The cure
There is only 1 instant and verified cure which will stop you from being nerdy, but, it has terrible consequences. If you take this cure, you may get a few of the following side effects:

Other cures have also been found, yet none of them last for long, these cures are:
 * Playing the guitar - Lasts for 1 hour
 * Dancing - Lasts for 3 hours
 * Taking your puffle for a walk - Lasts for 2 hours
 * Saying "I'm not a nerd" over and over - makes you dizzy, lasts for 4 hours
