    colitis?

    colitis

    I just saw a program on the discovery channel about parasites. At the end they described a fascinating treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases like colitis. Get this: you eat parasitic worms! It seems the inflamation is caused by an overactive immune system. Eating the worms "distracts" your immune system in your bowel, giving it something to work on. (Instead of your own tissue.) Freaky, eh?

    Check it

    Then you could sing the "Tapeworm Song" from Kids in the Hall and be completely serious!

    5'9" is a good height. I'm only about 5-5 and it doesn't bother me that I'm short. I would consider your son to be average height.

    Why is he obsessed about his height at 27? It's not like he's going to grow more.


By Gee on Thursday, July 22, 2004 - 10:22 am:

    I didn't know you were 5'5. This changes everything.


By semillama on Thursday, July 22, 2004 - 12:25 pm:

    Come on, I know I've proclaimed my 65 inches before.


By Antigone on Thursday, July 22, 2004 - 03:14 pm:

    He may be 5'5", but sem could kick my ass.

    If he wanted to.


By Antigone on Thursday, July 22, 2004 - 03:26 pm:

    Oh, and on the subject.

    Cathy, is your son in therapy?
