Demented World - by Thoraiya Dyer

 
When did we start living in a demented world? When did it become possible to advertise a product that "brings health and life to your hair" when, in fact, hair consists of dead skin cells and lifeless keratin? How can something that HAS no life be healthy or unhealthy? When did it become possible to advertise that Echinacea is good for colds and flu, when The New England Journal of Medicine (Vol 353: 341-348, July 2005) in an article by R.B. Turner et al, it was concluded that the happy little plant has absolutely no effect at all? I'm ready to begin my crusade. Welcome to Demented World

Forget your problems without spending a dime

Most alcoholics tell us that if we want to forget our problems, fill up the fridge and cellar with liquor and spend the nights boozing. That's pretty effective, I suppose, not to mention fun (if not truly destructive and cliche). But in our sane moments, we'd be looking at our bills and go, "Shit. All the money went to the beer."

Scientists are aware that we are wise consumers so someday we'd probably end up in AA centers and giving up our booze habit. But we're still left with the same old problems we couldn't forget. So it's best we forget them without spending dough by not sleeping.


Scientists have experimented with rats and found out that those who slept less caused stress hormones to jam up in the 'hippocampus', the memory center of the brain. Less new memory cells grow as a result. On the bright side, students will be able to take advantage of sleeping after reading a book so they can remember what they just studied.

Don't sleep if you want to forget your problems. Smart, eh? We'd probably forget who we are and what we're doing in the hospital if we get addicted to the habit soon enough.
