Home remedies

My father is 74 years young and this morning he was reminiscing about his childhood. He said he was always careful when playing at his grandmothers house. The reason---if he fell and got a cut she would rub the white part of chicken poop on the cut. She saved it in a jar for just such an occasion. I'm guessing it helped it heal faster. His family had a farm and had to make due the best they could. I doubt this treatment would be sanctioned by ObamaCare and she would probably be charged with child abuse by lefty do-gooders. Anyone else have any strange home remedies?

    I had a customer tell me to soak a rag in my own morning urine and hold it on my eye to get rid of a stye. I don't know if it works. It just sounded too gross to even try.

    I've had a patient tell me if you rinse your mouth out with kerosene your toothache will go away!

    For stings like scorpions or wasps chewing tobacco chewed into a wad placed over the wound.

    Also garlic and milk on the wound and then drink the rest.

    Penicillin and it's family has a fairly significant amount of allergic reactions. Broad spectrum antibiotics are the substitute.

    cephalosforin is the latest wonder antibiotic but requires a skin test for allergic reaction first.

    I can't top that one. Best I can do is saliva & dirt for a bee sting.
