Thanks! “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41247806 Baking soda fixes everything. I thought it made you vomit if you swallowed it? No, not small amounts. I take 1/4 teaspoon or less each day. I never get sick. If I get a cold its gone in a few days as opposed to weeks. Athletes take it for better performance. I feeling when I don't have it in my system. I take no medications, only a little baking soda. It cures everything. |

Yes. A few drops of food grade %30 hydrogen peroxide is very effective. Most people dont realise that hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced by our white blood cells to kill foriegn invaders. Hydrogen peroxide is known a H2O2. It is just water with an extra oxygen atom attached to it. It is harmless in low dosages. Make sure it is food grade, as other grades have stabilizers added. |
Vision Thing User ID: 53235102 United States 01/23/2014 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Try this: Heat up some apple juice or apple cider (100% juice, no sugar or corn syrup) Put it in a cup with about a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (preferably a raw, health food store type). The juice and the honey is really just to get the vinegar down, but I don't think they'll even know it's there. In the past I would get terrible, terrible coughs, really bad bronchitis that would last several weeks. I've kind of grown out of it now but the few times I've had picked up a chest cold and cough in the last decade or so, I tried this vinegar to cure a cough and wished I would have known about it before, it would have saved me a lot of grief. I learned about it on Earth Clinic: here's their page for coughs, lots of home remedies to experiment with: [link to earthclinic.com] One thing I've done the last few years is take more vitamin D, I take a wide range of vitamins and supplements but I think the vitamin D is what's kept me from getting colds and coughs. Not just that, but it's helped. |

MirrorImage User ID: 22211735 United States 01/23/2014 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Over a year ago I discovered an essential oil called RC by Young Living. Best money I ever spent. Other than a few natural throat drops, I've not had to buy any cold, cough or flu meds for anyone in my home. It lasts a very long time as you only use a drop on your upper lip below the nose when you go to bed or just open the bottle and sniff as needed when awake. I discovered this thru a Young living dealer who heard me coughing at work for over 3 weeks. He gave me a sample and I used it that night. I slept the whole night. When I awoke refreshed for once, I started coughing but instead of that dry hacking go nowhere bent over bruising the ribs and heaving into the can and laying there exhausted and hurting cough, I actually coughed and was able to feel that the congestion in my chest had broken. In less then a week, my cough was gone. I have also learned that cinnamon is a great 'bad' bacteria killer for the mouth. It does burn the throat a bit at first but if you can handle Altoids then you are set. They work best as they are strong but won't overload your system either. I keep them handy as I work with many people and only had one cold try to start and stopped it in 3 days. I had an infection in my jaw 2 weeks ago (after heavy chem trailing in our area) - almost as if someone had snuck up on me and punched me in the joint of the jaw. If not for a body rub with Arnica and knowing how to stretch the tendons for relief, I would have ended up with another huge doctor bill. Interested in reading if others have discovered these handle little tidbits of healthy preventions and relievers. Sometimes, just standing still will give you the answer. |
