68. BINGO! I Couldn't Have Written It Any Better Myself!

And speaking about healing the Republican Party, let's not forget the tremendous benefits that common cooking spices have rendered in the service of health and healing. Why was there such a thriving medieval spice trade? When one looks at the old herbal medicinal formulas of the period, as I have, one finds that many ingredients in these formulas were common cooking spices - so, these exotic spices were used not just to spice up their food, but also to make medicines as well. For example, I learned in Chinese herbology class in acupuncture school that Cloves could be used to stop hiccups. I had a hard time believing that until I got some bad hiccups in my friend's health food store, with a jar of Cloves on the spice rack nearby. I ate one Clove, and whamo - my hiccups were GONE!
