The mission of Mellow Monk Green Tea is to provide our customers with green tea grown and processed by family-owned and -operated farms in Japan. This blog is a forum for presenting not just information about our green tea and our growers, but also topics related to this mission, including green tea in general, health and wellness, and philosophies conducive to living a mellow life. This blog also covers Japan: the people, the culture, and all things Japanese.
Previously I wrote a post about studies showing that visits by dogs increased heart attack victims' chances of survival.
Now, another study warns that 80 percent of these "therapy dogs" may carry diseases that are infectious to humans.

This is an account of one man who traveled to Camaroon to deliberately become infected with hookworm because of one of the disease's documented side effects: it cures severe asthma and hayfever.
Hookworm will never take off as an extreme asthma treatment. Instead, the promise lies in isolating the chemical compounds released by the worm that stop asthma and other auto-immune diseases.
