In Praise of Self-Medication

Dear Dr,

I am afflicted by a range of ailments.

My nose runs, my feet smell, one of my knackers feels like it has a stone in it.
And, of course, my back aches.

I have taken a new course in my treatment...

The imbibing of sacred herbs and grains. The distillation of sacred spirits from vegetables. The secretions of nubile virgin cunts.

For instance, I took a leaf of the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca). Ground it, and a few drops of HCl, with a pestle and a mortar. A fine white residue emerged which I mixed with baking soda. I then sprinkled this on the bong which had a bit of Bengali hash and tobacco.

Voila.

My nose twinkles! My head is aflame with the wildest of imaginations!
My pain sir, it has gone away.

The next day I took a potato and gave it to an old Russian lady who lives next door. She returned the next week with a bottle of clear liquid. It was an old peasant remedy.

She told me: "Place it in the freezer. One large glass before each meal, or whenever you feel you need it."

My point is Dr that I no longer have faith in your prescriptions and quackery. I know you have sold your soul to the corporate devils that own the commercial Pharmacopiea. From now on I will self-medicate, and may the devil take you.

Yours sincerely,

IP Freely

    Would you be the same I. P. Freely who authored the classic "The Yellow Stream" and that "Kids and their Kidneys" textbook?

    I used to have issues with my stream. But now that I listen to my own body and allow myself to respond to it's needs and desires I no longer have this problem.

    Now this cunt is a Dr and a professional rationalist...

    Ahhh... Dr IP Freely wasn't so concerned about rational thought back then. Seems he had a more 'devil may care' attitude.

    I will take his pronouncements from now on with a pinch of shit.

    Goes to prove the notion that "rationalism" is the last bastion of the insecure aging fool

    How? By sticking a finger up your arse?

    Don't forget to wipe it before you sniff it!

    Yep, that's it. And of course I always wipe first. What do you take me for? Some sort of freak? You gross me out... forget to wipe it! Indeed!

    Most people are scared. Its why people vote, follow MSM or take up religion.

    And rationalists have much in common with religious types.
