The first years I ran into pneumonia or similar illnesses every winter and had to have penicillin to get well. Three years ago I began taking Colostrum, and now I get over colds much faster, and I haven´t even been close to needing penicilling. (Colostrum protects people´s immune system in the same way as your own breast milk). <br /><br />I buy Bovine Colostrum from here and take 3 tablets a day: http://www.nzpurehealth.co.nz/<br /><br />If you buy 5 bottles at the same time, they´ll ship it for free.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-52175229865494781102010-11-29T09:03:42.349+05:302010-11-29T09:03:42.349+05:30@ Alex- absolutely.

And it is also a good way to ensure shoes continue to lead a productive life even after retirement.<br /><br />@ Margot- thanks- the photgraph did come out well, didn't it?<br />And yes, we definitely do not have all the answers, so who are we to insist something else doesn't work?<br /><br />@ Dorte- it is called a moojri, and is worn by men in the northern parts of India. Women wear it too, but they are typically more decorative for the women.<br />And I shall try that if you say it works- all our immune systems need a boost.<br /><br />@ Jan- thank you. Means a lot to me.<br /><br />@ Debra- quite. I know I do.<br /><br />@ Amey - so true, Amey. When my kids were babies, I would listen to anyone who had anything to say that make sense. So why I may not have had much faith in a pearl on a black thread (more than anything else, I thougth the kid may strangle himself pulling on it), I was happy enough to try crushing garlic into warm massage oil, because that seemed to make sense.<br /><br />@ Oddyoddyo13- maybe the evil spirits have been hit by them in the past, and don't want that experience repeated?<br /><br />@ Donna- you can do that too for your grandchild.<br /><br />@ Jemi- very often, there is a sound locigal base, which has got list in the superstition surroundign it.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-53191984215623377332010-11-29T07:42:05.011+05:302010-11-29T07:42:05.011+05:30Local superstitions and home remedies are so often...Local superstitions and home remedies are so often built on logic - it never hurts to try!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-28516542488220229632010-11-29T04:59:07.368+05:302010-11-29T04:59:07.368+05:30It can't hurt.

Science has a prominent role to play in our understanding. But neither Western medicine nor science explains everything. I know of too many cases where things happened that cannot be explained in "modern science" ways to think that there are no other kinds of solutions...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-53209044121581167122010-11-28T21:18:55.435+05:302010-11-28T21:18:55.435+05:30It definitely cannot hurt, unless you need the sho...It definitely cannot hurt, unless you need the shoe.
