Beautiful Sunday

In addition to about six other drugs for various post-surgical issues (bring on the Percocet!), my surgeon wants me to take an herb called Arnica Montana to reduce bruising and inflammation. Well, having worked in pharmaceutical research and as a science-minded individual, I am skeptical of and have never taken homeopathic "medicines," for both safety and efficacy concerns. I still don't want to do it now. So I asked the homeopathy dude at Central Market, "This isn't going to kill me, is it?"

"This is homeopathic stuff. You could take the whole bottle and nothing would happen!"

Truer words were probably never spoken.
