With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.
Here is an odd family remedy - when i was little we spent our summers in a log cabin in montana..anyhow, when we were there and we got a splinter in our hand or foot the remedy (if you could't get it out with tweezers/needle) was to put a little piece of bacon fat on it and cover it with a band-aid. the splinter would come out to eat the baconfat! It works!( my husband marvels that none of us got an infection from this rememedy...)
Thats funny Amy...I'm surprised as well.My husbands family comes from Mexico,he is a first generation born American.They have all kinds of crazy cures.In my house we took pills.Our family cures are VASTLY different.Every house I go to has a pot of aloe vera on the porch...this and eggs apperantly can cure about anything.I'm not mocking home remedies...I think they are fascinating...it's just amazing to me that people deal with things in such different ways.
