Experimenting

[Guest guest]

I think I'll tell the list about an experiment I started yesterday.(I mentioned before how I tried a small amount of peroxide solution in saline during previous sinus infections.)Since I have little patience for lengthy preparations, I thought I'd try something even simpler than crushing onions.Since onions are reported to have helped, and since both the onion and garlic bulbs have been successfully used in folk remedies to fight fungal yuck, I've decided to be a guinea pig and try a simpler recipe with readily available and benign items.Dorot brand crushed garlic comes in frozen packages of twenty 4 gram cubes. I placed one cube into a paper coffee filter inside a shot glass. After it had had time to thaw, I added water (yeah, tap water) through the filter, and when the murky, garlicky liquid began to collect outside the filter, I poured some (No, I didn't measure; this is a crude experiment!) into a clean jar and added salt to make a mild, garlic/saline solution.  I refrigerated the jar after pouring a few oz. of it into an old flunisolide spray bottle, and doused my sinus passages with the stinky stuff. It really didn't burn, it stinks (I think it does. The sense of smell comes and goes), and I'll get back to you on whether the results are good, bad or negligible.I work full time and am very involved in two or more extracurricular projects in any given month, and I know I'm not likely at my age (61), given my need to sleep more find time to blather with friends and unsuspecting strangers, to even try to find the time to be a slave to onion crushing and filtering 2 or 3 times a week. So, dingbat or not, I'm trying this home remedy, and it doesn't seem to be a problem so far. There's a first time for everything, and maybe it will work. If not, at least the Halloween vampires may keep their distance.JoAnnOn Oct 6, 2007, at 5:15 PM, oueldebouflady wrote:So if this Trudeau guy is who I think it is - the infomercialskind of give it away - he's a convicted felon for various scams andschemes and this book is kind of the latest one.

Let me know how it goes, I am always open to something new.

ExperimentingI think I'll tell the list about an experiment I started yesterday.

I don't know about the polyps because I've never had them, but I am sure it has 'cured' the sinusitis that I had for many years long ago. I used to take all types of medicine to get rid of the sinusitis and its horrible symptoms and nothing would help, until I came across Dr.Siciliano who told me that he had 'cured' someone with a sinusitis problem much worse than mine with the onion juice. I tried it and it worked out for me too. Now I only use it as a preventive treatment when I feel I might be developing a sinusitis again.

You have nothing to lose. Try it.

Wow, so you are saying onion juice CURES the polyps and the sinusitis? This seems pretty unbelievable -- not to be skeptical but Samters is a chronic illness that many of us have had for decades.If this really works and "cures the sinusitis" that would be pretty much a miracle.I haven't had a chance to try it yet, would like to hear some more from others with Samters on how it's working out.Lori in NY

I rarely throw anything away... In fact, if you ask Chris.. I don't

think she does either. When it comes to scents I mix intuitively. I've

been around different scents long enough to understand that sometimes

even scat has it's place in a scent. (Yeah I know... Scat is poop!)

But did you know there can be as many as 750 components that make up the

scent in 1 perfume. So, when you have something that doesn't sit right

with you. You can 1. Let it mature. 2. Add something to it, and then

let it mature. 3. Toss it. What scents are you experimenting

with? It would be interesting to know, and you may get some good

advice from the list too. I find that letting some time pass between

the original mixing and the actual smelling of it can help too.

, thank you so much for your reply, I am a pretty frugal person and

don't toss out a lotJ

I was indeed thinking: why don't I just take the whole lot and put it

together you never know what will happen.

For now I am trying to make something of the following:

Lavender and Palmarosa

Petitgrain, Lime, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Basil

Palmarosa and ylang ylang (way too sweet, this was my throw at something

erotic, ahum glad I am singleJ)

Lavender, Vetiver, Lemon

I got all the amounts the same (ok not very creative.)

Any thoughts would help!
