As far as folks with upset stomach, one thing that, depending on the cause, is often effective, are the various cola drinks, and the clear ones like Sprite, Slice, 7-Up and others help -- it can be the combination of the phosphoric acid, any citric acid too, the carbonated water, the various ingredients to buffer so that it is not too acidic, and there is citrus juice in just about all of them . . . Coca-Cola has, inter alia, lime juice, vanilla, coriander, extract of coca leaves with all but maybe a few parts per billion of the C-Jam taken out, and the caffeine . . . they all were invented as medicines back in the day and a lot of doctors remember this, to recommend a stomachache and/or nausea cure which is more innocuous than Compazine or the other stronger stuff which is needed in more extreme cases. Cherry and vanilla syrups help too, and if I am not mistaken as manufacturers know well, and something somewhat similar to Cherry Coke was in the US Pharmacopoeia, Österreichisches Arzneibuch, Schweizerischen Pharmakopöe and so forth at one point or another . . . and do folks remember when the Coca-Cola seriously stepped on their dick in 1986 or so getting rid of the Decocainised Coca Leaf Extract for political reasons? I think New Coke was still on the market until 1990 in places where they also throw folks in the calaboose for poppy-seed bagels, like to lop off heads, think the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is big time investigative journalism so it is in the newspaper serialised every four months or so, and they sew girls' snatch shut and other such things . . .
