I've been finding the old fashioned vicks inhaler which is really only menthol fumes to have really been helping me during this allergy season. Amazing how something so simple can work as well as a bunch of pills. Funny how we forget all about treatments like this when in the store in the...

I've bought so many over the years, I can't remember them all. I like the ones that really can't hurt you to take like ones loaded with antitoxins (like green tea, fruit extracts, herbs) Never really found a replacement for the old ephedrine products, at least in the actual weight loss area.

Where I live in Upper Mi, for larger dogs, the price of a professional groomer can be $80-100 so I'd check before making an appointment. If you live near a city with a PetSmart of similar store, you can probably get a good deal on grooming. I happen to have a Great Pyrenees and someone told...

Training, training, patience and more training works best for me. Because your dog's behavior could get your dog injured or killed, I would not take a back seat waiting for the phase to pass. I'd get a Dog Whisper video or take your dog to a class, often it's not the dog, it's us who benefits...

I'm Going to Try Catnip I am going to try Catnip. Unfortunately, where I live in Upper MI, mosquitoes think citronella products are a joke, and you'll find all the left-over products in W-mart and other stores all over town late summer. I tried Avon Skin So Soft once, as some glorified it's...

This sounds pretty gross but it's true. About 10-12 years ago, I had a tapeworm (and I hate bugs of all kinds) - once we killed it, immediately, I lost all cravings for Mountain Dew which I had been addicted to for probably at least 7-10 years. And I mean by the next day, I didn't even have one...

I think its cool that you found something that works. My motto is whatever works, keep doing it. I know that most of us have a hard time drinking the amount of water that we should. I'll bet most people don't drink 2 cups of water a day, let alone 7 or 8. We all know that we should, but...

Both my cat and dog were rescue animals and I keep them vacinated. I'd hate to see my dog get heartworm or something preventable. And my cat is a neighborhood wanderer so I don't want her getting rabies or something. Plus I have to protect them against fleas and ticks. That bugs me even more...

Mango must be pretty popular because it gets two rows at Walmart. I tried it and feel better overall, not sure if I really lost any weight. I think that any herb or fruit with high antitoxins properties, like those listed, really can't be harmful and just may do us all a bit of good. Just don't...

I am interested in doing a liver flush and have read a lot of good things from those who have done one. But I'm also a bit scared, I've seen pictures of some pretty big stones come out of people. Has anyone done one and what was it like? Did you have more energy and feel better afterward? Oh...

I hate to be the fuddy dud but I agree that exercise is the real way to help lessen or eliminate cellulite without surgery. I've also had luck with tanning beds but then of course, with my fair skin isn't the best solution. One other old beauty secret that I've had some luck with is an old...

St Johns Wort is probably the best known but has various effects on people. You need to take for a while before seeing any results along with you'll most likely have to play with the dosage. Make sure that its from a reliable lab for best results. Otherwise, don't discount simple measures like...

Unfortunately, I haven't found a natural way to control fleas/ ticks without the help of something like Frontline. I've tried various natural cures over the years, but they only seem to kill the ones on them, not the eggs. Let us know if you find something.

My vote goes to the baking soda/ peroxide formula which eliminates the odor quickly. But there is the issue of dry skin which follows. But I'll take dry skin over living with a stinky dog any day. For that I just spray a skin conditioner and off he goes to kill another one.

Case for Vanity This is a case where vanity trumps common sense. Yes we know that high heels are not good for us, yet most of us have tossed on a pair of high heels for a night out on the town. It makes us feel sexy for the night even if we have to pay a price. I'm still trying to figure out...

Hi everyone, Glad to finally see herbs and natural medicines finally be taken seriously from more of the mainstream of society. It wasn't too long ago, I was a real 'crazy' broad who actually believed in that 'new age' thinking. :eek: Now I can voice my opinions without looking so crazy...

Hmmm, the onion sounds interesting but smelly. I have tried the detox pads, which you can get at most drug stores in the US. They seemed to make me feel better but the nay slayers indeed pummeled the news with word of a scam. But then again, any time something is labeled 'new age', 'home...

Mans Best Friend I think anyone who has ever owned and loved a pet will attest to the validity of pets bringing us joy and can make us healthier. My father has dementia/alzheimer's and my new dog took an instant liking to my dad assigning himself the task of making sure my dad's needs are met...

I agree that a lot of women settle for less than they deserve. One just has to look at numbers of family/domestic violence in the USA and Canada to see that it isn't just some passing fad but a real problem. I've heard about every excuse out there for why women stay, but it usually boils down...

Telling your friend or being told 'not to fear' is easier said than done. I know that from first hand experience. But that is what needs to be done, fear will cripple the faint of heart. Even if she has cancer, it certainly isn't something that necessarily has to ruin her life to the point of...
