Ah ya beat me to it 😀
I was just compiling a list a night or so back on just this topic...will post it shortly but first I've got to get DD to work and do a vegetable delivery!

I was curious about what I would do in a situation where my son was having an asthma attack and we were out of his puffer supply, or not having the ability to get any medical equipment at all.... I found out some interesting things...

Coffee, Onions, Chill Peppers, Peppermint, and Vitamin B12 usually found in yogurt, salmon, orange juice or vitamin c all stimulate and open the airways to help you breath during an asthma attack... this I was happy to read..

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with home remedies for other ailments and we could fill this topic with home remedy advice for different ailments that might effect us in a situation where there is no modern medicine to turn to.

I have a sister with very bad asthma...quite a scary thing to have...A few drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in your drinking water is very beneficial...
Hydrogen Peroxide is something everyone should consume daily...

"Scientific studies prove that in the presence of sufficient amounts of oxygen in the blood and cells, all disease-causing microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, toxins and pathogens are eradicated. However, in order for oxygen to eradicate disease, it must be delivered not just to the lungs and not just to the bloodstream, but to the cells and tissues of the body. The problem is that most humans are NOT able to get proper amounts of oxygen in their cells and tissues. This is due partly to:
* poor air quality * poor breathing habits * cooking and over-processing of our foods * unrestrained antibiotic use * oxygen-depleting activities
Deep breathing won't get the proper amount of oxygen to the cells and tissues either because only 15% of the Oxygen You Inhale is absorbed into the bloodstream....
Oxygenation Therapy, (HP) brings the cells and tissues of the body to an oxygen-rich state. It does this by directly introducing pure oxygen molecules into your body for your cells. This oxygen-rich environment in the body kills diseased cells (most bacteria, fungus and viruses are highly intolerant of oxygen). At the same time, this oxygen-rich environment in the body simultaneously rejuvenates and revitalizes healthy cells. The healthy cells are able to survive and multiply more rapidly.This creates a stronger immune system. A stronger immune system allows Nature's Most Powerful Healer (the body) to function properly and ward off disease. This creates an environment within the body where disease cannot thrive."

Cinnamon and Honey both have excellent medicinal qualities, but put together they are a powerhouse...
Lemons have amazing cancer fighting properties, and there are some good ways of preserving them...Oil of Oregano...Tea Tree Oil...

Garlic

In Romania is not only used for cooking and as a vampire deterrent 😉 but also as a medicine. It should be used raw.

Salt Water for cold and flue

This one is my favorite and it works great for me. Last year a few of my coworkers were sick for several days with the worst flue they ever had and when it got to me I hit it from the the very beginning, when I felt that my throat started to become soar, with saltwater gargling and nasal spray. It never went beyond that.

Aloe Vera spray and marigold ointment are very good for skin problems like burns and infections

Chamomile and mint, mainly as tea but not only, lots of benefits both internal and external use. We use them all the time.

I read somewhere that God gave us the illnesses but he also gave us the cures for each of them and also I like this Hippocrates quote: Let Food Be Thy Medicine And Let Medicine Be Thy Food

All the best

Okay, back again 😀

I have used all these remedies with great success.

Heart Attack - Cayenne Pepper acts as a stimulate, just pop a bit under the tongue.
Thrombosis Blood Clots - Lemon is a natural blood thinner, cut up a whole lemon and place in a jug, fill jug with water and let sit in a cool place over night, drink the following day. Keep doing this every day.
Poor Circulation (this caused me to develop more blood clots) - Crush a clove of garlic, mix with a few tablespoons of water, rub thoroughly on both calves before bed, place peg on nose, get called Zorba the Greek, make husband long for lasanga, wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed the next morning - this works REALLY well to pick up your circulation. If prone to contact dermatitis where rubber gloves or similar.

Kidney/Urinary Tract infections
Hot parsley tea with a little honey.
Parsley Water - Place a handful of parsley in a jug, cover with water, let sit in cool place overnight, drink all next day.
Warm onion poultice over kidneys.
Drink HEAPS of water.

Conjunctivitis
Two tiny little raw grated potato poultices over both eyes before bed.
This is very cooling, soothing and only generally needs to be repeated for two or three nights. Seen it work really well on babies too.

Fever - Eat or juice fresh blueberries.
I've seen this work dozens of times on us, our kids, other peoples kids etc...they called me the queen of blueberries 🙂
It will drop a temp of 41 deg c down to 36 deg c in less than 30 minutes.

Fungal Infections - Put Bicarb Soda in bath water and soak away 😀
Also avoid grain, dairy and sugar. Even REALLY bad fungal infections will be gone in three to four weeks.

Bites and stings - Make a paste of charcoal and smear over the bite or sting.

Re the Asthma - Arnica tablets work well to open up the airways too.

Oooo and not forgetting 'STRESS' - a mix of fresh lemon balm and borage leaves made into a tea with a little honey will get you giggling again in no time at all, they are the 'Happy Herbs'

😀

...That's not what I thought the 'Happy Herbs' were....:oops:

I haven't had time to read it yet, but recently bought "Edible and Medicinal plants of the Rockies" by Linda J Kershaw What I have read so far looks good and relies on things we may have available.

I'm sorry but for me this doesnt make any sense, more then half of what is stated isnt true. what article did you find this in? I wouldn't advise drinking this.

Well, maybe you need to read up a little more on the matter...I suggest 'The One Minute Cure' by Madison Cavanaugh.
Could you please point out what specifically you find to be untrue? I will be more than glad to dig up the research to back up anything i have written here.

When you ingest hydrogen peroxide it is absorbed in to your blood stream where enzymes known as peroxidases catalytically decompose the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This has the same effect as aerobic exercise such as jogging. A few medical professionals promote the internal use of hydrogen peroxide and is called Oxygen Therapy. there are downsides concerning strength, amount and frequency of use. A to high concentration can cause vomiting and severe burns of the throat and stomach. Too much hydrogen peroxide in the blood can create oxygen bubbles that can block blood flow. This can lead to gangrene and death! I would recommend that it should be taken only under medical supervision. Jogging is safer and produces the same results.

Hydrogen Peroxide has many claimed uses, medicinal and otherwise around the house. This site is a good source of information looking at both the claims and the facts.

Glad to see all the input!!! Very educational! Thanks everyone.

Well, I have thought long and hard all night about what i am going to say here...

For good measure, I even reviewed the book i recommended, and am including some quotes.
It's been so long since i stocked up on my Hydrogen Peroxide that I completely forgot what the guy who sold it to me told me. He was VERY VERY clear to inform me that 35% food grade HP has definitely NOT been approved by the FDA for human consumption...In fact, it is LETHAL at anything higher than a few drops per cup. It's main intent is to be used in agriculture, to prevent things like mastitis in cows...He was also extremely cautious to warn me that should i choose to ingest this dangerous or even fatal substance myself, to be absolutely certain that i diluted it to a miniscule amount. (maintenance dose: 3 drops per 8 oz. of water, for a total of 0.078% ingestion).
"...Oxygen Therapy takes into consideration the human body's chemical constituents and their interaction with each other within the biochemical parameters of the body. As long as (HP) is diluted in distilled water in the recommended concentration, and taken on an empty stomach, it's disease-fighting constituents are maximized and adverse effects become virtually non-existent." ~ p.36
"...(HP) therapy works in the same manner as ozone therapy: It gives the body a high concentration of oxygen so that diseased cells die and normal cells are revitalized. Since Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is simply water with one extra oxygen atom, when HP is absorbed by the body, it does the same thing ozone does with it's extra oxygen atom- it releases that extra atom into the blood, thereby creating a flood of oxygen. In addition, HP increases oxygen and hemoglobin disassociation, thus maximizing the delivery of oxygen from the blood to the cells. This delivery of the oxygen to the cells and tissues is essential for creating the oxygen boost necessary to maintaining a healthy environment that is inhospitable to disease." p.~ 55

"...when diluted in a sufficient amount of (distilled) water, Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) oxygenates the body in a way that makes the body heal itself and make itself immune to disease....the main reason the 'medical community' refuses to recognize it's incredible ability to cure virtually all diseases is the economic impact it will have. The ability of the general population to treat and cure a plethora of diseases and ailments on their own will make the jobs of the medical doctors and researchers unnecessary. Pharmaceutical companies will become superfluous. In short, there is no money to be made from the widespread use of (HP)....We, as a society, are dependent on doctors and pharmaceutical drugs to control diseases and ailments, and the people who make money from conventional medical treatments want to keep it that way. New treatments are generally laughed at when first discovered because they seem too preposterous to be true." ~ pg. 99 ...hardly news...

In light of the fact that i am painfully aware that things i have posted, not only now, but in the past, have been ridiculed and vehemently opposed, I am leaving myself no option but to refrain from participating in this forum. No doubt what i say here will also be taken out of context, but I really don't care what people think about me: never have, never will. I get the impression that most people here seem about as open to new concepts as the sheeple are to prepping. I would NEVER recommend something that i have not tried myself, and had success with. I truly don't know why i even bother...for the most 'supposedly' enlightened sector of society, i am finding that the pervasive herd mentality dominating this forum seems to be one of suspicion and skepticism...The fantasy of forming a 'group' here is absolutely preposterous: the dominating 'ME AND MY OWN' mentally makes most here no better than anyone out 'there': many of you talk of even turning your own family members away should the SHTF, because they not only refused to listen to you, (and do YOU always listen to advice you're given?!) but because they were simply not evolved to the point where they could understand or grasp the severity of our situation...hmm...and some seem to love to argue, for argument's sake....something i hold in great disdain.

Clearly it was VERY IRRESPONSIBLE of me to make a suggestion to use HP...Please DISREGARD my suggestions, and continue to place your faith, hope and health, (and that of your loved ones) into the more-than-capable hands of our beloved and revered Government, Medical System, and Pharmaceutical Cartel with their profit-driven agenda...and be confident in the fact that they have your best interests at heart.

By the way, IC, have you ever looked into who funds 'snopes'? ...no, i guess you can't, because they will not disclose that information...

i am done now.

DeL'eau,

I think you are taking offense where none is intended. That being said, this is a forum which invites people to post ideas with the expectation that they will be discussed. If you are not prepared to have your ideas challenged... please don't let the door hit you on the bum on your way out.

Best regards,

Hydrogen Peroxide, in its pure form was used as a binary rocket fuel. Meaning that when it was mixed with the other component it would ignite without a spark. It is a very active Oxidizer, to the point that many German Pilots that flew the early rocket plane were killed when this stuff got on them, and dissolved what ever it came into contact with. Also the Feds, watch for anyone who buys any great quantities of this substance, because it is a primary ingredient in making some explosives. 😈

Remember mustard plasters mum gave us as a kid for colds?

Works like a hot dam....

I torcher my kids with them still today.
