' does look beautifully presented :/

You will have to excuse me. I must go and disgorge my stomach contents now.

LMFAO ... yeah I started doing that about 20 minutes ago when I was watching a video of family stuffing maggot cheese down their throats! and no lie ... the cheese looked like it was ALIVE and maggots was jumping / leaping around the damn bowl and all over the table.

edit: the adults and even their kids seem to enjoy it :/

OK.. enough of that vegan stuff... feast your eyes on this:
