Welcome back.  ;)

I've seen some "proof" in some alternative places that are reasonably
respectable, or at least some acceptance of empirical results...  But,
again, while the factor percentage may be a little higher there, it
still has been for no known reason.  It's been sufficient that I'm not
avoiding any of the nightshades... of course, my arthitis is quite mild
compared to hers... i.e. extremely early stages...  :)

 JW> So if your mother thinks it is helping its bound to be a placebo

Or at least partly (probably in large part) a placebo effect... Not
telling her that either... at least not too often... ;)

 JW> Tomatoes and chipotles together.... serve it over French fries!

I can just SEE her cringe... (G)  I, OTOH, might just try it... once,
anyway...  ;)  French fries aren't my favorite version of the tuber, and
I have to be careful with what tomatoes to do my reflux...  ;)

 JW> Title: Bacon And Tomato Guacamole

This, however, looks promising...  :)

... I still have a full deck, I just shuffle slower now.
