What can Peroxide do for you?

Posted by Mary

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This is an email forward I received.
Over and above these items, you can take peroxide, put it on a clean
white cloth, rub it on any stain on any carpet and it will take the
stain out of the carpet but not the color.
Peroxide:
“I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old
bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My
husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most
doctors don’t tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of
dollars.”
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and
hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it
when I bathe )
No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive
pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (small print says mouth wash and
gargle right on the bottle)
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of “Peroxide” to keep them free
of germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave
a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or
spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to
kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture
of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let
dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes
several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal
with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide an d water and
keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic
system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture
whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to
kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a
tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right
away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten
minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the
50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You
will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages,
but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or
dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it’s not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils,
fungus, or other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of
whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing,
Pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it
and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing
which is why I love it so much for this.

Mother Nature, home remedy books online

Posted by Mary

Today while searching online I found a really great site for health. More specifically alternative medicine and home remedies. The Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies has always been a reference book of mine, because I think it has really great information in it. On the Mother Nature website they have an online bookshelf that includes in full text the Doctor’s Books of Remedies 1 and 2, for Seniors, Women and Children. There are also other books about taking care of yourself, supplements and women’s health. All of the reading is free, and it is a great site to reference when you have a problem that is in one of the books. Here is the link:

Buying School Books

Posted by Mary

While surfing online today I came across a few tips to throw out there. First tip was on saving money. I go to school at a local college and it is time to buy books. The easy way for me to do this is to just use the schools bookstore. But I wanted to spend as little as possible, so here is what I did. I went to www.textbookx.com with the list of books I needed and the authors, editions, etc. I searched for them on textbookx and took the ISBN number from their site to the site www.bigwords.com There I entered the numbers and when I was done it totaled up all the stores I would have to use to get my books the cheapest. My total was 150 for 3 books. Down from 280+ at the school book store. But I still needed another book only sold by the school and that was 70+ through the school so to make it even a little cheaper I searched the schools boards for the books, and found one for $20. So with all of that sounding pretty good for books so far, I am waiting to purchase two to see if I can use older copies which is sometimes allowed, and therefore I will not have to purchase them at all because I have them free. I am also going to check with my local www.yahoo.com groups and freecycles to see if anyone has any of the books I need.

So my savings are looking to be pretty great, from close to $400 down to less than $200. Hope this helps someone who is getting ready for school.

Homeschooling

Posted by Mary
I am in a Yahoo group for preschool homeschooling. I have a two year old son, and a 3 month old. My husband and I are going to try homeschooling out, because we think that it might be best for our kids. There is so much more you can do with their education to help them enjoy it more if you homeschool, is our opinion. So… back to the Yahoo Group. Ok, so today another of the parents posted a link to Barnes and Nobles, they apparently do free online classes on a variety of topics, and homeschooling is one of them. It is more for newbies to the idea, for first years, and others who just want more information. So I wanted to send the link out to any and every one who reads this so they can have a chance to sign up. It starts Sept 5th I believe.
