Wine Cures Poison Ivy

Well, it doesn't really cure it, because I still have a nasty rash from my wrist to my armpit. But it sure as hell makes the incessant itching more bearable.

Is wine a cure-all? So it seems. Just ask Doktor Weingolb. Wine has been his echinacea all Winter long & he did not catch a cold this winter, thanks to his regimen of a glass of wine a day (c'mon Dok...is it really only one glass a day?). Come to think of it...La or myself have not been sick in quite sometime.

It has to be the wine...or the healthy lifestyle that come with enjoying wine. By that I mean we enjoy wine but also food & both together...good food too. We cook using raw ingredients & never cook crap, such as instant this-or-that or microwavable slop, sold for pure convenience (except Ore-Ida french fries...I LOVE THOSE!). We don't eat fast food or even eat out at restaurants very much (once a week, maybe twice). We don't live this lifestyle because we are health nuts though. It is for pure pleasure & enjoyment. I guess the healthiness is part of the enjoyment too, but it is not the main pursuit.

My poison ivy is itching again, so I am thinking I need some more Merlot.
