Mothers ways to fix things REMEDYS

[Firedog]

Did You Know That?  Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache
pain almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by
traditional "pain relievers."

Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with
mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids
peppermints.  They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

Achy muscles from a bout of the flu?  Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1
cup of olive oil..  Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a
massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.

Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1
tablespoon six times a day.  The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer .  Just dissolve two tablets
in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.
Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly --
even though the product was never been advertised for this use.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and
place a Band-Aid over it.  Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile,
and speeds healing.  Works overnight.

Listerine therapy for toenail fungus ... Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus
by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash.  The powerful antiseptic leaves
your toenails looking healthy again.

Easy eyeglass protection ... To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from
loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the
threads of the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola cure for rust ... Forget those expensive rust removers.  Just
saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain.  The
phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps,
hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the
insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409 .  Insects drop to the ground
instantly.

Smart splinter remover ...just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the
splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin.  The splinter
sticks to the dried glue.

Hunt's tomato paste boil cure ...cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as
a compress.  The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil
to a head.

Balm for broken blisters ...To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few
drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.

Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and
apply it to the bruise for 1 hour.  The vinegar reduces the blueness and
speeds up the healing process.

Kills fleas instantly .   Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick.  Add a
few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly.  Rinse well
to avoid skin irritations.  Goodbye fleas.

Rainy day cure for dog odor ... Next time your dog comes in from the rain,
simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making
your dog smell springtime fresh.

Eliminate ear mites ... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in
your cat's ear.  Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball.  Repeat daily
for 3 days.  The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and
accelerates healing.

Quaker Oats for fast pain relief ....It's not for breakfast anymore!  Mix 2
cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave
for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for
soothing relief from arthritis pain.

Wow, those are great. Thanks for the info!!!! This will be one for the bulletin board. Thank goodness for computers, now I can just copy and paste to Word and hit print. Otherwise with my 2 fingered typing ability it would take me an hour to copy it.

i moved the thread here! & stickied it....

[XJ DAVE]

heres a couple from the male side of things...

lacquer thinner gets rid of poison ivy, it dries out the skin, but you wont have the itch or the sores...

superglue (the non toxic variety) will seal up minor cuts where a bandaide cant go...

carb cleaner, starter fluid, brake-cleaner etc kill bugs instantly...

I've found that a cure for sore butt cheeks is to take out the trash when my wife tells me too.

Oh ya, the "Man Side" home remidies I like.  I swear by the "brake cleaner" insect killer.  I've also found Brake Klean can cure bordum just by adding a small flame to the front of the spray nozzle when spraying at insects.  This technique does not work so well with the chlorinated non-flammable brake cleaners.  In fact the odor coming from this concaction is enough to make the person spraying want to die!

Hair spray is entertaining like that too

I have tried a few of them and you would be amazed at how they really work. Thanks for posting it.

[mudhoney]

Those are great. Thanks for the info. I have another one. Used dryer sheets is great to use to wipe the dust off your T.V. and it last for a long time before you have to wipe it again. Try it and you will be amazed.

[Mrs. OC]
