****** I love artichokes.  Artichokes are one of those thinks that  look strange to some people who don’t like to try new foods I thinkk. Another ones is mushrooms. Most kids I knew in  elementary  school & high school said they didn’t like mushrooms. Very few people I’ve met since high school don’t like mushrooms. Miss Kitty

Response:

Oh, my dear andyr, thank you for all the hard work and misery you went through so we could know about this strange thing called artichoke extract! I too have never had an artichoke, only because I never got past it’s looks. Now that you have played guinea pig, I *know* I won’t take the extract. <VBG> Hugs,  Linda

Response:

Ok.  So someone told me that taking Artichoke extract will help my UC.  Of course, being the natural guinea pig that I am, I figured I would look into it. First, let me tell you, I have never eaten an artichoke in my life.  Not because I heard bad things about them, but mostly because they are one butt-ugly fruit, or vegetable or whatever.  I mean, they look like some genetically altered cactus or something.  I was always afraid that if I ate one (or at least figured out HOW you were supposed to eat one) that it would shoot out of the center of my chest like the little guy in the movie Aliens. Next, I looked into what artichoke is supposed to do for you.  The handy pamphlet, featuring pictures of Happy Vitamin People on it, that I got at the pharmacy said that it helps your liver, your stomach and various other interal organs that I would not be able to identify without the direct involvement of a doctor.  Since I dont actually know that these organs are bad in me, I didnt think that helping them would hurt much. Then side effects.  The web said that the biggest was ‘flatulence’. Considering the fact that on a daily basis, I leak more air than the Goodyear Blimp in a tornado, flatulence is no big deal.  I have perfected various gas-reducing maneuvers to combat this, such as the One Cheek Sneak, The Blame It On The Dog and my personal favorite The Loud Sneeze At The Same Time Coverup. Then I went into cost.  Not knowing exactly how many artichokes need to be extracted into a single pill really caused some problems for me.  I didnt know what one cost.  I didnt know if there were a ‘better’ part, like maybe artichoke root extract was better than artichoke head extract (do artichokes even have heads? or fronds? or what?  maybe those finger things are like human replacement pods or something…)  Did they just mash em all up and thats better? Since I was at an impass, I used the method that we scientists call ‘grabbing the first g*d*mned bottle’ that was on the shelf. Only to find that compared to their cost either a) Artichokes are made out of pure gold or b) Artichoke extract manufacturers have a really high price mark up. Anyways, after 2 weeks of taking these things, I do not feel any different. My penis has not gotten larger.  My breasts have not gotten fuller or more shapely.  And most of all I havent seen any noticeable difference in my UC. (I did notice that my gas output has remained consistent with my pre-extract days, which is far from a benefit by any means) I have lost considerable weight in the area of my wallet though.  So maybe that is a bonus, I am not quite sure yet.  Should I develop super powers, or ex-ray vision from these things I will be sure to keep everyone informed. (If I do develop ex-ray vision, I am going right down to the womens aerobics class immediately!) I will keep everyone updated.  But the way things look, I probably should go back to work on the Crapitron.   (By the way I hear George Lucas is working on Star Wars Episode 4: The Death Stool, which should be quite exciting for all of us with IBD) Andy
