When I had my MS attack,
Something went wrong with my nerves in the brain.
I underwent a protocol of chemotherapy,
9 doses of Novantrone,
It was very plain to see,
That after only 3 doses my brain began to mend itself,
By the will of God and good fortune,
I began to speak and write again.
Novantrone was blue in nature,
Kind of deep blue of the Blue Grotto,
Deeper then Gatorade,
But the same shade of blue.
When I first chemotherapy was finished,
-it was before St. Patty’s Day,
If I dare may say.
It was an unbelievable scene,
For in the bathroom of the hospital room,
-I peed green.
Now I have read that something blue can help out spinal injuries.
The blue candy coating of M&M’s and Gatorade may hold some keys.
I wonder if Novantrone and BBG, Brilliant Blue G,
-are related.
The only fall back is the rats that spinal injuries,
-that were treated,
And progressed,
- they unfortunately turned blue.
Who knew?
Oxidized Adenosine triphosphate seems to be the key in BBG.
Could this be a situation of circumstance?
Does anybody out there know how to ‘Smurf’ dance?
