    Curing A Cough...Really

    A friend of mine sent me this in email, says it works.
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    VICKS VAPO RUB - INTERESTING

    During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can

    absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes

    you can 'taste' it.

    Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for everything from chapped

    lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of

    this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists

    who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child

    (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapo rub generously on the

    soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time

    and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.

    In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

    Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why

    cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals

    in them. This method of using Vicks vapo rub on the soles of the feet was

    found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then

    went on to sleep soundly.

    My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent

    cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm

    blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me,

    this was a deep, and incredibly annoying! every few seconds uncontrollable

    cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

    If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself

    and you will be absolutely amazed at how it works.



    DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.

    THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..

    Actually, within 20 minutes you'll be shopping (alone) for some new shoes...

          I've been there and back. Actually, your cerebral tinkering makes more sense. In that light, a pair of slipons might be in order.

              I believe in this, but it does not work 100% of the time. I've had it work for the kids a few times, but not for my wife recently.

                When I was a kid I used to get Vick's on my chest, then I would "eat" a tiny bit. Then the vaporizer would go on. I would fall asleep on the couch watching daytime TV, then wake up feeling much better to a bowl of chicken soup.

                Now when my 16-y.o. son complained the other day, my approach was a little different--"Take a Claritin D and suck it up. There's no way I'm calling you in sick to school. If I've gotta go in, you're going in."

                          The reason this stops your cough, is you get out of bed, and with the slippery stuff on your feet, you fall and knock yourself unconscious.
