Expert patient

An extraordinary report says that blue food dye reduced local inflammatory responses in traumatic spinal cord injury (in rats)

It turned the rats blue, temporarily, but they did get back to normal

So now I am off to buy a good supply of Liquorice Allsorts


My emergency treatment kit for the next time my dodgy disc goes now consists of:

1 large packet of frozen peas (wrap in a tea towel, apply externally to reduce the inflammation)

2 litre bottle of Cola (for drinking, as required)

Airtight tin of blue liquorice allsorts (dose to be ascertained)
