Theory of Fat #9

I've been having a lot of aching muscles lately with no obvious cause. This has happened many times before, and will probably happen again. I was reading about myalgia (muscle pain) and one of the suspected causes is a virus. What if one our body's defenses against an invader was to bottle it up in a fat cell? You catch a bug, your body locks up the bad guys in fat cells. You get better, but you gain weight. Should you try and lose weight, the fat cells discorporate and the virus that was bottled up inside is turned loose and you get sick again. Your body reacts the same way, and you gain more weight. No way you are ever going to loose weight, at least not without some painkillers. Maybe that's why so many Americans are so fat: they get around more, get exposed to more diseases, catch more diseases, and fat is one of the bodies ways of dealing with them. And maybe that's why heroin is so popular.

I read a story one time about a guy a long time ago who was constantly ill. He moved to the Big Bend area of Texas, found a hot spring and soaked in it. Cured him, so he set up a spa. Was a going business for quite a while. Hot springs, steam baths, and saunas all have the same effect of giving one an artificial fever. Sometimes I think I should start using one, see if it does me any good. 21 days in row though. That could be kind of tough. Meanwhile there's Naproxen.

So why is this theory #9? So I could post this tune.
