Yunnan Baiyao

4/20/2015

3 Comments

 
Yunnan Baiyao is a traditional Chinese medicine which has been used to treat bleeding such as the type caused by the tumor in my dog's bladder.  It smells like musty dirt out of the package, and has more than a century of history of use.  There is also a small red pill in the pack which is used to prevent shock apparently (this stuff was used in several wars according to wikipedia).  Along with several other supplements, yunnan baiyo was suggested by a veterinarian I consulted who specializes in holistic medicine.  I plan to combine traditional and holistic medicine for my dog's treatment.  Having avoided Chinese dog treats due to the numerous problems with adulterated food products from that country, the irony of feeding my dog Chinese pills full of secret ingredients, does not escape me.  I trust in the experience of the vet who recommended it though, since he has been doing this for quite a while.

When I started her on yunnan baiyo about a week ago, she had very dark reddish urine and a confirmed infection.  She has since been on clavamox for the infection along with a NSAID, and now the supplements and yunnan baiyo for the past week.  Although I have not tested her urine since starting the supplements and yunnan baiyo, I do believe it is lighter in color and clearer.  I have not noted any side effects.  It is very early though, and there is a lot going on with the different meds she is on, as well as her health, so I doubt I will ever be able to say if the yunnan baiyo is working, but I hope is.

Stoopid Haiku

My high school English teacher was a great lady with lots of red pens.  She even tolerated my stoopidity and let me squeak by with C's.  Unfortunately, I never really appreciated the classics in school, even when I tried to.  They were always just assignments with deadlines.  Cliffnotes saved my butt too many times to tell, they even sold them at the school bookstore!  I was, and have been since, pretty stoopid, but smart enough to know it.  The great literature of the world will have to wait.  And at my age, I doubt there would be any significant insights that would make it though that clogged up HEPA filter called life experience.  To try and make up some very late extra credit, I decided to try my hand at some Haiku.  Haiku is probably a lot more than just 5-7-5, but that's as far as I care to take it.

This was inspired by the nutty postman who flew his gyrocopter to the capital a few days ago.  His intention was to deliver letters to the Congress demanding that they implement real campaign finance reform, as unlikely as that is.  I think his dedication to his profession skidded off the rails of good sense, but I do agree with his message, and am thankful the capital police handled the situation professionally.

If speech is money,
buy a hamburger with it.
Need some fries with that?
