[AlternativeAnswers] No Shampoo Method for All Natural Hair Care

 

Why buy expensive organic shampoo and conditioner when you can use two cheap ingredients you probably already have at home?

Baking soda and vinegar work well to get your hair clean, shiny, soft and healthy.

And I mean truly healthy - unlike other hair products that contain chemicals (like mineral oil) to cover hair strands, merely giving the illusion of healthy hair.

For those who have soft water, ditching the chemical brews you call shampoo and conditioner is a breeze.

Adding about 1 tablespoon to 8 ounces of water and mixing it up is all you need for "shampoo." Adding about an ounce of vinegar to 8-16 ounces of water makes a great conditioner and hair detangler.

Hard water poses more of a challenge. But by boiling the water first (generally a rolling boil for about 10 minutes) a lot of minerals can be removed. Then you can dissolve the baking soda effortlessly and use that to shampoo your hair. You don't need to boil water for the vinegar rinse.

[AlternativeAnswers] Coughing and wheezing

 

I hope some of you wonderful people can give me some suggestions. I started coughing four days ago and still coughing. When i lay down at night, or try, I hear a slight wheezing that keeps me awake between the coughing.

I almost feel like it could be bronchitis as I had something like that last spring. Went to the doctor then got a breathing treatment, first ever, and a prescription for either a steroid or prednisone not sure which. After I took that most of my tasting ability disappeared so all my favorite foods smell wonderful but have very little if any taste. The only taste seems to be bitter. Even the strong taste of salt and vinegar Chips that used to make my lips pucker doesnt do anything now. Well anyway I dont want to go that route again. So if anyone had suggestions to help with the lung stuff or taste bud stuff i would greatly appreciate it.

With much thanks
Sonja

Pain

This week's editorial is about pain, particularly muscle pain. I learned
long ago that one simple remedy for most pain is DMSO. Get some and keep it
in your medicine cabinet. It works faster and better than any other pain
reliever for most topical aches and pains.

What is DMSO? It's Dimethyl sulfoxide. It was discovered many years ago, and
has been overlooked by MD's because of Big Pharma lies, and distortions.
(Not to mention the FDA control by Big Pharma.)

It not only relieves muscle and nerve pain from the skin inwards, but it
also can be used to "carry" various supplements etc into the body. It has
the unusual ability to penetrate the skin quickly and if mixed with
something, it takes that into the body with it.

If you are applying it to a "tender skin", or "sensitive skin" area, you may
mix it with aloe to stop any irritation or burning it may cause.

It works for most pain much better than any pain relievers, prescription or
counter. Just wet a finger, and rub it on over any pain area, and it
relieves the pain within a few seconds, and it lasts for a long time. I had
a back pain from stooping and lifting wrong just the other day . It was on
the right side of my back. So, DMSO was applied liberally there by fingers
(less than a ¼ teaspoon full), and the pain went. The next morning, it was
still gone completely.

On a friend with constant facial pain from past surgery, DMSO took away the
constant pain she had had for a long time. It works wonders for many.

Here's some Wikipedia info:

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is theformula (CH3)2SO. This colorless liquid is
an important polaraprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and non polar
compounds and ismiscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as
water. It penetrates the skin very readily, giving it the unusual property
of being secreted onto the surface of the tongue after contact with the skin
and causing a garlic-like taste in the mouth.

In a 1978 study at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio,
researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority
of the 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders that were
studied.[11] They recommended DMSO for all inflammatory conditions not
caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients
failed to respond to conventional therapy.

DMSO has been examined for the treatment of numerous conditions and
ailments, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only approved
its use for the symptomatic relief of patients with interstitial cystitis.
(Wonder why that is - Big Pharma at work suppressing anything not profitable
or patentable again)

Animal studies have indicated that treatment with DMSO within one hour of
spinal cord injury can prevent total paralysis. (BTW. Vets are much more
knowledgeable about DMSO than MD's, again Big Pharma at work suppressing
anything but patented drugs that make money.)

ALOE VERA

Now, let's talk about aloe vera (mentioned above).

Did you know that aloe was the third gift of the Magi, but since England has
no aloe, the translators from the Greek Bible to the St John's version did
not know the word, they probably took it to be an "alloy", or something, and
they wrote it as "gold". So, the three original gifts to Jesus were:
frankincense, myrrh, and aloe. All medicinal herbs - now that makes sense.

Aloe is one of the world's best burn medicines. Better than any drugs, and
there are stories galore about it's burn pain relief, and better healing
than any expensive drugs. .

So, get a bottle and keep in in your medicine cabinet. Even better, get an
aloe plant, and cut off a leaf as needed, split it, and rug the gel inside
the leaf onto any wound or burn. Small burn from cooking, quickly get the
aloe down and spread it onto the burn area. Add some DMSO, and the pain will
quickly be gone. The quicker you get the aloe to the burn site, the quicker
the area will heal, and the less scarring will occur. For burns, aloe first,
then DMSO for the pain (if needed after the aloe.

My grandmother took aloe for stomach ulcers by swallowing it. I was too
young to know much about it at the time, but I believe it helped her.

That's the editorial for today. I hope it helps you and yours.
