Coconut Oil is a " Super Food ". When you include coconut oil as a part of your regular diet it will slowly get rid of the unwanted fat around your waist. You read that right. Coconut Oil will get rid of that Pot Belly that you may have had for some time. But you need to remember that drinking a lot of pop and or beer will also create a pot belly. So you need to cut down on both of these if you want the coconut oil to do its job in getting rid of that fat on the gut, because the beer and the pop will continue to provide you with a pot belly even though the coconut oil is doing it's best into getting rid of it.
Coconut Oil is a wonderful natural medicine. Because the coconut is the fruit of the palm tree it will naturally get rid of the poisonous toxins that are found in the body and it also kills free radicals. Besides helping you to loose weight it is also good for Diabetes, irritable bowel syndrone, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid conditions, boosting your energy levels, boosting the immune system and it provides the body with a lot of good cholesterol. It is also good for softening and conditioning the skin giving it a moisturizing effect, and overcoming a disease called Psonasis.
Why does Coconut Oil work in so many different ways? Because it is a " Saturated Fat " called Medium Chain Triglycendes, and this fat works differently in your body then that of other " saturated fats ".
A few comments are listed below as to why we should include Coconut Oil in our diet.
1. As it is already listed up above Coconut Oil has a positive effect upon several medical problems.
2. People who eat coconuts on a regular bases, they are some of the most healthiest people around and many of them live way past 100 years old. The people who live in the South Pacific, their diets are mainly tropical fruits, fish and coconuts. They are a very healthy people with no heart diseases and very few of them ever get Cancer.
3. Coconut Oil will increase your energy levels and it will burn fat off your body automatically.
4. The Lauric Acid that is found in Coconut Oil will kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. In other words the eating of Coconut Oil will kill infections in the body automatically.
5. Coconut Oil will kill your hunger pains so that you will eat less.
6. For those of you who are having seizures, Coconut Oil will help to control it. This is both for adults and also children.
7. Coconut Oil will improve Blood Cholesterol levels and it will also lower your risk of heart diseases.
8. Coconut Oil is a great skin moisturizer and it also makes a good sunscreen.
9. Coconut Oil will boost up the function of the brain and improves the memory power. It will also help the people who are suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
10. Coconut Oil will help your body to loose it's fat especially the dangerous fat that is found in the abdominal cavity.
11. Coconut Oil controls blood sugar levels. It helps to improve the body's use of insulin and it increases digestion and it helps the body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
The only Side Effect that a first time user could experience is Diarrhea for the first few days. Because coconuts are the fruit of the Palm Tree, they will destroy toxins in your body and for a few days you will have diarrhea which is a natural processes when the body is getting rid of those poisons that are found in your body. After a couple of days you will be back to normal with no more problems, because your body has gotten use to this new oil.
There are several ways that you can add Coconut Oil to your diet. For the first time users, use only a little bit at a time until your body gets use to it. My wife melts it down and adds a tablespoon of this oil to baked goods or pancake batter. It can be added to gravies to put on mashed potatoes. It could be added to fruit smoothies, root beer floats or milkshakes.You could spread it onto bagels or toast followed by cream cheese or jelly. Some people will even melt it down and add yellow food coloring and salt and when it becomes solid again it will make a good butter substitute, and it taste like butter.
When buying Coconut Oil buy the " Organic Virgin Coconut Oil ". My wife bought some from a neighbor who bought a case of 12 bottles at 16 dollars a bottle. These were 32 oz. bottles and they were ordered from off the internet. On another day my wife found some Coconut Oil at a store. These were 29 oz. bottles for only 8 dollars. So when you go looking for this product, remember that some stores will sale it for less money then other stores. If your store does not have it talk to the manager and they will order it. Or you can order it off the internet for a higher cost.

In the long run you will be glad that you did.
1. Buy Steel Toed Safety Shoes to wear while you work. You will never know when a large rock, or a heavy peace of wood, or heavy metal could fall onto your toes and injure them. Or you may step on a nail. The few extra dollars that you may have to spend on these shoes can save you hundreds of dollars in Doctor's Bills or being treated at the hospital for a badly injured foot.

You will have saved yourself a lot of money in the long run and you will still be able to hear when you get older while others have to wear hearing aids.
4. It is wise to wear a carpenters belt while you are working outside. It will save you a lot of time and space by having tools and nails at your finger tips when you need them rather then always retracing your steps to get what you need.
5. Do you have extra plywood to be used for another day? Store them flat out side with supports every 12 inches. Then cover them with a tarp. If you stand them on end outside, they will warp. But if you stand them on end indoors then that should be OK as long as no moisture can not get to them.
6. When storing nuts, bolts, screws, nails, washers and other hardware I use the empty plastic oil bottles or empty antifreeze containers and I cut the sides out of them. This is great for organizing your hardware by putting these plastic containers to good use rather then throwing them away. The long necks and handles makes them easy to pull out to find what you need. You can also put a white tape by each container and write on it what each container is. My oil containers are double stacked to save space.
7. If you do not want to pay a few hundred dollars for a many drawer tool box, you can pick up old cabinets with drawers and stack them in your work shop. You can get these real cheap at thrift stores or yard sales and they are good for storing just about anything. I even put my case lot food into them. It makes the food handy and available when you need it.
8. Do you need a cheap work bench. Buy an old cabinet with drawers and/or cupboards and nail a piece of plywood to it. You now have a work bench. An old desk with drawers will also work. Then you can buy some old cabinets to put on the back side of your wood bench to store your wood working tools, screwdrivers, wrenches or anything else you may need. After you have organized your tools and everything is at your finger tips, you will be glad that you did it this way and this simple workbench will last you a long, long time. By the way, the only person you are pleasing is yourself.
9. An indoor-outdoor work light that uses a regular light bulb and is also called a strobe light, this will plug into any outlet. Most of these work lights have a clamp on them and they can be moved into any direction. These make great lights for any work table and they cost less then ten dollars. I have seen these lights at thrifts stores and yard sales for only a couple of bucks. A mechanic's light will also work as a good work table light.
10. Color TV's are nice to have but did you know that they use 3 times more energy then the black and white ones.
11. If you are going to buy more tools and power equipment in the near future, check with the adds at the mail-order companies and/or ' Harbor Freight ". These companies are very competitive and their prices are very low.
12. When you run into a rusted part and you cannot get it apart. Wrap a cloth around it and saturate it with WD-40. Let the cloth stay on all night long. Then loosen the part.
13. You will save a lot of money on your electric bill if you put your refrigerator and freezer on the back porch, in the garage or in the basement. some people will make an outside shed on the north side of the house to put the refrigerator and freezer in it. But remember they will use much more energy in a warm room compared to a cool one.
14. Remember that when you buy another refrigerator that the frost-free ones will use 50% more energy then the regular ones.
15. Growing shade trees around your house will keep it cooler during the hot summer months. Window fans use way less energy compared to air-conditioners. Because heat rises, open up attic and second story windows to let the hot air out. They also make special windows that can be installed that will automatically keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. In the long run because your house will be using less energy, these windows will pay for themselves and you will have them for many years to come.
16. If you are gluing any wood parts together you can use rubber bands as clamps. They can be bought in many different sizes at a hobby store and when you are not using them, just hang them on a nail by your work bench.
17. Make a homemade wood polish by mixing one third cup of each of the following: boiled linseed oil, turpentine and vinegar.Apply this mixture to your furniture with a soft rag and wipe it dry. Then polish it with another soft rag.
18. This is a home made window washer and it will leave no streaks. Mix one half of a cup of cornstarch to two quarts of water. Spay this on to your windows and wipe it clean.
19. A good and effective way to clean cutting boards is to rub onto them a paste made of baking soda and water. This will both clean and deodorize the cutting boards. If the cutting boards are extra smelly, leave the paste on it for several minutes. This will get rid of all smells. A 2nd way to clean a cutting board is to rub household vinegar all over it.
20. If you end up with crayon marks on your painted walls, never fear, toothpaste is near. Just scrub the walls with it and rinse. IF your kids don't seem to learn then make sure you have plenty of toothpaste on hand. But teach them kindly that coloring books and paper is so much better then the walls.
21. You can get a lot more juice out of your lemons and limes if you soak them in warm water for a few minutes before cutting them open.
22. When buying bananas, separate them when you get home and leave a one inch nob at the end of each banana. This will prevent them from ripening so fast.
23. This is a baking powder substitute. For every teaspoon of baking powder use one fourth of a teaspoon of baking soda and three-eights teaspoon of cream-of-tartar.
24. Putting a piece of bread into the cookie jar will keep the cookies soft and moist. This also works with brown sugar that is sitting in an enclosed container. The bread will prevent the sugar from getting hard.
25. The following is an easy trick into getting most of the gas out of cooked beans. After soaking the beans, throw away the water. Then boil the beans for 15 minutes and again throw away the water. Then cook the beans until they are tender, this will get rid of most of the gas.
26. Encourage your pop-corn to pop more easier by sprinkling the pop-corn with warm water one hour before popping.
27. When you store your grains for a long period of time, put into the container a dried piece of hot pepper and/or a Bay leaf. This will prevent all kinds of bugs from bothering your grains and beans.
28. If you do not have a root cellar you can make an easy homemade one by digging a hole and putting a chest freezer that does not work into the ground. Slope the ground around it for easy water run off. This makes a handy root cellar for storing vegetables. If a chest freezer can not be found then use a large ice chest or a Styrofoam ice chest. Bury these into the ground where the sun does not shine much, and better yet put a roof over them.
29. Are you having a hard time cracking those hard shelled nuts? Then try a small bench vise. This is great for cracking all kinds of nuts. There is a second easy way to crack those hard shelled nuts and that is to run a car over them on cement. Put a 4x4 piece of wood on each side of the tire and run the car back and forth over the nuts. Be sure to put a clean rag onto the cement, add the nuts then use another clean rag to put over the nuts. This will keep your nuts clean and it will prevent the shells from flying everywhere.
30. For those of you who are corn-on-the-cob eaters. An easy way to remove the silk from the corn cob is to run a damp paper towel or napkin length wise down the ear. The silk will cling to the paper making it's removal very easy.
31. Would you like to see pealed garlic last for a long time. Put them into a glass jar of olive oil. Because the air can not get to them they will last for a long long time.In fact they will keep for several months. The garlic flavored oil does taste great on salads.
32. When storing onions in your frig, be sure to cut off the sprout end. This will make the onion last so much longer in your frig.
33. To prevent onions from making you cry while cutting them up, wear goggles. You can leave them in your freezer for 15 minutes or in your refrigerator for one hour before cutting them up.
34. Do not peal your potatoes and carrots for eating. Most of the vitamins and minerals are found in the peelings. Just wash them clean, slice them up and then cook them.
35. Do not throw away the water when you cook vegetables. This juice is full of vitamins and minerals. Save this juice to make soups and/or beef stews. It will make the soup so much healthier.
36. Boil your potatoes in a wired french-fry basket that will fit into another pan. When they are done, you can pull out the wire basket and it will drain on it's own with no problems. I see these wire baskets quite often at thrift stores.
37. When a recipe calls for a cheese cloth to strain soup or teas, don't panic if you do not have one. A nylon sock will also work.
38. Hang a ruler in your kitchen or put a small measuring tape in your drawer. When a recipe calls for a 9 inch pie pan or a 9 x 12 inch cake pan, you will be able to measure it to know that you have the right sized pan to do the job. These measuring tools come in handy for other projects also.
39. Do you have a lid that is too tight on a jar. Turn the jar upside down and you turn the bottle while hot water is running onto the lid. This will most generally loosen the lid. Also buying a set of rubber gloves for your kitchen will help to loosen a tight lid.
My friend had an Uncle that had big hands and he could loosen any tight lid. His name was Rex. Rex is no longer with us. He is now living in the happy hunting grounds. When my friend can not loosen a lid, he will call upon Uncle Rex for help. I also have made Rex my uncle. When I get a tight lid I will look up into the sky and say: " Uncle Rex, I need help. " and the lid will suddenly become loose. I have called upon Rex several times and the lid will always come loose. Who knows, maybe he could become your uncle also.
40. Would you like to save 30 or 40 bucks a month? Turn off your water heater when you are not using it. It uses a lot of energy to keep that water hot. If you have an insulation blanket around the heater it will keep the water hot for over 24 hours. Our water heater goes on and off 3 or 4 times a week. Remember that when it is night time outside, everyone will be in bed fast asleep and no one will be using the water heater. So why leave it on if you are not using it. By the way, you can get an electrician to rig up a toggle switch inside your house so that you can easily turn the water heater on and off. The money you have saved can go into a savings account. When you leave the house for one to several days, turn off your water heater.
41. Do you have chlorinated water coming out of your water taps? Do not drink chlorinated water. It is bad on your heart, your kidneys and your liver. It also speeds up your aging process. People who drink chlorinated water have a 90% higher chance of getting Cancer. So you need to do the following. Put that chlorinated water into wide mouth containers or water pitchers and let them sit for 24 hours. This water is now fit to drink and it will taste so much better and be more healthier to drink This water is unchlorinated.
42. Is it difficult for you to climb steps because your legs ache or they are weak and not as strong as they use to be. Never fear! There is a safe and easy way to climb up and down those steps and you will have more strength to do so. That secret is to go up and down those steps on all fours just like a dog or a cat. In other words, instead of using just 2 feet you also use your hands. When I go up the steps on all fours I use my fists and not my hands. When you come back down the steps, you come down the steps backwards on all fours. In this way you can come down slowly and carefully and you will not feel dizzy. Try it. If it works for me, then it will also work for you.
43. Take time to shop at yard sales and thrift shops. They often sale next to new stuff for a cheap price. Christmas gifts can bought at these places throughout the year and stored away until Christmas comes. Buying these next to new items will save you a lot of money compared to the new stuff. Oh there will be sales to where the new stuff can be bought fairly cheap and that is OK. I too an always looking for these special deals.
44. This is a very good substitute toilet bowl cleaner. Use Baking Soda and vinegar. Sprinkle Baking Soda all over the toilet and then spray vinegar on it. This makes an excellent cleaner and deodorizer for your toilet. When you leave the house for a few hours add a fourth cup of bleach to your toilet. This will automatically clean your toilet while you are gone.
45. An easy homemade cleanser to be use on extra dirty dishes, appliances, corning ware, sinks and tubs and this cleanser is non-abrasive, use a concentrated detergent and Baking Soda.
46. If you ever spill grease on your floor, do not panic. All you have to do is pour ice-cold water onto the greased floor or put ice cubes on it. The grease will harden up and you will be able to scrap it off the floor easily and safely.
47. Would you like to save one or two hundred dollars every month? When you go to work, ride the buss or go in a car pool. Not only will you save yourself a bunch of gas money but you will also prevent wear and tear on your car or truck. But be wise and put this extra money you have saved into a savings program so when you need a little bit of extra cash, you will have some.
48. Do not park a refrigerator next to a stove. The heat coming off of the stove will cause the frig to use more energy.
49. Install in your bathroom a low-efficient shower head. It will cut down your water use by 50%.
50. Most of your clothes can be washed in cold water using cold-water detergents. Extra dirty clothes will need a warmer water, but in the long run look at all the money you can save by washing most of your clothes in cold water.
51. Insulate your water heater with a Water-Heater Blanket. These can be bought at Home-Improvement Stores. These special blankets will help to keep your hot water HOT for a much longer period of time.
52. If you will take the time to vacuum under your frig and on the back side once a month, your frig will work so much better and it will use by far less energy.
53. When you decide to plant trees in your yard for good looks or shade, plant nut or fruit trees. Because the prices on fruit are always going up in the stores, the mature fruit and nut trees will provide all the produce you want and over the years it will be for free. This includes peaches, pears, apples,plums and apricots just to name a few of the possibilities. Again I say that all of this fruit will be free for the taking over the years.
54. Many of us have a clothes dryer. They are really nice to have but they do use up a lot of energy. If you would like to save some big bucks, then hang your wet clothes out side on the sunny days. The cool breeze that is blowing on them will make your clothes soft and fluffy and fresh smelling. Plus your electric or gas utility bill will be much lower.
55. When I was younger I lived in California, USA for two years and I was told about those who could easily pick your pockets. They can pick every pocket except your front pockets. So from that time fourth I have always put my wallet into my front pants pockets with the smaller bills and wear a money belt around my waist whenever I had to take the larger bills or you could put your larger bills into your shoe. To this very day I still put my wallet in my front pants pocket while other men put them into their back pockets and they loose their wallet from time to time. So be wise in the way that you carry your money when you go places.
56. Raw peanuts and raisins are added to the boiling water for a few minutes before adding the rice. This will give the rice an unusual but excellent taste.
57, When you pick green tomatoes out of your garden before a frost, you can speed up the ripening time by putting those green tomatoes into an air tight bag with apples. They are both creating ethylene gas as they sit in that air tight bag which speeds up the tomato ripening time.
58. For all of you who grow radishes in your garden, you can eat the radish tops also. Wash the leaves and cut them up to be put into your salads, soups and stir fried foods. This will give your food a peppery taste. These radish tops are rich in vitamins and minerals. Don't eat the radish tops from a store. You have no idea as to what chemicals were sprayed onto them to help them to grow.
59. Would you like to keep your refrigerator from becoming smelly? Put an open box of baking soda into your frig. This will stop all smells. Putting baking soda on your body after a bath will prevent body odor. Also by putting some of this into your shoes it will put a stop to stinky feet. Leave an open box of baking soda on the counter of your kitchen, it will help to clear up any bad kitchen smells and IT WILL STOP ANY FIRE THAT MAY ACCIDENTALLY BE STARTED. Keep a box of baking soda near the stove so that you can grab it when you need it.
You can also use Charcoal Briquettes to stop odors in the frig. After a time you can reheat them in an oven and use them over and over again. Maybe you can double this idea by putting both of these into the frig to stop all odors.
60. If the water fixtures on your sink or tub gets dull looking from soap suds, soak a rag in vinegar and wrap it around the fixture. This will loosen up the soap suds and you will be able to polish up those fixtures again.
61. It is best to have three kinds of cutting boards in your kitchen for safety reasons. One is for fish and meats, one is for onions and garlic and the third one is for fruits, vegetables and baking products. Wash them after using them and write onto them Meat, Onion and Other.
62. Do you have some silver containers that are tarnished and you have no silver cleaner? Try some toothpaste and coat the silver object with it. Work it into a foam and then rinse it off with warm water. If your silver object has intricate grooves then use a soft bristled toothbrush and again work it into a foam before a warm rinse.Baking Soda will also work. Just sprinkle it onto a damp rag and rub the tarnish off followed by a warm rinse.
63. Do you have an Ant problem in your house? Make a mixture of half and half water and vinegar and wash or spray your counter tops, cabinets and the floors with this mixture. You can also sprinkle baby powder on the ant entrance ways. Ants will not walk through baby powder.
64. Grass stains are common in children's clothes. To remove them rub diluted rubbing alcohol on the stain followed by a liquid laundry soap. Then put your clothes into the washing machine.
65. When the weather is sunny and dry outside, hang your clothes on a clothes line instead of using the dryer. This will save you a bunch of money. Or you can hang them on your back porch, or in a large shed, in the basement, or in the bedrooms being they are not generally used during the day. Just string up some clothesline and take it back down when you are not using it.
In Italy most people will hang their clothes on a clothesline rather then use a dryer because it saves them money. Try it and your gas or electric bill will be much less.

67. If your car or truck battery gets some acid on the terminals, make a paste of baking soda and water. Then put this onto your battery.
68. When your radiator on your car or truck gets a small leak and it will not hold water, dump some black pepper into it. The small pieces will swell up and plug up the holes as the water circulates. Even a car mechanic will tell you to do this. If the black pepper does not work then you may have to put in a new radiator. But this black pepper will plug most of the holes. When you go on a long trip, take a can of black pepper with you just in case your radiator starts leaking.
69. If you grow a garden every year, you could save yourself over a thousand dollars on your food bill. Plus anything you eat from an organically grown garden will protect you from Cancer. If you know nothing about gardening you will find a lot of books at the local library on the subject or one of your neighbors will gladly come over to your house and help you to get started. The worst part of growing a garden is keeping the weeds down. The weeds will grow faster then your garden plants and they will prevent them from growing. So it is important to pull the weeds all summer long. But the eating of your produce from the garden after all that work, this is the best part of growing a garden. Gardening can be fun if you are always trying new gardening methods and growing the new varieties of garden seed. Believe me, it is a wonderful hobby.
70. It is very important to open up a savings account at a bank. As a general rule put 10% of each paycheck into the bank. If this does not look possible then try at least 20 dollars. When ever anything breaks down and you may need money for car parts or parts for home repairs, you will have money in the bank to take care of it. If the savings account should some day amount to several thousand dollars then you could borrow from your yourself for another car, a new stove or a new frig. In this way you will not need to get a loan from a bank. But what ever amount of money that you pull out of the bank, do not cheat yourself. Slowly put it back into the savings account again so that the next time you need money you will have some.
71. Make bacon really tasty and grease will not pop out of the fry pan. Dip each piece of bacon into sweet milk and then roll it into flour before frying them. The bacon will not shrink as much and the brown grease is excellent for making gravies.
72. For the most beautiful potatoes you have ever cooked, add one teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the water. This will make the potatoes a snowy white in color.

Slope the ground around it for easy water run off. This makes a handy root cellar for storing vegetables. If a chest freezer can not be found then use a large ice chest or a Styrofoam ice chest. Bury these into the ground where the sun does not shine much, and better yet put a roof over them.
29. Are you having a hard time cracking those hard shelled nuts? Then try a small bench vise. This is great for cracking all kinds of nuts. There is a second easy way to crack those hard shelled nuts and that is to run a car over them on cement.

37. When a recipe calls for a cheese cloth to strain soup or teas, don't panic if you do not have one. A nylon sock will also work.
38. Hang a ruler in your kitchen or put a small measuring tape in your drawer. When a recipe calls for a 9 inch pie pan or a 9 x 12 inch cake pan, you will be able to measure it to know that you have the right sized pan to do the job. These measuring tools come in handy for other projects also.
39. Do you have a lid that is too tight on a jar. Turn the jar upside down and you turn the bottle while hot water is running onto the lid. This will most generally loosen the lid. Also buying a set of rubber gloves for your kitchen will help to loosen a tight lid.
My friend had an Uncle that had big hands and he could loosen any tight lid. His name was Rex. Rex is no longer with us. He is now living in the happy hunting grounds. When my friend can not loosen a lid, he will call upon Uncle Rex for help. I also have made Rex my uncle. When I get a tight lid I will look up into the sky and say: " Uncle Rex, I need help. " and the lid will suddenly become loose. I have called upon Rex several times and the lid will always come loose. Who knows, maybe he could become your uncle also.
40. Would you like to save 30 or 40 bucks a month? Turn off your water heater when you are not using it. It uses a lot of energy to keep that water hot. If you have an insulation blanket around the heater it will keep the water hot for over 24 hours. Our water heater goes on and off 3 or 4 times a week. Remember that when it is night time outside, everyone will be in bed fast asleep and no one will be using the water heater. So why leave it on if you are not using it. By the way, you can get an electrician to rig up a toggle switch inside your house so that you can easily turn the water heater on and off. The money you have saved can go into a savings account. When you leave the house for one to several days, turn off your water heater.
41. Do you have chlorinated water coming out of your water taps? Do not drink chlorinated water. It is bad on your heart, your kidneys and your liver. It also speeds up your aging process.

Put that chlorinated water into wide mouth containers or water pitchers and let them sit for 24 hours. This water is now fit to drink and it will taste so much better and be more healthier to drink This water is unchlorinated.
42. Is it difficult for you to climb steps because your legs ache or they are weak and not as strong as they use to be. Never fear! There is a safe and easy way to climb up and down those steps and you will have more strength to do so. That secret is to go up and down those steps on all fours just like a dog or a cat. In other words, instead of using just 2 feet you also use your hands. When I go up the steps on all fours I use my fists and not my hands. When you come back down the steps, you come down the steps backwards on all fours. In this way you can come down slowly and carefully and you will not feel dizzy. Try it. If it works for me, then it will also work for you.
43. Take time to shop at yard sales and thrift shops. They often sale next to new stuff for a cheap price. Christmas gifts can bought at these places throughout the year and stored away until Christmas comes. Buying these next to new items will save you a lot of money compared to the new stuff. Oh there will be sales to where the new stuff can be bought fairly cheap and that is OK. I too an always looking for these special deals.
44. This is a very good substitute toilet bowl cleaner. Use Baking Soda and vinegar. Sprinkle Baking Soda all over the toilet and then spray vinegar on it. This makes an excellent cleaner and deodorizer for your toilet. When you leave the house for a few hours add a fourth cup of bleach to your toilet. This will automatically clean your toilet while you are gone.
45. An easy homemade cleanser to be use on extra dirty dishes, appliances, corning ware, sinks and tubs and this cleanser is non-abrasive, use a concentrated detergent and Baking Soda.
46. If you ever spill grease on your floor, do not panic. All you have to do is pour ice-cold water onto the greased floor or put ice cubes on it. The grease will harden up and you will be able to scrap it off the floor easily and safely.
47. Would you like to save one or two hundred dollars every month? When you go to work, ride the buss or go in a car pool. Not only will you save yourself a bunch of gas money but you will also prevent wear and tear on your car or truck. But be wise and put this extra money you have saved into a savings program so when you need a little bit of extra cash, you will have some.
48. Do not park a refrigerator next to a stove. The heat coming off of the stove will cause the frig to use more energy.
49. Install in your bathroom a low-efficient shower head. It will cut down your water use by 50%.
50. Most of your clothes can be washed in cold water using cold-water detergents. Extra dirty clothes will need a warmer water, but in the long run look at all the money you can save by washing most of your clothes in cold water.
51. Insulate your water heater with a Water-Heater Blanket. These can be bought at Home-Improvement Stores. These special blankets will help to keep your hot water HOT for a much longer period of time.
52. If you will take the time to vacuum under your frig and on the back side once a month, your frig will work so much better and it will use by far less energy.
53. When you decide to plant trees in your yard for good looks or shade, plant nut or fruit trees. Because the prices on fruit are always going up in the stores, the mature fruit and nut trees will provide all the produce you want and over the years it will be for free. This includes peaches, pears, apples,plums and apricots just to name a few of the possibilities. Again I say that all of this fruit will be free for the taking over the years.
54. Many of us have a clothes dryer. They are really nice to have but they do use up a lot of energy. If you would like to save some big bucks, then hang your wet clothes out side on the sunny days. The cool breeze that is blowing on them will make your clothes soft and fluffy and fresh smelling. Plus your electric or gas utility bill will be much lower.
55. When I was younger I lived in California, USA for two years and I was told about those who could easily pick your pockets. They can pick every pocket except your front pockets. So from that time fourth I have always put my wallet into my front pants pockets with the smaller bills and wear a money belt around my waist whenever I had to take the larger bills or you could put your larger bills into your shoe. To this very day I still put my wallet in my front pants pocket while other men put them into their back pockets and they loose their wallet from time to time. So be wise in the way that you carry your money when you go places.
56. Raw peanuts and raisins are added to the boiling water for a few minutes before adding the rice. This will give the rice an unusual but excellent taste.
57, When you pick green tomatoes out of your garden before a frost, you can speed up the ripening time by putting those green tomatoes into an air tight bag with apples. They are both creating ethylene gas as they sit in that air tight bag which speeds up the tomato ripening time.
58. For all of you who grow radishes in your garden, you can eat the radish tops also. Wash the leaves and cut them up to be put into your salads, soups and stir fried foods. This will give your food a peppery taste. These radish tops are rich in vitamins and minerals. Don't eat the radish tops from a store. You have no idea as to what chemicals were sprayed onto them to help them to grow.
59. Would you like to keep your refrigerator from becoming smelly? Put an open box of baking soda into your frig. This will stop all smells. Putting baking soda on your body after a bath will prevent body odor. Also by putting some of this into your shoes it will put a stop to stinky feet. Leave an open box of baking soda on the counter of your kitchen, it will help to clear up any bad kitchen smells and IT WILL STOP ANY FIRE THAT MAY ACCIDENTALLY BE STARTED. Keep a box of baking soda near the stove so that you can grab it when you need it.
You can also use Charcoal Briquettes to stop odors in the frig. After a time you can reheat them in an oven and use them over and over again. Maybe you can double this idea by putting both of these into the frig to stop all odors.
60. If the water fixtures on your sink or tub gets dull looking from soap suds, soak a rag in vinegar and wrap it around the fixture. This will loosen up the soap suds and you will be able to polish up those fixtures again.
61. It is best to have three kinds of cutting boards in your kitchen for safety reasons. One is for fish and meats, one is for onions and garlic and the third one is for fruits, vegetables and baking products. Wash them after using them and write onto them Meat, Onion and Other.
62. Do you have some silver containers that are tarnished and you have no silver cleaner? Try some toothpaste and coat the silver object with it. Work it into a foam and then rinse it off with warm water. If your silver object has intricate grooves then use a soft bristled toothbrush and again work it into a foam before a warm rinse.Baking Soda will also work. Just sprinkle it onto a damp rag and rub the tarnish off followed by a warm rinse.
63. Do you have an Ant problem in your house? Make a mixture of half and half water and vinegar and wash or spray your counter tops, cabinets and the floors with this mixture. You can also sprinkle baby powder on the ant entrance ways. Ants will not walk through baby powder.

65. When the weather is sunny and dry outside, hang your clothes on a clothes line instead of using the dryer. This will save you a bunch of money. Or you can hang them on your back porch, or in a large shed, in the basement, or in the bedrooms being they are not generally used during the day. Just string up some clothesline and take it back down when you are not using it.
In Italy most people will hang their clothes on a clothesline rather then use a dryer because it saves them money. Try it and your gas or electric bill will be much less.
66. Remember to turn off any lights you are not using in your house. Also dimmer switches will use much less energy then the regular switches. Remember also that that pure white walls inside your house will reflect more light then dark walls.

68. When your radiator on your car or truck gets a small leak and it will not hold water, dump some black pepper into it. The small pieces will swell up and plug up the holes as the water circulates. Even a car mechanic will tell you to do this. If the black pepper does not work then you may have to put in a new radiator. But this black pepper will plug most of the holes. When you go on a long trip, take a can of black pepper with you just in case your radiator starts leaking.
69. If you grow a garden every year, you could save yourself over a thousand dollars on your food bill. Plus anything you eat from an organically grown garden will protect you from Cancer. If you know nothing about gardening you will find a lot of books at the local library on the subject or one of your neighbors will gladly come over to your house and help you to get started. The worst part of growing a garden is keeping the weeds down. The weeds will grow faster then your garden plants and they will prevent them from growing. So it is important to pull the weeds all summer long. But the eating of your produce from the garden after all that work, this is the best part of growing a garden. Gardening can be fun if you are always trying new gardening methods and growing the new varieties of garden seed. Believe me, it is a wonderful hobby.
70. It is very important to open up a savings account at a bank. As a general rule put 10% of each paycheck into the bank. If this does not look possible then try at least 20 dollars. When ever anything breaks down and you may need money for car parts or parts for home repairs, you will have money in the bank to take care of it. If the savings account should some day amount to several thousand dollars then you could borrow from your yourself for another car, a new stove or a new frig. In this way you will not need to get a loan from a bank. But what ever amount of money that you pull out of the bank, do not cheat yourself. Slowly put it back into the savings account again so that the next time you need money you will have some.
71. Make bacon really tasty and grease will not pop out of the fry pan. Dip each piece of bacon into sweet milk and then roll it into flour before frying them. The bacon will not shrink as much and the brown grease is excellent for making gravies.

Remedies For Burns.
This is a subject that should be taken very seriously. " All Burns Should Be Handled By A Doctor Or A Trained Medical Person ". But some of you may live far away from a Doctor or getting to a Doctor is not possible. If this is the case with you, then there are some Remedies that can be helpful.
First of all there are three kinds of burns:
A. First Degree Burns----This is a minor burn. A sunburn, a rash or a burn from scalding hot water.
B. Second Degree Burns----This is when the burn forms blisters on the skin.
C. Third Degree Burns----This is the most Serious Burn, when flesh has been burnt. This is a burn that will put a person into a state of shock. On this type of Burn a person needs to be taken to a Doctor just as soon as possible. This kind of Burn could cause death or if blood poisoning sets in, the person could loose an arm or a leg.
If a Doctor can not be found, the first choice I have as a Remedy is HONEY! This is a good choice for both Second and Third Degree Burns. Remove all the clothing from the burnt area and then coat the Burn with a thick layer of Honey. For serious Third Degree Burns, treat the person for shock. Rest the head on a pillow, and lay him on his back. Elevate both feet so that they are higher then the head and then cover the person with a blanket.
A mid-western Doctor from the United States was faced with an emergency, and his child had Third Degree Burns. There was plenty of Honey available so he coated his son with the Honey. When the burns all healed, there was no scaring. When the Doctor went back to work, he talked the hospital into having plenty of Honey available to be used on burnt patients. Honey is both a natural healer and a disinfectant. It naturally draws the heat out of a Burn.
A second way to treat a 2nd or 3rd Degree Burn comes from a book called " Back To Eden " by a Jethro Kloss. This man is an expert when it comes to herbs and how to use them. On page 283 of his book, he talks about treating deep serious Burns by soaking a clean cloth in Kerosene and wrapping it around the Burn. The Writer claims he has treated many large burns with this Kerosene method and there was very little pain. My wife said it is strange to use a flammable fuel like Kerosene on a Burn, but in the good old days there were a lot of different substances that was used as Remedies. If any of you readers out there have ever heard of using Kerosene for Burns or other problems, please feel free to make a comment on the bottom of this page. We would like to hear from you.
A second way to treat a 2nd or 3rd Degree Burn by Jethro Kloss was to bath these Burns with a special lotion. This is made be taking a teaspoon each of Golden Seal, Myrrh and Boric Acid and you add these three to a pint of boiling water. You let this mixture stand for a half of an hour. Then you pour off the clear liquid and apply these three ingredients with a cotton ball to the Burn. Then you cover the treated Burn with a gauze. He goes on to say that if there is any proud flesh then sprinkle it with Burnt Alum. Even Jethro Kloss suggests that if the Burn is deep then you need to see a Doctor or go to the hospital.
Most of the minor Burns can be treated at home or where ever an activity is taking place. There are several Remedies for minor burns. they are as follows:
1. It is wise to have an Aloe Vera plant growing on your window sill at your house. When a person gets a minor Burn, the juice from an Aloe Vera plant is very soothing to a Burn and it will help it to heal without any major problems.
2. Egg whites mixed with olive oil and applied to a Burn, this will bring the heat out and after a gauze that has been put over the Burn, it will heal properly.
3. As listed above Honey is great when applied to Burns follow by a gauze.
4. There are many salves and lotions that can be bought at a store to be used on Burns. The store manager will help you to pick the right one.
Often when you are on the beach, or at a picnic or working or playing in your own backyard, many of us will get sun burnt. Below are several ways to treat sunburn:
A. I personally have used Yellow Prepared Mustard. This is often available at picnics and other family get togethers. Just rub it on your arms or neck . It is soothing and it makes the burning go away. At night you can go to sleep without that prickly feeling on the back of your neck with Mustard applied to it.
B. The juice from a slice of onion rubbed on minor Burns is very soothing.
C. Cut a lemon in half and rub the lemon juice all over the minor Burn.
D. If you have Vitamin E Oil, rub this onto minor Burns. It draws the heat out and it is very soothing.
E. House hold Vinegar is good for minor Burns.
F. The juice of a strawberry cut in half is very soothing to a sunburn.
G. The juice from a slice of potato is great for sunburn.
H. White Flour, Baking Soda and Corn Starch will stop a Burn. A friend of mine was using an iron skillet and he got it too hot. He burned his hand real bad when he grabbed the handle. There was a bag of flour near by and he put his hand into the flour and found instant relief.
I. Wearing a bandanna around your neck or wearing a long sleeve cotton shirt, this will prevent sunburn on the arms and back of your neck.
One should never panic when there are so many ways to treat a Burn. One of the first rules of thumb in treating a Burn on your hands or feet is to put them into cold water for several minutes. This will stop the burning process, then you apply Honey or mustard to it and bandage it.
A lady from India who was living in the United States, she suggested of putting yogurt on any Burn even the deep ones and then bandage it up. Also it was suggested of taking a clean cloth and soaking this into White Vinegar and wrap this around 2nd and 3rd Degree Burns changing the bandages once or twice a day. This will cause the Burn to heal without any problems.
AGAIN I REPEAT MYSELF THAT ALL BURNS SHOULD BE TREATED SERIOUSLY BY A DOCTOR OR GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND GET THE BURN PROPERLY CARED FOR.
By the way, those of you who have First Aid Kits and you carry them where ever you go, it is wise to include a small bottle of Honey, mustard and/or Vinegar. These could be the small squeezable plastic bottles. Or a small bottle of Vitamin E Oil will also work. These are to be used for burns only. If you use Honey then you need to check it from time to time to make sure it will not crystallize. Of course you can remelt it by letting it sit in the sun.
I have been informed about " St. John Wort Oil " that this oil is great for deeper Burns followed by a bandage. Also when blisters have formed, do not break them open to let the fluid out. You can prevent infection by leaving the fluid where it is. This is the bodies natural barrier in protecting the Burn from dirt and infection.
Have you ever heard of a 4th, 5th or a 6th Degree Burn? You do not hear much about these three because they are somewhat Military Terms. The 4th Degree Burn are rashes that form all over your body because you have been exposed to an operating Military Antenna for too long of a period of time. The 5th Degree Burns are Radiation Burns that would form on your body from being exposed to Radio-Active substances. This is very deadly and very few people survive it. People who are involved in an Atom Bomb drop will suffer from 5th Degree Burns and very few people will survive this experience.
The 6th Degree Burns is usually the most feared of all the Burns. These Burns on the body comes from Extra-Teresteral Technology. In other words someone got captured by Aliens and experiments were done on them. If this ever happens to you, it is best to keep your mouth shut to those you do not trust, because you may end up being a test subject for some government scientist that will want to know how, when,where and why you have received those 6th Degree Burns. Most of the Worlds Governments will tell you that Aliens from another planet is all a bunch of boloney. But at the same time the US Air Force has two books that talks about UFO'S and Aliens. They are called " The Air Force Blue Book " and " The Air Force Black Book ". Both of these books can be checked out through the Inter-Library Loan Program. The Library at Utah State has both of these books on the second floor for anyone to read. But they will not loan them out.
This article was written to help all of us to know what to do when a person gets a bad burn. There are many good ways to treat a burn but when it is possible, please take the burnt person to a Hospital or to a Doctor. They will know what to do.

By the way, those of you who have First Aid Kits and you carry them where ever you go, it is wise to include a small bottle of Honey, mustard and/or Vinegar. These could be the small squeezable plastic bottles. Or a small bottle of Vitamin E Oil will also work. These are to be used for burns only. If you use Honey then you need to check it from time to time to make sure it will not crystallize. Of course you can remelt it by letting it sit in the sun.
I have been informed about " St. John Wort Oil " that this oil is great for deeper Burns followed by a bandage. Also when blisters have formed, do not break them open to let the fluid out. You can prevent infection by leaving the fluid where it is. This is the bodies natural barrier in protecting the Burn from dirt and infection.
Have you ever heard of a 4th, 5th or a 6th Degree Burn? You do not hear much about these three because they are somewhat Military Terms. The 4th Degree Burn are rashes that form all over your body because you have been exposed to an operating Military Antenna for too long of a period of time. The 5th Degree Burns are Radiation Burns that would form on your body from being exposed to Radio-Active substances. This is very deadly and very few people survive it. People who are involved in an Atom Bomb drop will suffer from 5th Degree Burns and very few people will survive this experience.
The 6th Degree Burns is usually the most feared of all the Burns. These Burns on the body comes from Extra-Teresteral Technology. In other words someone got captured by Aliens and experiments were done on them. If this ever happens to you, it is best to keep your mouth shut to those you do not trust, because you may end up being a test subject for some government scientist that will want to know how, when,where and why you have received those 6th Degree Burns. Most of the Worlds Governments will tell you that Aliens from another planet is all a bunch of boloney. But at the same time the US Air Force has two books that talks about UFO'S and Aliens. They are called " The Air Force Blue Book " and " The Air Force Black Book ". Both of these books can be checked out through the Inter-Library Loan Program. The Library at Utah State has both of these books on the second floor for anyone to read. But they will not loan them out.
This article was written to help all of us to know what to do when a person gets a bad burn. There are many good ways to treat a burn but when it is possible, please take the burnt person to a Hospital or to a Doctor. They will know what to do.
