May I get your opinions on something?
I just tacked this onto an email to someone in my class ( i wrote it this morning in an effort to procrastinate):
On a different note, thought you might enjoy a little something from renal physiology from a few centuries back:
It being the months of winter- those months prone to an excess of phlegm (the humor not the by-product) that has the qualities of cold and wet, it is best to counter it with foods that are of choleric qualities (warm and dry). For this I would suggest some white and refined sugar with your next meal. It is by nature warm in the first degree and dry in the second and is useful for purifying the body and good for the kidneys and bladder. Be careful of taking it in excess however for it may cause excess thirst and moves bilious humors. If all else fails, you might want to try some carnes camelorum (the meat of a camel) useful for those engaged in heavy work and suffer from melancholia. (derived from Tacuinum Sanitatis - medieval health handbook)
Was it over the top? Will I be labeled odd forever? I guess I'm just not sure about the audience....what type of person would respond BADLY to this type of email? :)
