Sharratt asked, snapping a pair of rubber gloves over her fingers, suddenly looking more like a surgeon than a sparkly eyed spokesperson for the new age of holistic healing. She grabbed my hands, then feet, using what looked like a pen to prod each acupuncture point with an even pressure. The machine could even suggest whether my gall bladder problem was psychological. In the case of my gall bladder, remedy identification required a second whirl on the machine. According to the instruction sheet, drops had to be held in mouth for 30-60 seconds before swallowing.
Drops are very delicate and vulnerable to outside influences.
Keep away from any electrical sources such as computers, TVs, cellphones, microwaves and x-rays. Do not expose to strong smells. I was told to drink a thimbleful three times a day and come back in three weeks for a follow-up test. All of which probably leads you to believe that either I was about to be spectacularly suckered by mumbo jumbo posing as medical science, or that I was the unsuspecting victim of an alien medical experiment. Neither, as it turned out, could explain the overwhelming fatigue that set in shortly after tasting my first few drops.
