Apparently nightshade plants promote inflamation.

Nobody who cleaned it up the first time died, so they figure it is probably safe. And cheaper!
Considering how much it cost last time, it's hard to imagine that not fixing the problem would be cheaper, but I do suppose you probably have their rationale.
eta: That is, you don't yourself have their rationale, but you've probably described it perfectly. Ahem.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Anyhoo, if you are interested I can copy the relevant sections of his book on it and get you info on the med protocol.
I'm interested in any information, definitely. Thanks.

Tomatoes are the food of the devil, eggplants are nasty and slimy, and I generally have no taste for peppers. Potatoes will hurt, however.

If I only had a brain...
Only if you put them in a potato gun.

actually, we made one of those and shot potatoes in the lake at New Years. I use "we" lightly, because the making/owning of such is a felony and I was having no part of it.

New Scientist says there's no such thing as a wine and cheese pairing. Quelle domage!
Bernice Madrigal-Galan and Hildegarde Heymann of the University of California, Davis, presented trained wine tasters with cheap and expensive versions of four different varieties of wine. The tasters evaluated the strength of various flavours and aromas in each wine both alone and when preceded by eight different cheeses.
They found that cheese suppressed just about everything, including berry and oak flavours, sourness and astringency. Only butter aroma was enhanced by cheese, and that is probably because cheese itself contains the molecule responsible for a buttery wine aroma, Heymann says. Strong cheeses suppressed flavours more than milder cheeses, but flavours of all wines were suppressed. In other words, there are no magical wine and cheese pairings.

Now I get to talk to the IRS. Clearly, today is some sort of karmic payback.
Edit: Maybe I shot a potato gun at someone in a past life.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Dana, I'm sorry. Yay for knowing, but boo!
ita, I love that bag. And, yay for the shopping trip!
Somehow I managed not to turn twelve until after he walked out of the office carrying a G4.
