In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
The recipe was translated from Bald’s Leechbook, a leatherbound Old Enlgish manuscript which is kept in the British Library. This manuscript is “widely thought of as one of the earliest known medical textbooks and contains Anglo-Saxon medical advice and recipes for medicines, salves and treatments.”
Very cool if it’s true.
I have the garlic thing down - garlic stuffed olives and vodka martini’s .
Having had this crap I welcome this!! There is a topical creme that also kills it... made from Oak extract or something.
It sucks!! very painful sores!!
but those were the superstitious, ignorant people of “dark” ages don’t you know...
I had heard that a particular type of honey was good for it as well.
So if we find dead cows with the bile ducts removed, it’s probably not space aliens, just anglo-saxons.
Considering that Obamacare is going to destroy modern medicine, it’s good to know we have a fall back position.
same information / different headline:
1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA ...
finding 1000 year old onions could be problematic
There are anglo-saxon cows??
In 2007 I was told that without heart surgery, I had 6 months to live. Three days later I went into surgery.
I suffered a stroke during surgery and contracted MRSA. Instead of the 6-8 days of hospital stay, I fought for my life for 2 months. The MRSA required 3 additional surgeries.... and minute by minute pain.
I became addicted to Morphine and oxys. Once home, I was bedridden for over a year.
I beat MRSA, most of the stroke damage is gone, my heart is not good, but it is much better than before surgery.
While I won the fight with MRSA, I would have sucked bile from a cows butt if I had thought it would have saved me all of that pain and suffering. ;>)
Now, what animal bile must I drink to stop my prostate cancer??
Very interesting!
Ping.... possibly of interest
April Fool
It probably kills the patient to try it. So, in time, the virus dies too.
“A thousand-year-old medieval remedy for eye infections which was discovered in a manuscript in the British Library has been found to kill the superbug MRSA.”
UNREAL. I worked with someone killed by a Staff Infection (he was in his 30s). He was just having a minor surgery...but never made it back to work. Horrible.
In many areas, DESPITE the TRILLIONS of dollars, the medical profession is simply in the STONE AGE. Given that they have admitted it, over and over (think eggs, butter, etc.), then maybe they should STOP BEING SO ARROGANT and actually look at what is out there, as in this case.
It’s a 1000 years ago - but perhaps ‘someone’ or ‘something’ gave them a hint. Whatever. The BOTTOM LINE is that they documented something that worked and they DID NOT attend John Hopkins back then...but they NAILED IT (apparently).
So how about they ADMIT that they are CLUELESS and seriously look at EVERYTHING that was claimed from the past (including from primitive African and Amazon tribes)...because they otherwise have NO CLUE as to how to deal with these voracious microbes.
What’s not to like?
Garlic is loaded with antibacterial agents.
The compounds in wine responsible for antibacterial activities are succinic, malic, lactic, tartaric, citric, and acetic acid.
And bile from a cow’s stomach strongly inhibits gram positive bacteria.
Between the three it is very likely that they would suppress the vast majority of external eye infections.
