OT: I do not get ill very often, but every 4-5 years, a bad case of cold or flu. I started with hacking cough and scratchy throat day before yesterday, progressively worse, necessitating taking time off from office so as to not infect everyone, retreated home. I put myself on Chinese traditional medication after consultation - the usual twigs, leaves, flowers, bark, and bits of grass. Wife recommended another traditional approach to my sceptical mind, that of using a spoon to scrape on my oiled back, to release 'heat' or whatever mumble jumble. Lacking better ideas, I allowed her to apply the punishment. She applied even pressure to the scraping across the entirety of my back, and ... golly, exactly one half side (left side) turned deep purple, whilst the right side appeared as always. Took a hot bath, crashed, and next day ... I am far better than I otherwise would have been, though still weak, but the hacking cough is gone, etc etc. Just amazing.
