April 4, 2008 – Margaret's Corner

It’s Friday, and I don’t feel like posting about anything too serious. But I did want to say something about BCM-95. A few blog readers have sent me messages about this supposedly more bioavailable form of curcumin. I would like to point out that BCM-95 is Biocurcumax, which is made by the Arjuna company located in India (you can check out its website). Sherlock and I tested Biocurcumax a couple of months ago, and our numbers, I am sorry to say, worsened. So it didn’t work for us. It may work for others, of course, and also for different ailments (arthritis and whatnot). But I am not going to risk taking it ever again.

My cousin (thanks!) sent me a very amusing link yesterday (well done!). It gives food for thought, not that we need any convincing in this particular field, I’m sure…! At any rate, even if you have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, please check it out: http://tinyurl.com/2gq3vh Besides, it is the only way today’s post title will make any sense . My favourites: “Chewbroccoli” ( = Chewbacca) and “Dark Tater" (guess who?).

May the Farm be with you!

P.S. If you haven’t yet seen the April Fools 2008 "amazing flying penguins" BBC video, here it is: http://tinyurl.com/29csjp (and yes, it’s a joke, but so well done! I have added it to my FUNNY/cute video links, which I will keep updating as I come across funny stuff; today I added a few more links, by the way).
