Quick Tips and Hints
Quick Tips and Hints
Eating fresh grapefruit helps dry eyes
Formaldehyde is in air fresheners.
Breast milk cures pink eye, heals sores and diaper rash.
Cold whole milk on a sterile wound pad will soften skin.
Cloth dipped in beaten egg whites and placed on bottom
of feet will draw out fever.
Pau de Arco tincture helps cure flu.
Coffee filters clean glass.
Three to ten minute cool showers will keep skin from
drying out.
Aloe juice at room temperature will stop earache.
(fill ear...wait five minutes...empty.....repeat one more time)
Severe lower backaches may be caused by trapped gas.
Cure: Sip some 7up or Sprite and make yourself burp.
You will be amazed at the amount of gas that will begin to
come up and the pain will lessen. Keep sipping and
burping until as much as possible escapes..
If you massage from your knees to groin in a sitting down
position it will help release the gas as well. (Just squeeze
thigh with thumb and forefinger from knee to groin and repeat
on both legs)
For those of you who live in cold climates, wear one of these
masks outside, when shoveling or working.
You may look funny, but you won't believe how warm you
will feel when you breathe only warm air into your lungs.
:)
Sure way to kill plantar warts. Take some old fingernail
polish and paint it over entire wart. In a few days
you can peel the wart off and it won't come back.
Throw polish away.
Should only take one application.

'The Final Gift'
'The Final Gift'
Make them let you go
Before you leave
So they won't grieve
For you have done your best
And they all passed the test
They'll be fine
For they are wise and strong
And someday they will pass
This greatest gift...along.

The Three Week Flu
The Three Week Flu
We are just now recovering from the worst flu germ we have ever had.
It comes on fast with bad cold symptoms.
It involves stuffed head, pain behind the eyes, endless nose dripping, bad cough, earaches, pain in
all muscles and bones
of the body, total exhaustion,
loss of appetite, dry skin, lots of sweating, feelings of
detachment, need for sleep at all hours, lots of urination, dry nose and cold sores.
I may have forgotten some other symptoms
as I don't feel too sharp even tho I now think
it is finally leaving my body.
I began fighting it as soon as I felt the cold coming on. Usually any one of the following
works but this germ got the full dose and I feel lucky to have survived.
I began by putting Kloss's formula
in my nose, a few drops a day for a week. Then I sipped water with oil of oregano in it. (6 drops per 16 ounces of water). I made three batches of soup, (one batch per week) with an entire BULB of garlic and one Whole onion, in each batch,
added to kill germs.
I made, chicken, beef and beef cabbage soup.
I had water boiling on the stove to keep the
air moist so we could breathe. I did meditation and prayer each day. We took hot showers.
We slept whenever we were too weak to do otherwise. We had several bouts of sweating when we thought it had finally run the course, only to find it hadn't. We gargled with oil of oregano water which stopped the sore throat. Each day we look at each other and talk about our symptoms and shake our heads that it keeps tormenting us. My husband got it three days before I did and he is getting stronger now so I have hope. I also drank four glasses per day of Emergen-C containing one gram of C each plus lots of vitamins. My husband drank grape juice each day. We also ate grapefruit some mornings. It is all kinda hazy but I think I remember most of it.
We couldn't believe it hung on so long.
As soon as we are able, we will scrub down the entire house and steam the rooms with our floor steamer so as to make sure the germ is gone
before we allow any guests over to visit. Stay away from crowds. Keep your hands washed and keep them away from your face. I pray that you will never get this persistent flu germ.
