Another great article. And by a Canadian doctor who further explains the shelf life of medications and how to make them last longer. He is even broad minded enough to consider natural path medications as replacement alternatives which I concur are a viable and healthier option. (with my vast knowledge...or lack of):lol:

Great read Cernnunos5, thank you.

I have seen one dry tablet pill that does actually expire . Acetaminophen with " CODEINE ".
It is the Codeine that causes the problem . It starts to deteriorate and you will be able to see
tiny brown specs appear in the tablet, of which the specs get bigger over the years . I have taken
more than once, expired tablets with tiny specs and it gave me severe stomach cramps and i had nausea ,
which I don't get with clean white tablets . I no longer will take expired Tylenol w/ Codeine after
realizing it doesn't happen with non expired tablets.

It is always good to know things like this. We can add this sort of knowledge which is backed by real experience to put a proper balance on such a controversial subject. Readers now know that there are exceptions to this rule as well. thanks Goldie!

In his article he says that colloidal silver probably doesn't work.

I can say I use it on my dog and myself . I have been buying a product for dogs that is in a spray and also
in a gel form. I have both. I use the dog preparation on myself , I could not find a product for humans. LOL
I fell last summer and landed on my face and split my upper gum open and my upper lip.
I sprayed the colloidal silver onto the area and I had amazing results ! I am almost out of the spray
and will be ordering another spray , but will try a different brand to compare.

I find colloidal silver works well.

Another herbal self remedy is PEPPERMINT TEA for stomach aches , it works well.
( not spearmint it has to be peppermint which is harder to find )

Please take notice of the expiry date on toothpaste. I never noticed before until this year ! 🙄

I think some of them might loose effectiveness over time if they are a product something like Sensodyne.

Good point. My other 1/2 (the complaining side 😆 ) uses collidal silver all the time and swears by it too. Most times we weigh one's shared knowledge by measuring it against that which we know something about....(a new quote by Knuckle) 😎

I never thought of looking for an expiry date on toothpaste either likely because I consider it is something I spit out anyways 🙄 . And I have an agreement with my dog that I don't brush his teeth and he doesn't brush mine!

Very interesting read thanks for sharing :).
