Hydrogen Peroxide

The Health Benefits of Hydogen Peroxide
By Becky Ransey of Indiana
"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.)
No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle).
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had a fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
8. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixturewhenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
12. Put half of a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
14. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.I could go on and on.
It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner. Send on to others who might need to know the benefits of 3% peroxide

I am a big reader, and LOVE learning new things...

To all who love the language

This year's 10 winners of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, aka "Dark and Stormy Night Contest" (run by the English Dept. of San Jose State University) wherein one writes only the first line of a bad novel:
10) "As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break wind in the echo chamber, he would never hear the end of it.
"9) "Just beyond the Narrows, the river widens.
"8) "With a curvaceous figure that Venus would have envied, a tanned, unblemished oval face framed with lustrous thick brown hair, deep azure-blue eyes fringed with long black lashes, perfect teeth that vied for competition, and a small straight nose, Marilee had a beauty that defied description.
"7)"Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he crept along the East wall: 'Andre creep... Andre creep... Andre creep.'
"6) "Stanislaus Smedley, a man always on the cutting edge of narcissism, was about to give his body and soul to a back alley sex-change surgeon to become the woman he loved."
5)"Although Sarah had an abnormal fear of mice, it did not keep her from seeking out a living at a local pet store."
4) "Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached, but then penguins often do."
3) "Like an over-ripe beefsteak tomato rimmed with cottage cheese, the corpulent remains of Santa Claus lay dead on the hotel floor.
"2) "Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn't know the meaning of the word 'fear'; a man who could laugh in the face of danger and spit in the eye of death -- in short, a moron with suicidal tendencies."AND THE WINNER IS
...1) "The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving the magnitude of the frog's deception, screaming madly, 'You lied!"

Motorcycle truths and tragedies

I have a story to share...not a story as in " Once upon a time".....
My cousins' son died Tuesday. Motorcycle. Semi-truck. Deer. Wisconsin. Those are all the details we know at the present time. ( although I am sure more details have been discovered, or figured out, and just not passed on to me yet). He was the motorcycle rider. Tuesday night was a beautiful 99% full moon, and as I came out of class that night, I remember saying a little phrase I would say to my children when they were smaller. " I see the Moon, and the Moon sees me, God Bless the Moon and God Bless Me". I wish I had known to include Wes in my simple little prayer that night. Maybe He did know, and a worse fate lie down the road for my second cousin, and that is why he is now at rest with my Lord. Another dimension that adds pain to the situation is the age of Wes. He was 23....same age as my brother, John, who was also killed on a motorcycle, doing a friend a favor. ( His friend had wrecked his bike, and was only worried about his helmet, so my brother went back on his motorcycle to retrieve it....foggy night, cement curb, end of story. Knowing my brother, he would do it again, to help a friend and fellow biker.)

As the motorcycle season is wrapping up for those of you in the Western Pa/ Eastern Ohio- it's down to being able to ride comfortably ( weather wise) into weeks, not months.....just take that extra second to take a second glance, take an extra second to get to your destination, take an extra second to let someone know who they are in your life, in case you don't get the second chance to do it later. Thanks.

Things that make you go "hmmmph"

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.


How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

camping

Hello!

back from camping- great campsite about an hour north of PIT. Swimming for the kids, activities for them, and enough ice to keep my beverages cold. Went with friends who leave near by, and my in laws.

Lot's of fun- smoky campfire nights, and lots of laughs and good food during the day.

Since I am now in my 40's- those of you in the same age range, can understand what i am about to convey. Body parts start hurting ( BAD) for no reason. When I was in my twenties and thirties, I could do all sorts of activities ( some involving alcohol and stupidity) and not hurt myself, or feel any pain the next day.

NOT ANYMORE! Just getting out of the car, I pulled my groin muscle, so you can appreciate the agony I was in ( and still am- another bane of the 40's- pain lingers) when I would get into the swimming pool, walk up a step , etc.

Oh well, we are home again, home again. Husband went to get my dog. He has to stay with friends, otherwise , I have to stay at the campsite the entire time so he won't cry and ruin the surrounding peace. Lots of people did have dogs, and they are either lucky enough to have dogs that don't care when you leave them, or the people never left them!

That's all for now, have to finish laundry before my whole house smells like a camp fire.
