hey elk, tell him how your baby sister was cured from her asthma. It's an amazing story, truly amazing.
I would be happy to do so.
You see, my younger (by 6 years) sister had an asthma attack at the age of several days back in the late 1950's.
Our wise (and wizened) family physician recommended my father blow tobacco smoke at her occasionally.
That was her last asthma attack.
She became a grandmother last April.
Physicians used to prescribe smoking (and caffeine imbibing) to stave off and stop respiratory problems.
I am convinced that more kids have asthma today because they don't get to eat their pound of dirt at an early age, and are not exposed to things like tobacco smoke because of all the hysteria.
It may take a massive civil uprising, along with the accompanying hardship to get people back to relishing campfires, red meat and tobacco, along with all the other politically-incorrect "bad" habits which made our forebears surprisingly healthy and able to create and provide for us.
We're looking forward to celebrating my Father's 80th birthday shortly (smoked at least a pack of cigarettes every day since he was 9).
Any questions?
