INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.

Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).

You forgot one:

hey Weis -
where did you get them remedies? I've been looking for a good collection of homeopathic treatments.

[weishaupt1776]

Someone sent me an email, so I thought I'd post it here so I wouldn't lose it.
Those are NOT homeopathic, though.

[weasel]

I know. Herbal, homeopathic, I'm interested as long as its not a drug.

Curcumin (turmeric) allows the blood to clot normally so a clotting factor test is useless.* The way you tell you are taking too much is when you start to bruise easily.* A friend of mine thought if a little was good a whole lot would be better and he was bruising all over his arm, so I told him to cut back at least half.* You can bleed internally if you take too much like any blood thinner.
*
Be sure and mix it*50/50 with ginger and 250 mg of each*should be adequate.* You will notice the difference in bleeding but the blood will clot nearly as well.* The only effective*way to determine the effect of curcumin as far as I know is to look at live blood samples for red cell distribution.* Clotting and Stacking is generally observed in poorly distributed red cells.* When the Russians do CBC (white cell) counts, they observe the clumping and stacking of red cells and if noted document it.* So far they have never seen it in my blood where I take curcumin everyday.
*
Look on the net and see if there is anyone near you who does the live blood review.* I help a doctor once who did it and he invited me to see it.* I even took my friends and you will discover things you never knew existed.* For instance one friend had black bumps all over his red cells unlike me.* Another had a long worms in his blood, obviously parasites.* Clumping and stacking was common and was always corrected with turmeric and ginger after a few weeks.
*
For parasites eat a few cloves*(spice) regularly and see if you can find candied whole*green walnuts from Georgia in the grocery store.* They are delicious but expensive.* The alternative is a tincture of green walnut shells, which I made myself as I knew where there were several trees and picked up the walnuts that fell prematurely.* You just use the green part of the husk and not any dark brown part .* The cloves kill the eggs and the green walnut shells kill the adults.* You can use Dr. Clarks zapper as well which costs about a dollar to build your self.* You can the schematic off the web or ask me to post it to the group.
*
Hawthorne is sold in all the Pharmacies in Russia and Belarus.* I think the value of it is in its diuretic properties as it is a natural diuretic.* They sell the berries which you make a alcohol*tincture out of, powder and boil as tea and they*use it in various heart syrups and balsams (alcohol tinctures,*including medicinal*wine in Russia).* I have used all these products with success.*
*
Horsetail is usually another heart ingredient in most remedies as it is a rich source of silicon and is found all over the country in wet areas.* I harvest it and make a tea which I put in the fridge to add to dark red grape juice for the flavor of the horsetail is not very pleasing on its own.* Horsetail is also sometimes called joint grass and looks like a pine tree in miniature, growing about four feet tall generally depending on how much water it gets.

that last site says to do the kidney cleanse first. I have always read to do the LIVER cleanse first, then the kidney cleanse :hmmm Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe i have it backwards but I would's swore.

Want a good one for fevers:
Cut an onion in half, put the portion with the rings touch the heel of the foot. Tie on with sock or bandage. Helps to put a sock on top so you don't loose it. Go to bed. It'll break in a few hours. I speak from experience with my whole family!

On the tooth decay/cavities - I have found that Black walnut works AWESOME! Not only is it good at killing the cavity, but it restores enamel, gets rid of plaque and gingivitis, and restores to holes in the teeth. Brush with black walnut powder. you could just buy the capsules and open them up to put the powder on the toothbrush. Do this after you brush with your regular toothpaste. I had an awesome link on it once but can't find it anymore :( I read a testimony of one woman who hadn't been to the dentist for years. Brushed with black walnut for 2 weeks prior to the visit and dentist told her that her teeth were better than anyone's coming in there on a regular basis. No plaque whatsoever!! I brush with it when I notice my teeth starting to get sensitive. It's also a natural whitener ;) a recipie for ggod toothpaste too: http://www.estherslegacy.homestead.c...STERECIPE.html
