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.

Eating Raw Sunflower Seeds Will Greatly Improve Your Eyesight.

      I have always been near sighted in both eyes. I have worn glasses to see far away objects, to read and to drive a car, and one day while reading a book on herbs, there was a section on the eating of raw sunflower seeds. I am not talking about the roasted ones that have salt on them and everyone eats them as a snack. I am talking about the raw ones. These raw seeds are very high in Vitamin A. It says in this book that if you ate 2 or more tablespoons of the raw seeds everyday, that in two or three months time your eyes will have improved so much that for the first time you will be able to read a book without glasses. To me that did not sound right so I had to put the words I have read to a test on myself. The book did give several examples of people who followed these instructions and they all claimed they could read books with out glasses for the first time in their lives and many of them were in their 70's and 80's, and now it was my turn.
      Like I have already said I have worn glasses all my life for reading, so I had nothing to loose, and I began eating raw sunflower seeds. They were very tasty and I enjoyed eating them. They wasn't very expensive and I only paid 2 dollars a pound. Remember, that you are buying the raw seeds. The roasted ones will not work.The seeds have to be alive, and the raw seeds are alive. I ate two or more tablespoons of the raw seeds and in 3 months time my eyes did improve and I too could read a book for the first time in my life without glasses.  Eating the raw seeds does improve your eyesight. This was for real. That test was followed several years ago and to this day I am still reading without glasses.
      My wife also uses glasses for reading but she is far sighted. She only ate the seeds for 2 months and when they did not improve her eyes she gave up and claimed that it does not work for everyone. But she is only one example while others besides myself have found that the raw seeds does improve the eyesight. So give it a try. You have nothing to loose. If it does not work in two months then go for three months. If your eyesight did improve then it would have been worth it. Remember that no two fingerprints are the same, and no two people are the same. If your eyesight does improve then we would like to hear from you. Please leave a message in the comment section below, and best wishes to you, as you also do this test. For those of you who may be interested in reading this Herb Book and it is one of the best that I have ever read, it is called " Miracle Medicine Foods " by Rex Adams. About 40% of the book talks about the health benefits that you would receive from eating Garlic. But many of the other ideas that are listed in this book, I am a more healthier person by practicing them. This is a great reference book for all of those who believe in the natural methods. The book is out of date printed in 1977 but you could try the Inter Library Loan Program and see if they can find that book. Or there are several books for sale on the internet at different prices that you could buy to own.
      By the way, because raw sunflower seeds are very high in Vitamin A, the eating of these seeds will also kill Cancer cells if you have any, and they are high in the mineral called Zinc .Raw Pumpkin seeds are also very high in Zinc. Zinc is good in controlling body Odor. It strengthens both the white an red blood cells. Zinc will keep both men and women fertile, and it is good for our bones, our pancreas, the kidneys, the liver and the retina. So it it good to eat sunflower seeds on a regular bases. By the way it is the combination of Vitamin A and the mineral Zinc, both of these are improving the eyes. Both of these have to be used. The Vitamin A will not help your eyes on it's own. Other food sources for Zinc are the eating of cooked liver, soybeans and black-eyed peas. Or you can take Zinc supplements, that can be bought in most stores.

Simple Remedies For Diarrhea.

      Everybody gets Diarrhea from time to time and it is no fun. Sometimes it will come without a warning and there is nothing at that time you can do about it except to go home or to a place to where you can take a bath and change your clothes. If this experience happens to you around other people just quietly excuse your self and go and take care of the problem. Most of us will have this experience more then once in our lives and it happens when it happens and there is not a lot you can do to prevent this experience when it takes place. We all feel bad when others have this experience and we know what they are feeling in side because we have had the same experience. This will happen to the best of us so just grin and bear it, and then do what you can to take care of the problem.
      Diarrhea can be prevented if you are eating Fiber-Enriched foods. That means that your diet is centered around eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. The eating of whole grains means that you will grind your own wheat and other grain in a wheat grinder or a coffee grinder to make fresh hot cereal or fresh flour for pancakes, bread, muffins or for any of your baking needs. This fresh flour has both the Bran and the Wheat Germ in it. This fresh flour when eaten on a regular bases, it will prevent Diarrhea and also the eating of fresh fruits and vegetables will prevent you from ever having Diarrhea. The white flour that you buy in a store can cause Diarrhea because it has no Bran or Wheat Germ in it. Both of these have been removed. That is why it is so important that you grind your own flour. Also most of the prepared foods that you just pop into a microwave oven, this food have no fiber in it. If you are one that just don't want to use a wheat grinder then buy foods that say Fiber-Enriched on the product. Even though it is written on the product it does not have the same amount of Fiber that you will find in eating the fresh fruits and vegetables and the whole grains. Eating foods that are high in Fiber will also prevent you from having Cancer.
      Sometimes when we buy a case of oranges at Christmas time and we are eating lots of oranges, it will give us Diarrhea. The eating of lots of fruit all at one time, this will flush out the toxins and the impurities out of our system. This is a natural process that is taking place. In fact it is a good idea to eat a meal of fresh fruit  from time to time and only fresh fruit so you can get rid of those toxins and impurities. This is a natural process and you will get Diarrhea. You let it be to do its thing and then you go back to a diet of Fiber-Enriched foods.
      If you presently have Diarrhea don't panic. There are a few Remedies that will stop Diarrhea in most people. If one of these does not work then try another one or try a combination of them.

 1. Grading Carrots and eating them raw will cure diarrhea.
 2. Eating two or three bananas will stop diarrhea.
 3. Put Apples in a blender then pour this into a bowl and eat it after it turns brown. I have also been informed that you can cut up an apple and eat the slices after they have turned brown.
 4. Eat Yogurt. This is pleasant to eat for both adults or children. It is suggested that when Diarrhea does happen it is best to eat yogurt after each meal.
 5. Garlic will cure Diarrhea real quick if you dice or grate it and eat it with a teaspoon of honey or milk and take this two or three times a day.
 6. Carob powder is excellent in controlling Diarrhea, and if you add a pinch of Slippery Elm Powder this Remedy will work a whole lot better. For those of you who don't know Carob is a chocolate substitute for those who can not eat chocolate, and by adding some Carob to your pancake mix, or sprinkling it onto your hot or cold cereal or adding it to any of your baking goods or sprinkle some into your milk or juices, this will help to prevent any future Diarrhea.
 7. The eating of a couple of handfuls of Blueberries, Huckleberries, Blackberries and fresh Garden Peas, all of these will control Diarrhea. All of these are high in fiber and they are all rich in Pectin. Both of these, the Fiber and the Pectin are deadly enemies to Diarrhea. I have a friend that lives in New Jersey and blueberries  grows wild everywhere. I also have a friend that lives in Walla Walla, Washington and blackberries grow wild there everywhere. Where I live Huckleberries grow wild on many of the mountain slopes out here and they can be picked during the month of August. Garden Peas can be grown in anybodies backyard anywhere in the world. See my article on " How to grow lots of peas. ". Those of you who have access to any of these berries, you need to store some in your freezer so that when Diarrhea strikes anyone in your family you can pull these berries out of the freezer and put them to good use. Most stories sell both blueberries and/or blackberries for several months. This is an enjoyable way to control Diarrhea.
 8. There is also the Wonder Medicine called  " Pepto-Bismol " which can be bought in any store. A small bottle of this medicine will fit just about anywhere and it can travel wherever you go. It will cure Diarrhea, heartburn, Upset Stomach, Nausea and Indigestion. So don't leave home without one.
   
      Farm animals will sometimes get Diarrhea, and if it is not controlled the animals could die. When the Diarrhea takes place in a farm animal, boil some Barley and when the Barley Water has cooled, let your farm animals drink it. This Barley Water will control Diarrhea in both animals and people but people most generally will not drink it because it is nasty tasting. Rice Water will also cure Diarrhea in both animals and people.
      There is a way to make Barley Water taste really good and I call it Barley Brew. I will go to a farmer's store and I will buy a 50 pound bag of rolled barley that is used to feed horses. This grain is fairly clean but I will put the  grain in a cake pan or on a cookie pan with sides on it and let it roast in an oven for a couple of hours at 350 degrees or until it turns to a golden brown color. Then you use a double boiler pan to make your brew. A double boiler is two pans inside each other. The bottom one holds water that you would boil. The inside pan has holes all over the bottom of it and you put on the in side of it, a double paper towel. Then you pour onto the paper towel a fair amount of the roasted barley. The steam will rise up and drippings will come off the barley forming Barley Brew in the bottom pan. This brew will be a brown color and you pour it into coffee mugs and sweeten it with sugar or honey. Then you add cream, milk or a coffee creamer. This brew is very tasty and it is very healthy for you. Barley Brew will clean all the impurities out of your body and it will control Diarrhea. Also you can drink all you want with no side effects.


      Always remember that if you are eating a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, your chances of getting Diarrhea will be rare. Believe it or not your chances of getting Constipated, will be rare also. The eating of Fiber-Enriched foods will help you out in both ways.
