Sakana!!!

Japan! It is a series of islands in the ocean the size of California! Lots of islands, hundreds of them, four of them are the largest. Islands in the sea. That means "Sakana!!!"- a lot of fish to eat! Fish fixed in an endless variety of ways! Fried, grilled, boiled, raw! In soup, in dumblings, in pudding! Sakana!!!

This fish diet has done wonders for me! I must tell you that I have suffered from migraines all my adult life. I have had all kinds of tests. I have been to acupuncture. I have tried different diets. Diets without milk, chocolate, gluten. I carry migraine meds wherever I go. And I loaded up with them for this trip.

I was brainstorming with my friend, Dr. Artie Ann Bates, from up on Elk Creek before I left. She was wondering about fish oil as an anti-inflamatory. I take fish oil tablets. But when I noticed the abundance of fish at meals here in Japan I thought, "Might as well give it a try. Fresh fish has got to be better than tablets." I have not had a headache for over a month now. Sakana!!!
