Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well well well! Let me take you back to the 1940's and 50's when I was a little girl and my Mennonite raised father (German father - English mother) had some pretty different ideas about getting sick. I can never remember having a cold or the flu for more than 4 hours tops. You see Dad thoroughly believe that when we got sick, it was because our systems (bodies) had too much bad stuff in them, and had to be cleaned out. If I started with the "heaves" I immediately got a dose of Milk of Magnesia. It only took about three doses - the first two would come up - the third would stay down - and I was eating at the next meal - maybe a little shaky on the feet - but getting better. Others in and around the "church family" would be sick and stay sick for a week - but we were not allowed to stay sick. In the 1950's an old lady came by our house when Dad was starting with a cold - and put some herbs in a pan to heat - all of our heads immediately cleared up - dad was told to drink the water only - but he was afraid to because he didn't know what she had tossed into that pan. However, the next day we were all well!!! and stayed well the rest of the winter -- Just from breathing the fumes??? When I got married in the early 60's my husband had a doctor in the family who would eat a slice of onion every day at every meal. Said it kept him well!! My mother told me the story about her brother's bronchitis - and how grandmother would take an onion and slice and cook it - and her brother would eat it -- and his bronchitis would be gone - sometimes he would grab a slice or two of raw onion because it was taking too long for the water to get hot. But he was immediately better. Well, we are staying well - not getting out in crowds, eating onions and garlic every day. Life was interesting - and is interesting now! I do not believe in medicine because -- I was on Premarin for 25 years -- it was suppose to protect my bones (didn't do anything for them), protect my heart (I question what it did), and then we are told it doesn't do what they said it would do. Sorry! I only believe a lie from someone who lies the first time - then I am a skeptic forever thereafter. If they could lie to me about Premarin, they will lie like dogs about everything else -- they are liars! and the people in authority are aiding and abetting the liars. In my book it is called " attempted murder", and if our legal system wasn't bought and paid for by the liars, we would all have the knowledge we need to keep ourselves well. However, when the food supply, water supply and air supply are tainted with God knows what - we are at the mercy of it all. All of us are not lucky enough to be able to grow our own food. However, if the air and water are tainted with bad stuff - it doesn't do much good - because you are slowly poisoning yourself also. After all a plant can only put good stuff in when it has good stuff to put in and if they air is poison then the plant cannot take up the good stuff it should have. Our soil was being depleted back in the 60's and 70's according to the guru's back then - so? Enough of what I think All praise to God for keeping us and teaching us what we need to know to stay as healing as we can stay. I guess I could say that we don't have the old fashioned sense to realize that we are only healed by a loving God anyway. All of the old doctors I had, always said that they didn't heal anything -- that the man upstairs did the healing - they were only accessories to the fact. thea ___________Great pay, great benefits, rewarding.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I remember seeing a movie about a family that harvested wild herbs. I think it was Where the Lillies Bloom. In one part of the story a man with pneumonnia was saved by covering him with a mixture of hot fried onions and I think, mustard. It was used as a poultice. Whenever my family starts to get a cold I make onion soup using as many different kinds of onions as I can get.. We also take slippery elm for sore throats and myhrr gum. I agree with you about belief, trust in the body God has given you rather then the doctors.. I haven't been to a doctor for over a decade now and the last time I went and had a flu shot I wound up with the flu that lasted over 2 weeks. --- On Fri, 2/8/08, thea <nobltn528 wrote: thea <nobltn528 THE FLU health_and_healing Cc: nobltn528 Friday, February 8, 2008, 10:05 AM Well well well!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yep - all the Aluminium in the Milk of Mag keeps a heap of things away - it often solves the problem when people think they are having a heart attack too - onions are wonderful for colds - but it hit me today - I guess its because I'm on so many health lists - why are we so concerned all the time about our health? Why are we always asking for cures? It just seems to be a mind set. Jane - Danielle Hunt Very well written. My father heard of us getting the flu and commented on MOMagnesia and bottles of fish oil and they were rarely sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
