Repeal Cough Medicine Control Laws!

Personal Experience ^ | 12/30/2004 | Earl B.

I started my asthma-like cough the other night and jumped up and down a few minutes, cough gone. The jumping jars the bad stuff loose. Don't know if that will work with all kinds of coughs but I'd certainly try it.

I prefer peach brandy

My dad swears by blackberry. I say who cares the flavor.

[rellimpank]

--what made it even funnier was a very senior, dignified employee of mine who saw me standing there crying and came over to offer help---

[Old Professer]

Most meth fatalities are among meth makers and/or users, so I would rather they just let them go at it.

[AirForceMom]

That makes sense, breaking it up. Of course with my bad knees I may buy more problems jumping ;) .I haven't been sick in years, knock on wood, but would be happy to try anything when I am.

[Old Professer]

In my opinion, huffing black pepper should work wonders for emphysema patients - sneeze therapy.

Sounds like it's a small community/cult like heroin users. Is that a fair assessment? If so, let the principles of Darwin take over. They won't last long.

Buckley's Mixture
It taste awful and it works

Created in Toronto in 1919, the largest size bottle of Buckley's Mixture is currently the top-selling cough syrup by volume in Canada. Now Buckley's products are being sold around the world! Buckley's Mixture is sugar-free, alcohol-free and based on herbal ingredients like Pine Needle Oil, Canada Balsam, Camphor & Menthol. No wonder it tastes the way it does...

Indications: Effective, non-drowsy relief of coughs, congestion due to colds, minor bronchial irritations, laryngitis, hoarseness, croupy cough and minor irritations due to smoking, dust or air pollution.

Why does it taste so bad?


Because Buckley's Mixture has a herbal base, ingredients such as Canada balsam, menthol, camphor and pine needle oil give Buckley's a taste which most people describe as awful.



Why don't you make it taste better?

Put simply, we can't. We believe the very ingredients that make it taste so bad are the very ingredients that make it work so well. Let's face it though, the sacrifice is well worth the relief it brings, isn't it?

[hushpad]

Thats the reason I agree it should not be sold to a particular age group. Me, I'm Well Over 21, able to buy any booze I might want, but Ny-Quil..Hmmmm.

Honest advertising!

[robertpaulsen]

"People in this country have the absolute right to have serious decisions clouded by a morality that seeks to protect people from themselves."

I think it's very possible that their decision was based more on protecting themselves from other people.

Clouded or not, I believe people should be allowed to live their lives free from immoral activities. I don't understand why a community must be forced to open its doors to strip clubs, prostitution, gambling, pornography and drugs if they choose not to.

No crazier than states that still have "dry" counties.

Yes it is, because this is FEDERAL. You don't have the option of driving to the next county. You also don't have the option of going to a Board of Supervisors meeting and lobbying to have the law changed.

[ProudVet77]

Thanks for the link. I definitely don't want to ever take meth then, I'm a type A+ without it!!
I find the following very interesting
the concern with Meth labs is the fact that the people manufacturing the drugs are non-skilled, and the manufacturing process requires the superheating of chemicals such as propane , Coleman Fuel , ether , and acetone , which result in devastating explosions in residential areas.
So based on this if we gave them a fireproof place to produce it, then there is no problem. Again I'm confused about what the problem is.

[Yaelle]

Oh, that's great! Yeah, if you had shown up ++ on the ecstasy and meth tests too, it might have been harder to explain. LOL.

Bad knees? Have you tried Vitamin C. It works wonders for my injured shoulder. I keep denying doctors their livelihood. Haven't been there in years. I have rememdies for just about everything and if I don't I go to the Internet. Dr. Walt Stoll is one of my favorites. That's where I read about rebounding for emphysema. I don't have a rebounder but theorized that jumping up and down would accomplish the same thing. It did. It was miraculous.

One could also jump on the bed. Kids will love this therapy.

[Annie03]

Yes, I do believe it's the law of the land now.

[kcvl]

None if they only cooked the stuff away from other people and stayed to themselves! They aren't that smart! They can take out their next door neighbors too. By the time they start cooking meth they aren't working with a full deck. I remember a guy who tried to surf the top of his car while his "friend" was driving 70 MPH down an interstate. Yes, he is dead.

[AirForceMom]

How much vitamin C? I should take vitamins, but don't stick with it, but will make it one of my resolutions. My sister even found a doctor AND a pharmacist to make up an herbal remedy for menopause. She swears by it, no hot flashes or anything.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Take Vit C until you reach the saturation point. There are websites that will tell you how to do this. I take the Ester C. It works miracles for controlling the pain in my shoulder. I take one gram whenever it begins to hurt. That last a few hours and then I take another gram.

Many years ago, I had rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor's treatment was only causing more harm than good. I turned to Adele Davis' therapy of Vitamin C, Vitamin E and pantothenic acid. It worked. I took Vitamin C until the pain went away.

Google, Vitamin C and Pain.

By the way, I'm past menopause age. I never had a hot flash and never took HRT. I took vitamins, including Vitamin E.

I know doctors wouldn't like the fact they weren't able to pump me with drugs but I've never needed them.

I'm plenty motivated to take the Vit C because when my shoulder hurts, I know it's time to take it and I know that if I forget to take calcium for a couple of nights, I'll get leg cramps. Your body tells you.
