my personal cold remedies:
Oil of Oregano
my homemade pate: 1-2 C raw walnuts, soaked overnight and rinsed several times, one head of garlic (approx. 8 cloves), 1 bunch curly parsley.
Puree all in a food processor until they are formed into a smooth pate.
Eat it alone, with salad, with rice, or with pasta or homemade crackers. Eat it with friends, or you'll find yourself alone! (garlic breath, etc.)
Then again, if you're the only one who eats it, you'll have some down time for much needed rest.

A simple test to check if someone has a STROKE
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read: STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke . Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S * Ask the individual to SMILE. T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today) R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

To feed or not to feed a cold or fever?
Dear Cecil:
My son says he has it on good authority that the phrase is "Feed a fever, starve a cold." I thought it was "Feed a cold, starve a fever." Can you tell me who's right, what it means, and who said it? --Bob White, Arroyo Grande, California
Cecil replies:
Your son thinks there's a better authority than dad? For shame. Although I realize the only way to make kids understand sometimes is to reason with them really loud.
Your version of the proverb is the traditional one, but you can find citations in the literature that have it the other way around. The idea, if not the exact wording, dates back to 1574, when a dictionary maker named Withals wrote, "Fasting is a great remedie of feuer."
You're thinking: this guy wrote a dictionarie? His medical advice wasn't so hot either. Doctors have been trying to stamp out the above piece of folklore for years. Current medical thinking is that you want to keep an even strain when you're sick with either a cold or a fever, and you certainly don't want to stress your system by stuffing or starving yourself.
Nobody's sure where the notion of feeding colds and so on arose. (It surely didn't originate with Withals.) One somewhat dubious explanation has it that the proverb really means "If you feed a cold now, you'll have to starve a fever later." A more plausible interpretation is that the feed-a-cold idea arose out of a folk understanding of the disease process, namely that there were two kinds of illnesses, those caused by low temperatures (colds and chills) and those caused by high temperatures (fever). If you had a chill, you wanted to stoke the interior fires, so you pigged. If you had a fever, you didn't want things to overheat, so you slacked off on the fuel.
Bottom line: tell your kid to chill. But I can relate. When I had sniffles as a kid the feed-a-cold thing was usually good for a few extra Twinkies. So you'll just have to forgive me if, in the delirium of a 99-degree temperature, I used to imagine it was feed a fever too.

Srarve a cold Feed a fever?
Probably intended as two separate admonitions, but the rationale behind the alternative interpretation is explained in quot. 2002. Early medical advice is represented by: [1574 J. Withals Dict. 66] Fasting is a great remedie in feuers.
‘Stuff a cold and starve a fever,’ has been grievously misconstrued, so as to bring on the fever it was meant to prevent.[1852 E. Fitzgerald Polonius p. ix.]
It was policy to ‘feed a cold and starve a fever’.[1867 ‘M. Twain’ Celebrated Jumping Frog 69]
I said I better go downstairs and eat a square meal, ‘feed a cold and starve a fever.’‥‘You misunderstand that,’ he says. ‘It means if you feed a cold you'll have to starve a fever later.’[1939 C. Morley Kitty Foyle xxxi.]
‘Forget about feeding a cold and starving a fever,’ Dr. Edelman said, adding there is no medical reason for diet changes.[1997 Washington Times 19 Nov. A8]
The saying should be: ‘If you feed a cold you will have to starve a fever.’ The theory goes that if you carry on eating when you have a cold, your body will have to use up vital energy digesting the food rather than‥fighting the cold. You are therefore more likely to allow the cold to develop and become a fever. Your body will then have no option but to shut down your desire to eat in order to direct all its energy into fighting the fever.[2002 New Scientist 9 Feb. 51]

Srarve a cold of feed a cold?
I asked a few of my friends this question. the results were mixed. Some for some against. Next I Googled this question and here are the results.
s it "feed a fever, starve a cold?" or vice verse. Yael and Don try to clear that up on this Moment of Science.
Y: Don, have you heard the saying, "feed a fever, starve a cold"?
D: Sure. But, it's "starve a fever, feed a cold." Why? Are you sick?
Y: No. Someone wrote in a question, and I can't remember which way it goes. How do you remember it?
D: It's an old saying. It goes back hundreds of years to ancient medicine. The idea is that if you're hot, you need to put less fuel into your body so you'll cool off: starve a fever, and if you're chilled or weak, you need to eat to stoke up your internal fires: feed a cold.
Y: You're kidding. Does it work? It sounds a bit wacky to me.
D: Well, the starving/feeding part isn't really a good idea. When you're sick, your appetite often decreases because food doesn't taste as good and you're tired. Fighting off a cold or flu demands energy. You're best off eating light, healthful food --whole grains, protein, veggies--soup and, of course, drinking lots of water. A healthy diet everyday--rich in vitamin C and antioxidants--has been shown to help boost immunity, too.
Y: My mom used to feed me ice cream when I was sick.
D: Oh well, ice cream's a special case.
Y: Cookies, too?
D: Yeah!

ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics do not kill viruses When your children are sick, antibiotics are not always the answer. Did you know that some of the most common illnesses you children get are caused by viruses? These illnesses include: cold, flu, chest cold, runny nose, and most sore throats
Antibiotics kill bacteria Antibiotics are strong medicine. If taken when not needed, antibiotics can be harmful. They can cause some bacteria to become resistant. This means the antibiotics may no longer by helpful if your children get sick from an illness caused by these bacteria.
I just got this from my e-mail. The subject was on cancer. Their advice was of coarse was for you to see a doctor. That's advice sure sounds great when money is not a problem.Blood testing can give your doctor a better understanding of the correct diagnosis.This was not always the case. Years ago, not long ago we did not have all this technology at our disposal.
Remember my British doctor said that before antibiotics the was quinine and sulfur drugs.
I used ti live in Arrostook County in the State of Maine.I lived on 80 acres of land. On the original estate there was a special spring. It was told to me that there was only seven springs in the world with the healing qualities of this water. It was high on it's sulfur content.
I need your help. I am not a doctor. The medical system is overloaded. If you can add to this blog by adding meaningful content than please do so by writ ting me at pbunyan7777@aol.com thank you Paul M.D.

Limes in water
About five years ago I took care of a British doctor. We became great friends. Over the few months I had to spend with my friend he would teach me many things. He told me just how he kept his people free of disease during the war years. Before penicillin the was only sulfur and quinine.He told me that most disease in war time spread through the bites of insects.
Slice up your limes real thin. let them sit in the water for five to ten days. take an ounce of this water per day.
If you would like to share a war story and tell us about how you were treated on the battle field Ware you did not have access to medical attention please submit your message to me Paul M.D. at pbunyan7777@aol.com thank you P.M.D.

My goals for this blog
I have a dream. I want to bring about awareness of how to promote good health when one can not see a doctor.If you need medical attention by all means please go. My advice is not to exclude doctors advice. I do believe it is up to you and me to keep ourselves healthy and we have an obligation to ourselves to find ways to improve our health when possible. I for one can not afford medical attention. Although I do have insurance the deductible for the year is so high that as for me it simple seems impracticable;however,it is better than nothing.Along with my own submissions I will be asking you the public to submit your suggestions. It you have the ability to wrote in more than one language please use English and whatever language you speak and write in as it is a goal of mine to publish all the information listed in this blog in all languages.

Kelp for atomic health.
I have had the great privilege to know the great Dr. Leonie ------------. I took care of him while he was in hospice care. I am not able to give out his real name. My friend was a Doctor during WNWII. He was in the Navy. His ship was sent into one of the first atomic bombs. 187 sailors went through that ball of fire, I met three who survived.

Advice from Monica
Monica told me to dice up garlic into small bite and let it soak in olive oil.I did this and I added garlic salt to give it some flavor.I know garlic is a cheap way to get better health. A clove of garlic cost me $o.24 and will last for some time. Improve my lungs and heart at the same time. Thanks Monica Paul M.D. Who is not a doctor.
Honey and Lemon Juice.
I flew to New Hampshire to say my goodbyes to my dying mother.The trip home left me very sick from being confined in a small space with little to no fresh air.After two mounts of over the counter medicines that were ineffective I decided to fight back.
I simply got a small bottle of lemon juice and mixed it half and half with honey.A good friend whose husband and own mother was a doctor told me I could also crush an aspirin to reduce pain and fever. I am slowly getting better.
I believe in God and his promise and the power of prayer.I believe this plan could have been the Garden of Edin.Together lets heal the planet Paul M.D. Who is not a doctor.
