Cure for Citrus Canker - Not!

[Charlie Monoxide]

You gotta love Florida. For the last while it's been cursed with 'citrus canker'. This canker causes major health problems for the citrus trees it attacks, but is harmless to people. The only effective control is to destroy the affected trees and hope it doesn't spread to others.

It seems Katherine Harris (yes THAT Katherine Harris) has encouraged some of the state workers to look into 'Celestial Drops' as a potential cure for canker. Yup, homeopathy for trees. According to the article, Florida gets lots of claims for 'canker cures', but insists on proof before testing. Not in this case.

The irony of this story is the world's best crap-buster, namely James Randi lives here in the Sunshine state, and I'm sure would have provided free advice.

I have actually noticed homeopathy works great for all my plants. Once a weak I add an incredibly strong homeopathic solution to my plants. It really perks them up.

Of course, my solution is mixture of all known homeopathic cures which is why it is so effective.

Charlie, in all the time I've lurked here, and the short time I've posted here I have only come across one true mystery:












Do you have to come up with a parenthetical for your signature before you start typing, or does it come to you as you are writing a post? Seriously.

Actually most of my posts are usually a "knee jerk" reaction to the topic. I do a quick preview to correct spelling errors, but typically keep the main gist of the content. As for my parenthetically patented signature, it's always an afterthought. Sometimes I have to stop and think about it for about 30 seconds, but I usually type in my "stream of consciousness" shortly after I enter a reponse.

Though I doubt he's on her rolodex of conservative and religious folks to ask for advice
