Its name is escaping me, but did any of you hear that the toxin injected in
the skin to erase wrinkles is now being looked at as a cure for migraines?!
Many wrinkle-hating patients (Stepford wives?) reported a drastic reduction
in both basic and migraine headaches.  They think that this toxin relaxes
muscles and bing badda bing, there goes the headache.

Which makes me wonder; could modern food's LACK of germs and toxins come
with a downside?  Everything you buy in 'Mrrka (as Dubyah would pernounce
it) is squeaky clean; maybe headaches are just one of several problems
modern, "better" food throw in our path.  The benefits of bacteria, et al,
have been discussed here before; I wonder if what we already know is just
the tip of the iceberg.
