Chinese herbs & slacker moms

I don’t like those ads that generate based on the content of the page you’re viewing. I see how it makes sense from a marketing standpoint, but no matter. Here are the top 2 that I hate:

  • Did you know that Chinese herbs can easily treat Friedreich’s Ataxia?” Oh really? So I’m just sitting here while my abilities deteriorate, waiting for various drug trials and FDA approvals all for nothing, when I could be taking Chinese herbs? Well I’ll be damned. I guess if I was uneducated about my disease, and gullible to boot, they might entice me to waste money on their site…and that’s just sad.
  • Are you a Perfect Mom or a Slacker Mom? Take the Fun Quiz Today!” What is this, the fun online quiz to see if you’re a child abuser? It mainly frustrates me because it comes up on my gmail all the time and I have NO idea why. Nothing in the content of the emails I’m reading relates to parenting. Also, I’m not a mom at all, so I don’t really give a crap.

That’s all…for now. I’ll be sure and let yinz know if I find any FA-beneficial herbs. For now my hopes lie in idebenone and deferiprone- more on those soon.
