Anybody still use the old remedies?

I wish I did. I get them frequently, mainly when I'm lying in bed. When I start having them, I have to get up and walk it off. Someone told me it was due to dehydration. Even after drinking lots of water, I still get them.

Try pickle juice as a source of electrolites.

Our grandparents were of the belief that to rid the body of the bad required remedies that rid the body of those bad things. Cod Liver Oil, Muster plasters on your chest, Milk of magnesia, etc etc.
We survived so I can't say they were totally wrong. Maybe they were more right then we care to agree with.
Modern medicine seems to come with a lot of cautions, side effects etc. Here, take this for your kidney issues, but check with your doctor about side effects to your high Blood pressure or liver issues, etc, etc, etc.
We have no doctors that know us anymore. We are blood test and scans. No longer individuals with unique issues, makeup or physical differences. Therein lays the problem for us and for the doctors as well. We no longer connect.
Why, because business took over the medical business.

Exactly…

When I get sick, like a flu or cold I find that I just want to lay down, watch TV and suck on a warm bottle of coke. Why? because when I was a kid coke syrup, which you bought at the drug store was a cough surpressent .

I don't like dill pickle juice (too bitter), but if bread and butter pickle juice would work, I would be willing to try it. I always have some of that on hand.

My father, God rest, use to get hydrogen peroxide, mix it with water and put it in my ear. It would gurgle and fizz and then I would turn my ear over for it to come out. Don't know if it was good or beneficial but I could hear better?????

I still do that!
