Meaningful and Free Christmas Gifts

Every Christmas you buy gifts and hope that people like them. Then you figure up the bill for Christmas shopping and those presents have put you in the hole for months to come. With the worsening economy for so many, maybe it is time to go for the meaningful present that is free or close to it. Maybe it will reinforce what Christmas was supposed to be about all those long years ago.

For years, the only presents I’ve asked of this family is a clean house for Christmas and a clean mom mobile on my birthday. I’ve never received either.

Sorry, did I miss a ping somewhere?

First: B and C vitamins, garlic or tablets to boost immunity.

This might be very painful. If it is, stop the process and goto (2):

1) Hydrogen peroxide (2% by volume)... pour a cap-full into the offending ear. Let it fizz till it is done fizzing, then dump your ear out in the sink. Repeat until fizzing no longer happens (or is greatly diminished). rinse with clean, warm water.

Hydrogen Peroxide "eats" earwax. The purpose is to clean and disinfect the outer ear, and remove blockage from the ear canal. Only needs to be done thoroughly, once.

2) Get several cloves of fresh, CLEAN (no rot, mold- Pure white) garlic. Use a press or a mortar to crush the garlic to a pulp. Push through a clean coffee filter, or nylon (etc) to extract the juice. Eye-dropper two or three drops into the ear canal, being sure to have your ear flat for several minutes to let the garlic oil penetrate to the ear drum. Repeat 2 or 3 times daily. (essential (internal) garlic oil will work too)

3) A hot (as you can stand) water washcloth/hand cloth (folded) applied over the ear (laying ear up) for many minutes will help the ear to lose swelling and allow it to drain. Repeat as often/long as necessary.

All these depend upon why the ear is hurting... all of the above should help with ear infection (inner and outer), but won't help if the infection is from a tooth/jaw thing... If pain persists, one should see a doctor...

Hmm... No. It's gonna suck.

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died

-American Pie by Don McLean

Thank you so much for this info.

I bought “FECTION” herbal remedy at my health food store and it’s very very very very very effective for cold symptoms, $19 for 75 capsules.

However, the earache tried to come back last night. Appreciate all of your suggestions.
