...... eating pineapples is much more pleasant than chemo... and many medicines.

That's why I believe people are so eager to poo poo their doctor and medicine..... because it's not fun and comes with sickness and fear.

But if you understand that curing things can be unpleasant for a while.... but effective in the end...

Hell, you're own immune system make healing unpleasant for a time with fevers and swelling and redness and so forth.... but in the long run it works.
