There's this pig that's feeling under the weather. He goes to the doctor and is like "Doc, I've been sick all week, you gotta help me." The doctor pauses for a moment, considering options, and finally says "Okay, this is an age old remedy. Here's what I need you to do. Before you go in your mud pile, I want you to fill it with salt and sugar. Then, lay in there like you usually would. Call me in a week and let me know how you feel."
So a week goes by and the pig calls the doctor. "Oh, so how are you feeling," asks the doctor. "Better?"
"Better?" exclaims the pig. "I'm cured!"
