Coughing?
Coughing
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally),
put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then
cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5
minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the
time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription
cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and
they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council
describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were
investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in
children as compared to alternative therapies like accupressure. Just
happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why
cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical
makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprising finding and
found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at
bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children
who then went on to sleep soundly. An adult friend tried it on herself when
she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it
worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her,
coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (
incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept
cough-free for hours every night that she used it. So, if you have
grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will
be absolutely amazed by the effect.
What do you have to lose?
Butter?
How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end, it gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eatingthe same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few onlybecause they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavorsof other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around forless than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine..
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the goodcholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERYINTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life andanything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added,changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area, within couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritionalvalue; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie micro-organismswill not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
