Throat pain this morning, like a strep throat feeling.. (maybe a 2.5 or 3 on the 1 to 10 scale) has me worried.

Hot green decaf tea helps and I've been drinking lots of water.

I read somewhere about water and oral cancers having some link??? Was I hallucinating?

Anyway, I read about Dr. Masaru Emoto's water crystal experiments.

Sounds crazy, but I am writting CANCER CURE on each bottle of water I drink and visualize it killing the cancer as I feel it enter my body.

I guess "hope" has overpowered my normal "skeptism".

I have a quick question too: The surgery nurse told me not to take aspirin 5 to 7 days before the surgery (obviously because of the blood thinning effects), and it's for this reason I have stopped taking Omega 3 suppliments...But, there was another anti-pain med she told me not to take and I can't recall if it was Tylenol or Ibuprofren..? I need to take 'something' for the throat pain, occassional headaches and earache. Any thoughts?
