I recall when my daughters were children and a neighbour's daughter had German measles, my late wife invited this woman's daughter to play with our girls for this very reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Animals are the typical example of exposure to potentially harmful substances yet, when in the wild, they are normally amazingly healthy. Fruits and vegetables develop bacteria on their skins or outer surfaces to help prevent disease so why do we wash in hot water and use soaps? Why not, instead, learn from nature rather than trying to teach it that it is mistaken?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chili peppers are getting a good press lately so I have been taking some raw, followed by a piece of cheese to cool the burning mouth. Afterwards there is a nice warm sensation in both the stomach and, should it be said, on the soles of the feet too; like good sex, it makes them curl! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wong is not sure how it works. He theorizes that there is scar tissue and fibrin in the ducts, and that the enzymes help to dissolve the scar tissue and the fibrin.&lt;/p&gt;
