Episode Notes
Good morning, Les. How you doing?
I'm doing great. How are you, Ed?
Excellent, sir.
Right on.
What are you uh
just Friday morning having my cup of tea? What are you drinking?
I got a little bit of dregs of coffee.
Dregs of coffee. What kind of coffee do you drink?
Of coffee. I get this stuff um I think it's UC. I can't remember. Yeah.
And you buy a box and there's 50 packets of coffee in there.
It's all real coffee. It's not instant.
And you you hang it in the cup.
The little origami packs they're called. Right.
Okay. And then you pour the water over and and it's got a filter holding the coffee. Throw away the filter. But it's real coffee. It's not instant.
It's single cup but not instant.
Single cup. And it's really tasty.
Excellent.
My recommendation. Yeah.
You drink coffee every morning?
I drink coffee every morning.
How many cups? Some mornings one, some mornings two.
What do you like in it?
My second cup.
I like it, but I don't have cream every day.
Cream or milk?
Cream. Milk is bad for me.
Why is that?
I have an autoimmune disease. I have a disease, a genetic disease.
And milk affects it, but cream does not.
Yep.
Interesting. Very interesting.
I I could go into a long side topic about that about the my speculations. But at any rate, I know if I drink the coffee with milk in it, I'm going to feel painful for three weeks.
Pain?
Pain?
In your stomach?
No, in my joints. I have arthritis.
Oh, okay. Okay. So, it's not a lactose intolerance. It's some sort of autoimmune reaction to milk.
Bingo. It's autoimmune.
How about cheese or yogurt or ice cream.
Just milk.
Just milk.
That is inexplicable. Not that I'm an expert, but that doesn't make doesn't make sense, but it must make sense.
I've lived with it for the last uh well, I I got the dis I the disease was first diagnosed when I was 23.
Okay. Or 24. I came back to Canada. My doctor said, "You've got this." And When I was about 30 h 38 or 40, I started uh running and I gave up milk.
And then when I gave up milk, everything just started getting magically better.
Pain in the joints.
Yep. And then I I went uh traveling with the family and I had coffee with milk in it. Bang. I was painful for another three weeks.
So doctors looked at
what?
Sorry. Sorry. Doctors looked at it. Doctors helped you with it. But nothing really got better until you figured out that milk was the cause
or a cause.
Well, I was taking I took medicine every day, painkillers for about 20 years.
Yeah.
And then when I when I found out that if I stopped drinking milk, I got a lot better. I didn't get a lot better. I got somewhat better. And then the the disease has two stages. I moved into the second stage which is they call it post-inflammatory.
Yeah. Yeah.
And so with If I drink the milk, it gets bad, but if I don't drink the milk, I have no problem.
All right. Well, it's a good thing. You know, a lot of these things, it's just it's figuring it out, going step by step. Try this, try that. And I found the same thing with with several issues. I have physical issues, um, health issues that
you think it's one thing, it's not. You try something else. And, and trial and error, I guess, until you figure it out. And then when you do figure it out, you're happy. So, that's good.
And I think That is how life is. Life is trial and error.
Yeah. Okay. Well, then so in your coffee, cream.
Cream.
In your cereal.
Don't have cereal. I have yogurt and muesli.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Very healthy. Excellent.
Very healthy. Yeah.
But every morning it's a cup of coffee or two.
Yes.
Do you drink tea?
Never. I don't like tea. It's watery. I'm I like some tea, but it's too watery.
We are so different, you and I.
We are so different
but the same. Two sides of the same coin.
Opposites attract.
Good.
And on that note, I'll be slowly moving away. Goodbye.
Goodbye. Got to go.
I'm doing great. How are you, Ed?
