unexplained weird cures

I think some strange cures have to do with belief. Sometimes when you believe in something enough, it might happen. And I don't mean supernatural stuff, I just mean if you maybe have a damaged leg and you do something that is said to heal it, your belief might actually help to heal it.

I have heard of this one, and even tried it a time or two. It is interesting to see that this one does work, and I am surprized it is not more widely told to people as well. As for other ones, I am sure there are some I just have never heard of them yet.

I have heard of this cure before. Beats the heck out of me as to where I heard it though. It was either on here or Gather.

i use white vinegar to gargle with when i have a sore throat few times a day. it works for me. i don't swallow it however.

Hi bunnybon7, Gees, I'll have to ry that cure myself next time I have cramps in bed, the only thing I can think of is when cutting onion and your eyes water, dab cold water on your toes, that really helps for me. Tamara

Hi there bunnybon7 Wow that is weird but I am glad it works for you! The only thing I came across was once when my ex got stung by a bee he immediately went to the kitchen, cut a clove of garlic in half and asked me to rub it on the sting. He said that it didn't hurt after that but boy did he stink! hahaha

Here is a good one, if you have toenail or fingernail fungus, put some Vicks vapor rub on the nail two times a day, soon you will have new nice nail growth. it takes awhile but be patient, it really does work. Its cheap and no side effects.

Hey, that's great, I'm gonna try it. I sometimes get horrid leg cramps that are really bad. and I can do nothing to fix them. They are supposed to go away quickly because they are a muscle spasm but mine keep going. Does it matter what kind of soap? Is one better than another?

I think that's a cool cure although it's a bit weird. I might try it sometime, should I have night cramps ever. But do you have to sleep to do that..? What if you are staying up late at night and you have a cramp..can you just place the bar of soap somewhere where say, you're doing stuffs or something? LOLz.. I know that's a weird question from me, just thinking.

I wonder if it really works. I hate leg cramps at night, they wake me up at times and I have to stand up to get them to go away. I'm very tempted to try the soap!

hi bunnybon7 I have heard of this before but do not know 'why it would work. i do know that for me if I do not 'drink at least 8 to ten glasses of water in one day 'I will sure as shooting have awful painful leg cramps because the electrolyte balance of my blood has been screwed up. also if you eat a lot of salty food you will be a prime candidate for painful leg cramps.So drink more water in either case along with that banana for the potassium that also stops leg cramps.why hurt' when there are cures for the causes?

One time i had this little thing on the outter calf of my leg. I do not know what it was. It bothered me itching all the time for like at least a year. I accidently shaved the top off before but it still was there and itching. Two friends of mine, one from Jamacia and one from Africa told me to put ash on it. So i shaved the top and put herb(maryjane) ash on it. It was scary because i was afraid of infection. I figured if it became infected i would go to the clinic. But guess what? It cleared up! It has never itched again there is only i little scar where it was. I followed the advise of 2 friends that knew about old world cures.

i HAD HEARD THAT BUT DON'T HAVE TOO MANY CRAMPS, thank heavens. I have a friend that sprays wd-40 on her kness for atithritus. She claims it helps. Happy sunday to u,Bon.

Hello my friend My mom always have these outlandish cures that work, but for the life of me I can't think of anything lol always nice to know one or two home remedies, Thank you my friend.

that vicks petroleum jelly works pretty well for nail fungus. i tried it in desperation by a friends suggestion for my mom,and sure enough it worked.it must smother the fungus or something.

Having trouble getting to sleep. I read that putting about four megnesium/calcium tablets on my bedstand and taking them at night when I go to bed really does help me get to sleep. I have told others and it seems to help them as well. Yes, helping one another with cures is a good thing.

Regularly I suffer this pain. I shall try this. Would you please explain more of this pain heal treatment?

Hi Bunny! Cool avatar. If you find a chest with pizza in it, Tukay wants to come visit you...lol. Interesting about the soap working. Since most people buy soap that they like the smell of, I wonder if the aromatherapy is relaxing and helps the cramps?

I had not heard of that before about the soap. But I and my husband used to have bad leg cramps and we just starting take calcium with Vitamin D and drinking more water and we do not get leg cramps anymore.

I did heard that there is folk prescription existed while people meet the strange diseases. But I better suggest that go to the professor, docotor or encyclopedia first prior to apply in case any side effect. Human being has a long history to survive, I am sure you are not the guy who happened to that kind of ailment. I am worried that there is no antidote if any side effects occured.
