I personally have never tried it - well if I had....I don't cut corners on anything I do myself, so if I had, I would not be telling anyone about it (well maybe a psychic).
However I can tell you right now, if I ever did get sick enough to consider it at all, and was definitely no way to cure it. Well all you are going to accomplish by attempting is angering me more - and will end up actually witnessing it if you don't back off.
NOW AGAIN no one panic - this is NOT a plan, it's just stating IF it were you better stay out of my way.
