The average Mexican has an idea of at least SOME medicinal foods, for when situations arise. Most of the special Mexican delicacies I can think of are also touted as medicinal in some way, a lot of times having to do with digestive health. I find it interesting that Mexican's regularly consume foods that are considered powerful medicines. I resolved to look into it more, and what I found was surprising. He googled it and found that lime is another highly medicinal food, so he gave it a shot. John came back with what's probably the last lime on that tree, explaining this situation to me. He mentioned that he had been sick and our vecino responded with "1 coke, 1 lime, that's it" making motions to show that it would clean out his digestive system. So today John visited our vecino(neighbor) as we was hoping to get his help chopping back the jungle for a little while today. The point is that we're both doing much better than we were. That's hard to say without having seen a doctor. There's a chance my dengue symptoms could have been this just presenting itself differently in me than it did in John, as a lot of the symptoms and progression of symptoms were pretty similar to my illness. I won't go into much about it here (the wikipedia article is comprehensive, and slightly gross), but it's been killing a lot of people in the world in recent years, so this one's no joke. It's a worldwide illness, common in just about every country. A few nights ago, John got pretty suddenly violently ill, with something that we eventually traced back to Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) for short. Today I learned, Mexican's use coke and lime together as a medicine for digestive upset.
