Aaron Rodgers would rather lie to everybody than get a tiny needle stick and a lifesaving vaccine. But he’s perfectly willing to spend 12 days blowing it out both ends, dry heaving and crapping himself constantly. No, he isn’t downing week old trout left out in the sun and welcoming in a case of food poisoning, although the results are much the same. It’s called Panchkarma, an Indian cleansing ritual that you won’t find many doctors in this country getting anywhere near. It involves ingesting Ghee, which is clarified butter, and then the following happens:
Induced vomiting helps clear the upper gastro till the duodenum (end of stomach) and part of the respiratory tract.
Induced purgation clears the lower gastro from the duodenum (end of stomach) till the exit.
Oil enema helps lubricate the rectal area and take out all the lipid soluble waste out through the anus.
Nasal instillation of medicated substances helps clear the respiratory tract and paranasal sinuses.
Decoction enema cleanses the area from the transverse colon till the anus.
It sounds like a brain-melting body-destroying round trip through hell that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, but for Rodgers I think it’s just about right.
