Lemons ain't no lemon!

This is an email I just sent to ABC Radio National's "Life Matters" after their program about lemon 'products' in the typical sense of the word.

Hey!

The use of the fruit name "lemon" I suggest, to denote a failed or imperfect product or such, may well be a Lemon, if not a fraud on society?

Negative beliefs are reinforced in one's mind each time we hear

"Lemon tree very pretty,
and the lemons are so sweet,
but the fruit of the lemon,
is not good enough to eat!"

What is the actual "lemon's" history in relation to medicine???

Lemons are known by all to be Good medicine for many maladies, yes?

Nature's 'weapon' against the rising force of religious alchemists- today's pharmaceutical corporations.

Growin'-up in Melbourne's eastern "burbles" in the 1950 and '60s, many-maybe-most settled and recent families had a lemon tree in the yard, and it was the first thing the Mum's went for, for numerous things - for colds and flu, bleaching, antiseptic, washing, cooking, odour-eating, contraceptive (not that I knew about that then), anti-HIV virus (well, not back THEN) and some skin conditions, I believe.

Lemon is a must in an anti-flu or anti-congestive drink, and on and on.

So, Ms Jules McCrossin, before you go slanging the Good Fruit with bad Christian beliefs, CHECK YOUR FACTS, about the humble old Lemon and why failures are so called!

I wouldn't put it past the bastards of Christian or Judaic alchemy-cum-science-and-medicine of whatever era the denigration began, to do what the pharma's have done over the last fifty years to Cannabis, which is to demonise whichever natural product or original medicine may interfere with their own greedy-cum-psychopathic wealth-and-power trip.

Lemon may well be put in the same "demonised" basket as the Good Herb, Marijuana, and may also therefore, in these "Enlightened Days" (bet they said that in the Dark Ages of Jeff Kennett?!), demand restitution by YOU! into the typical bathroom medicine chest etc., of yer Bewdifool Ossies.

May the Perfect Medicine, be Your Inspiration!

PS: On another note: "When did the "slaughter gene" get into the Celtic Man's DNA?" Do you even want to go there???


Ride-on!
