GRANDMA'S CURES
Did
You Know that drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache
pain almost immediately--
without the unpleasant side effects caused by
traditional "painrelievers."
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 overit. 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.
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.
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 any more! 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.
