(Thanks to psi_lock at flickr)Another visit to Dr SH. last night. I don't think I've ever visited a doctor with such frequency. It was R's idea I should go. It was so much of R's idea that she came with me. In fact I think she could have gone instead of me and left me in my sick-bed.
R was asking the doctor a question at some point when Dr SH interrupted her. “I think I better take his pulse in case he expires in front of me”
R disappeared and Dr S.H. checked my throat and seemed very concerned about me. He was concerned about me sweating though that was just me overdressing. I had been zonked out all day and had no idea it was a warm summer's day before leaving the flat. He told me to take plenty of rest and ibuprofen.
I note he didn't ask me to take lots of Green Tea Plus. I only say that because I stumbled across this marvel when browsing for smoking related information.
Green Tea Plus gets around many of the problems of giving up smoking. It does this by making you give up illness. Here's a bit from the article
“Numerous studies have shown that Green Tea can help reduce your cancer and cardiovascular risk. Green tea can boost your immune system by fighting free radicals. AND HERE'S THE BEST NEWS --- cigarette smokers who drink up to six cups of green tea daily suffer 40 to 50 percent less damage from the toxins caused by cigarette smoke!”
Something makes me doubt the authenticity of this product.
“Fast between the Brahmaputra and the Yang Tse Rivers lie the nurturing valleys of the much sought after Green Tea Plus plant” ???
It doesn't sound right to me. And I should know as I have visited the Bramah Museum of Tea and Coffee between Waterloo and London Bridge.
It's a private collection of tea and coffee related odds and sods and worth a visit if you want to know a bit about what you're drinking. It is very much “tea and coffee from an English point of view”. I couldn't find any references to tea drinking in the Middle East. I think it cost £6 each. We thought it was worth it but it's no freebie.
If the Green Tea Plus won't do it smokers should can give this a try. (Is there a relationship between that and my sweating so much at the doctors?) Or they can combine both methods?

What a coincidence! Our bi-monthly meetings with our line manager take place at the Bramah museum. It is very quaint and they serve tea the way I was taught the English had their tea (using a teapot and refined China cups as opposed to tatty Tetley bags in monstruous mugs). However their cucumber sandwiches are a rip-off in my view. But then again they are hard to come by in our sushi days and age.
Did seem a bit pricey- we went late so they were closing up anyway and we gave the Bramah method tea a miss. Given the history of tea sushi wouldn't be that inappropriate. The museum is fun but I'd like to see it expanded tenfold. Its a big subject.
