[nightengalegoddess]

colloidal silver for bacterial infection

blue flag poultice packing (wild iris) for staph infection

golden seal root powder mixed with psyillium husks as packing for staph

chapparo amargosa for food poisoning or any g.i. problem

probiotics (yay, even physicians know this one now)

osha root for rebuilding lungs after bronchitis............on and on and on

oh my gosh.....it would be so neat if all natural remedies could be proven and we could use them all......in time......

But I can tell you that all these remedies have worked. I did fist aid at summer- long- crazy hippy- gatherings which were miles from any hospital (before I was an RN).

[nightengalegoddess]

oh yes! Osha root is specific for elevation sickness...and wonder of wonders....it grows plentifly over 10,000 feet! I love nature!

Digoxin comes from foxglove flowers....

White willow bark is an antiinflamatory.

Ginger- nausea

Tea bags soaked in hot water (not enough to burn), squeezed out, and placed on bug bites helps with the itch and swelling.

I think it's metformin that was derived from kimodo dragon spit.....

I'm currently backed up all the way to my small intestines (or it feels like it), and my husband swears by an organic apple juice fast. He bought me a gallon yesterday, and he warned me to do it on a day when I don't have to go anywhere because I'll be trotting to the bathroom quite often.

TMI, I know, but y'all are nurses and can surely handle it. I'll let you know how it goes (literally).

I will have to try this one is it the juice or cider? Did it work

I wonder if the gentian violet would do anything for a lady partsl yeast infection.
