Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

A female bodybuilder training for a competition began to experience weakness and numbness every afternoon.  She went to her primary care physician a total of eight times, receiving diagnoses ranging from the flu, to pneumonia.  After repeated blood tests, she was prescribed medicine and rest, all to no avail.  Finally, she mentioned the symptoms to her trainer, who determined that one of the supplements she was taking was causing her symptoms.  He instructed her to stop taking the supplements.  Three days later, she was back to normal.
