:rofl: I don't cook either, but I use the excuse that my husband goes to culinary school and ENJOYS cooking (and is damn good at it). I'd probably unknowingly poison us or something.

Oh jeez, ouch. :blink: I can't understand how frequently shoving something up there could hurt with the already crippling cramps.

This isn't really a "remedy" per se, but my mother in law SWEARS that when you have a cold/flu/really any ailment at all, you should refrain from ingesting:

- cold drinks

- artificially colored foods

- pork

- watermelon

- citris fruits

- dairy

- seafood

This is also the woman who told me that wisdom teeth "don't exist" in Ecuador when I asked where I could go to get mine taken out (assuming it would be cheaper here than in the States), and who gave me ear drops to put in my eyes when I had pink eye... so I typically take her medical advice with a grain of salt.

Well I don't go to culinary school, my wife is ms ny now and doesn't cook. So I'm it. Sometimes my sister inlaw helps.

I can relate to your Ecuador denture tho lol....

Just be aware of the fish vurps. Fish oil got me off the NSAIDS.

Nah, I meant while suffering from menstrual cramps. It differs from woman to woman but sometimes I don't even want to move, much less have intercourse. :blink: Orgasms I could understand, though. They help you get a good night's sleep, too!

I've also been told that if you mix aloe vera with coconut oil, it guarentees you a nice tan. This is helpful for hopeless burn cases like me - super pale, and when I DO get some sun, it just turns red, peels, and goes back to pale.

More uses for coconuts...

My wife rubbed tons of coco butter on her belly when she was pregnant, voila....no stretch marks.....

To bring down high blood pressure - each day take a level teaspoon of Epson salts.

Fish oil daily does help with joint pain. Will see results after a few weeks.

I take one of those mega reds daily. And I've never heard of eating....salt to lower blood pressure. Does that work?

For women, the Chinese have a special ginseng. It's called dang gui, it's inexpensive. Very high in iron. My wife, her sis, her mom all swear by it. And my wife gets very mild menstrual cramps. But may be that's because of the sex......

Apparently you can also use the leaves of this plant to boil water to bathe with for various skin conditions....

I don't know about bleach... :blink: But I do know you can use peroxide in small amounts and it actually works. My aunt's dentist recommended it to her years back, so she started do it, and her teeth are gorgeous.
