Probably one of those things that sounds better than it works since passing them still seems to be the thing. Sorry pal,I hope it is not a chronic problem for you.

I got stoned about the same time as one of my colleagues at work. His doctor told him the problem was his diet. My doctor said diet had nothing to do with it, it was a regional problem due to minerals in the drinking water. My surgeon used the laser. His used ultrasound. Each was convinced the other method was ineffective, if not downright dangerous quackery. We both recovered nicely. Chocolate may have nothing to do with it.
