The vast majority of illnesses
fall in just a few categories
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.57
and can be treated by
a very few remedies...
00:00:05.60\00:00:09.93
and most people can do
those remedies very well
00:00:09.96\00:00:14.60
We'd like to talk with you
about home remedies and simple
00:00:14.63\00:00:17.58
things that you can do for
the vast majority of ailments.
00:00:17.59\00:00:20.46
I'm Agatha Thrash,
a staff physician from
00:00:20.49\00:00:23.24
Uchee Pines Institute...
00:00:23.27\00:00:24.55
And for the next half an
hour, we'll be talking about
00:00:24.58\00:00:27.35
home remedies.
00:00:27.38\00:00:28.35
Welcome to "Help
Yourself to Health"
00:00:48.60\00:00:50.84
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:50.87\00:00:54.10
and now, here's
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:54.13\00:01:00.23
Sometimes when I tell people
they should apply a home remedy,
00:01:00.26\00:01:04.30
they say, "Oh, I
couldn't DO that. "
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.29
"I'm not a doctor, or I'm not
a nurse and I don't know how. "
00:01:07.32\00:01:11.02
And generally, when I tell
them that it's probably going
00:01:11.05\00:01:14.13
to be about as simple
as making a cup of tea,
00:01:14.16\00:01:16.89
or boiling some
water on the stove...
00:01:16.92\00:01:19.79
Then they think, "Well, it
probably wouldn't do me any good
00:01:19.82\00:01:22.98
if it's that simple,
and neither one of those
00:01:23.01\00:01:26.19
is really
probably right on the mark.
00:01:26.23\00:01:29.13
What we need to know
about home remedies is that
00:01:29.17\00:01:31.73
any well-equipped home can
give you the equipment that
00:01:31.76\00:01:34.74
you need for doing the
home remedies for the most part.
00:01:34.77\00:01:38.09
There are a few things
that you need to have on hand.
00:01:38.12\00:01:41.39
And sometimes there are a few
special routines that you may
00:01:41.42\00:01:46.61
need to learn, but
all of these are simple.
00:01:46.64\00:01:49.49
Most of them can be
explained on a telephone,
00:01:49.52\00:01:52.20
or can be read from a book, and
you can follow them quite well.
00:01:52.23\00:01:55.65
A few illustrations in a
home remedies book can often be
00:01:55.68\00:01:59.20
ALL that you need to
make it so that you can follow
00:01:59.23\00:02:02.32
the remedy quite nicely.
00:02:02.35\00:02:03.78
Now, we'd like to start today
with talking about allergies.
00:02:03.81\00:02:07.49
And since food allergies
represent the great majority
00:02:07.52\00:02:11.78
of the allergies that we have,
00:02:11.81\00:02:13.49
we will start
with a food allergy.
00:02:13.52\00:02:15.58
Now let me just explain
the last statement that I made.
00:02:15.59\00:02:18.31
I said that food allergies
make up the vast majority
00:02:18.34\00:02:22.39
of allergies.
00:02:22.42\00:02:23.39
Well, think of it this way...
00:02:23.40\00:02:24.47
You may say, "Well, I get sick
in the spring and in the fall
00:02:24.50\00:02:27.74
when the pollens are in the air.
00:02:27.77\00:02:29.90
Well that may be... but
during an entire pollen season,
00:02:29.93\00:02:33.25
you may be exposed to as
much as maybe 1 teaspoonful
00:02:33.28\00:02:38.11
of something
floating in the air,
00:02:38.12\00:02:40.03
but at every meal, you're
exposed to cupfuls of food
00:02:40.06\00:02:44.44
and all of those things that
go into the body are considered
00:02:44.48\00:02:47.70
by the body to be
a foreign element,
00:02:47.73\00:02:50.45
and you can
develop an allergy to it.
00:02:50.48\00:02:53.71
Without any question, that
thing that gives us the greatest
00:02:53.74\00:02:57.99
amount of allergenic activity,
is that of dairy products.
00:02:58.02\00:03:02.78
I supposed that's because
many of us were exposed to dairy
00:03:02.81\00:03:06.25
products in
infancy or childhood and
00:03:06.28\00:03:09.14
we developed allergies to these.
00:03:09.15\00:03:11.18
Now I have with
me today, Don Miller,
00:03:11.21\00:03:14.27
who is from Uchee
Pines Institute...
00:03:14.30\00:03:16.82
He is a lifestyle
counselor there and in our
00:03:16.85\00:03:20.21
education department, and
he will talk with you some
00:03:20.24\00:03:22.45
about dairy allergies.
So you can start us off...
00:03:22.48\00:03:25.73
Okay... dairy allergies is
the #1 allergen in the world.
00:03:25.76\00:03:29.92
And Dr. Thrash has
already mentioned that the early
00:03:29.93\00:03:33.05
exposure to dairy milk
will lead to allergies later on.
00:03:33.08\00:03:37.55
And, we find that children
who were exposed as infants
00:03:37.58\00:03:41.26
to dairy milk, have a
far greater likelihood
00:03:41.29\00:03:44.45
of developing
asthma as they get older,
00:03:44.48\00:03:47.63
and things like
eczema as they get older.
00:03:47.66\00:03:49.89
As a matter of fact, these
things have become much more
00:03:49.92\00:03:52.91
prevalent in this
society as years have gone on...
00:03:52.94\00:03:55.77
because of a few things that
have happened in our society.
00:03:55.80\00:03:58.44
One, an infant's immune
system is still developing,
00:03:58.47\00:04:02.75
and the best way to boost
the immune system of an infant,
00:04:02.78\00:04:05.93
is by mother's
milk, not cow's milk.
00:04:05.96\00:04:08.57
And children are being taken
off the breast and onto the cow
00:04:08.60\00:04:13.04
and, therefore, their immune
systems never really develop
00:04:13.07\00:04:15.94
as much as they should,
and they're going to have dairy
00:04:15.97\00:04:18.91
allergies down
through their lives.
00:04:18.94\00:04:20.87
We are the only species
of animal that never really
00:04:20.90\00:04:24.62
weans itself.
00:04:24.65\00:04:25.99
We take dairy products
throughout our lives...
00:04:26.02\00:04:28.62
And most people
have a dairy allergy.
00:04:28.65\00:04:31.10
It is interesting,
the late Dr. Frank Oski,
00:04:31.11\00:04:34.64
wrote a book called,
"Don't Drink Your Milk"
00:04:34.67\00:04:37.32
and in the book, he said
that he had never seen a child
00:04:37.35\00:04:41.04
with an ear infection or
throat infection who had not
00:04:41.05\00:04:44.81
previously drank milk
within the previous 5 days...
00:04:44.84\00:04:49.80
...a very close connection.
00:04:49.83\00:04:51.84
A few years ago, we received
a phone call at Uchee Pines
00:04:51.87\00:04:56.64
by Dr. Calvin Thrash...
00:04:56.65\00:04:58.42
And a woman was
distraught down in Florida.
00:04:58.45\00:05:01.39
"My child... she's been
having earaches, runny nose and
00:05:01.42\00:05:06.14
throat sores...
all for a long time.
00:05:06.17\00:05:08.48
Took her to a pediatrician
and they've got her scheduled
00:05:08.51\00:05:11.45
to have her tonsils taken
out, and her adenoids taken out
00:05:11.48\00:05:15.55
and to have
shunts put in her ears...
00:05:15.58\00:05:17.60
Ohhh... what should I do?"
00:05:17.63\00:05:19.10
And Dr. Calvin, the
sage man that he was...
00:05:19.13\00:05:22.82
He says, "Ma'am, I'm not
even going to ask you whether
00:05:22.86\00:05:27.25
your child is on dairy products
because I know that she is.
00:05:27.29\00:05:30.24
Take her off of
the dairy products. "
00:05:30.27\00:05:32.17
And then he also told
her to give some goldenseal
00:05:32.20\00:05:35.25
and Echinacea, a
few simple things.
00:05:35.28\00:05:37.46
Well, the mother did
that and within a few days,
00:05:37.49\00:05:40.34
the child was
completely cleared up.
00:05:40.35\00:05:42.25
Well, she took her
child back to the pediatrician
00:05:42.28\00:05:44.70
and the pediatrician
examined her and he said...
00:05:44.73\00:05:46.37
"Well, your
daughter is doing fine.
00:05:46.40\00:05:48.66
The medications are working. "
00:05:48.69\00:05:49.88
And the mother says, "We
didn't give her the medications,
00:05:49.89\00:05:52.72
we took her off of
the dairy products. "
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.60
And the doctor says... "Yes,
that would have worked too. "
00:05:54.63\00:05:58.87
Well, the mother was shocked
that she would have taken
00:05:58.90\00:06:00.99
all these parts of
her daughter's body out
00:06:01.02\00:06:03.95
rather than take away
milk, and so she left...
00:06:03.98\00:06:06.22
And now they're
medical missionaries in PNG,
00:06:06.25\00:06:11.12
and doing a wonderful work.
00:06:11.15\00:06:12.25
God knows how to
take care of his children.
00:06:12.28\00:06:14.30
Now, milk allergies are
very, very strong for people who
00:06:14.31\00:06:20.35
have that sensitivity.
00:06:20.38\00:06:21.39
I was staying with a family
in England a couple of years ago
00:06:21.42\00:06:24.64
and the grandson had
a severe dairy allergy.
00:06:24.67\00:06:28.81
And, any BIT of it and he would
have these sinus inflammations
00:06:28.84\00:06:36.30
and all these
allergic reactions.
00:06:36.33\00:06:38.80
Well, he had been off
of dairy for a long time...
00:06:38.83\00:06:41.11
I had finally gotten
him off the dairy and
00:06:41.14\00:06:42.34
one day he walked into the
house... he was sniffing and
00:06:42.35\00:06:44.97
his eyes were a
little bit puffy and he was
00:06:45.00\00:06:46.60
drinking a can of something.
00:06:46.63\00:06:47.71
I said, "Well, son,
what are you drinking there?"
00:06:47.74\00:06:50.79
He said, "Oh,
this is a smoothie. "
00:06:50.82\00:06:53.74
I said, "Oh,
what's in the smoothie?"
00:06:53.77\00:06:55.93
Oh... just good stuff.
00:06:55.96\00:06:57.18
There are no
dairy products in there.
00:06:57.21\00:06:58.34
And I said, "Well,
let me see it anyway. "
00:06:58.37\00:06:59.75
So I looked at the can and
I'm reading the ingredients
00:06:59.78\00:07:01.97
and about the 3rd
ingredient was cream.
00:07:02.00\00:07:05.01
And I said, "Son,
this has cream in it. "
00:07:05.04\00:07:08.07
He said, "Yeah but,
that's okay isn't it?"
00:07:08.10\00:07:10.51
I said, "What do you
think cream comes from?"
00:07:10.54\00:07:12.89
He said, "Well, it
comes from the crop. "
00:07:12.92\00:07:14.48
I said, "What?" I mean,
English accents I can't pick up.
00:07:14.51\00:07:18.13
I said, "It comes from where?"
00:07:18.16\00:07:19.57
He said, "From the crop. "
00:07:19.60\00:07:20.93
And he said, "Remember...
cream of the crop. "
00:07:20.94\00:07:22.63
I said, "No Josh, "cream of
the crop" is just a saying...
00:07:22.66\00:07:26.86
it comes from a cow. "
00:07:26.89\00:07:28.08
And so from that small
ingredient in this can of stuff,
00:07:28.11\00:07:31.74
he had an allergic reaction.
00:07:31.75\00:07:33.11
We need to be away from
the world's #1 food allergy...
00:07:33.14\00:07:36.07
or allergen which
is dairy products...
00:07:36.10\00:07:38.53
and once we are, we're
going to find we're going to be
00:07:38.56\00:07:41.48
far more cleared up
in the nose and the head
00:07:41.51\00:07:43.31
and everywhere else, Dr. Thrash.
00:07:43.32\00:07:44.58
And you know, a lot of
people are suffering from a
00:07:44.61\00:07:47.10
dairy allergy when
they think it's something
00:07:47.11\00:07:48.81
altogether different.
00:07:48.84\00:07:49.83
They think they
have a weak stomach,
00:07:49.87\00:07:51.46
or they think
they have weak lungs,
00:07:51.49\00:07:53.43
or weak sinuses, and it's
really only a dairy allergy.
00:07:53.46\00:07:57.89
Now what do you do if you
already have an exposure to
00:07:57.92\00:08:00.68
to milk and you KNOW
you're sensitive to it.
00:08:00.71\00:08:02.80
Well, there are several
things that you can do...
00:08:02.83\00:08:04.74
You can, of
course, take nettles tea.
00:08:04.75\00:08:07.43
You can take charcoal.
00:08:07.46\00:08:09.08
You can take some
anti-inflammatory things...
00:08:09.11\00:08:11.60
Or you can do hydrotherapy.
00:08:11.63\00:08:13.22
Hydrotherapy is
really quite good.
00:08:13.25\00:08:16.19
And I have with me
today, Valerie Schreiber,
00:08:16.20\00:08:19.87
who is going to talk
with you about some of the
00:08:19.90\00:08:23.21
things that she does
when she has someone who
00:08:23.22\00:08:26.43
has an allergic reaction.
00:08:26.46\00:08:28.47
Valerie... What can you tell us?
00:08:28.50\00:08:31.57
What I'm going to show you
how to do is a treatment that
00:08:31.60\00:08:33.86
you can actually do on yourself,
00:08:33.87\00:08:35.28
and, of course, you can do this
very same thing to someone else
00:08:35.29\00:08:37.89
So I'm going to have
Melissa lie up here as though
00:08:37.90\00:08:40.54
she were in the bed...
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.66
And the first thing that
you want to do is to draw
00:08:42.69\00:08:45.32
the congestion away
from the head because
00:08:45.35\00:08:48.09
here's where the sinuses are...
00:08:48.12\00:08:49.52
here's where all the pain is...
00:08:49.55\00:08:50.75
And many times, you have a
bad headache and stuffed up nose
00:08:50.78\00:08:54.50
and your
cheekbones hurt quite a bit.
00:08:54.53\00:08:57.18
So, you want to do that
by placing their feet in some
00:08:57.21\00:09:01.35
nice hot water, tolerable.
00:09:01.38\00:09:04.17
And so what this does is, it
begins to take the congestion
00:09:04.20\00:09:08.19
...congestion simply
means that there is pooled blood
00:09:08.22\00:09:11.71
in that area of the head, or
congestion lymph fluids as well
00:09:11.72\00:09:16.94
And so you want to release
that and it will pull it on down
00:09:16.97\00:09:20.09
to the feet.
00:09:20.12\00:09:21.19
And then the next
thing you'd want to do is
00:09:21.22\00:09:23.77
get yourself just a
regular, nice thick hand towel
00:09:23.80\00:09:27.00
and you can take this hand
towel, wet it down real good
00:09:27.03\00:09:30.35
in water, wring it out,
put it put it in a plastic bag
00:09:30.38\00:09:33.83
and microwave it if
you have a microwave.
00:09:33.86\00:09:36.36
If you don't have a microwave,
then just put it over a pot
00:09:36.39\00:09:40.02
and just boil it down into a
pot till where it's real nice
00:09:40.05\00:09:42.63
and hot... or sometimes
your own faucet hot water
00:09:42.66\00:09:45.33
is hot enough.
00:09:45.36\00:09:47.32
Then you can take this hot pack
00:09:47.35\00:09:51.43
and you can wrap
it in another towel,
00:09:51.44\00:09:53.88
because you don't
want it to burn your face,
00:09:53.91\00:09:55.96
and then just put it
right over top of your head...
00:09:55.99\00:09:59.59
leave it so that your
nose... you can breathe.
00:09:59.62\00:10:03.12
And when you're doing this
for yourself, you'll probably
00:10:03.15\00:10:04.99
want to do this for...
oh, 20 minutes to a half hour
00:10:05.02\00:10:08.71
and you can, if you
have a heating pad...
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.77
You can lay a heating pad over
this and it will keep it hot
00:10:10.80\00:10:13.52
for that long and you
won't need to exchange it.
00:10:13.55\00:10:16.23
Most of the time,
this will do the trick.
00:10:16.26\00:10:18.94
However, there's another
treatment that you can do
00:10:18.97\00:10:21.97
that is equally as nice.
00:10:22.00\00:10:23.42
You can get
yourself a bowl like this...
00:10:23.45\00:10:27.57
fill it with hot
water and then have yourself
00:10:27.60\00:10:29.77
another bowl that you
can finish with cold water
00:10:29.80\00:10:33.62
because usually we
finish our treatments with cold.
00:10:33.65\00:10:35.49
However, sometimes in
sinuses, they're very delicate
00:10:35.52\00:10:38.77
and they don't
like anything cold.
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.39
So you can fill
this with cold water,
00:10:40.42\00:10:42.47
and then you would
just... and I'll stand side too
00:10:42.50\00:10:45.92
so you can see how to do this...
00:10:45.95\00:10:47.31
so that you can
continue to breathe
00:10:47.34\00:10:48.70
You put your mouth over
the edge of the bowl like so.
00:10:48.73\00:10:53.55
And then duck your head
down into the bowl of water
00:10:53.58\00:10:58.37
...just like this.
00:10:58.40\00:11:02.48
And you can hold it there
for maybe up to 20 minutes.
00:11:02.51\00:11:05.88
And I tell you, it no sooner
gets in the water, or this
00:11:05.91\00:11:09.09
pack no sooner gets on the head,
00:11:09.12\00:11:11.66
and you start to feel
that WONDERFUL RELIEF...
00:11:11.69\00:11:15.56
especially when
you have that headache
00:11:15.59\00:11:16.97
And pretty soon, the
sinuses begin to drain back
00:11:17.00\00:11:19.77
in your throat and
you can feel everything
00:11:19.80\00:11:21.31
starting to release.
00:11:21.32\00:11:23.23
Thank you, Dr. Agatha.
00:11:23.26\00:11:24.23
Oh, you're very welcome...
00:11:24.24\00:11:25.21
And I think the
treatment for acute sinusitis
00:11:25.22\00:11:29.88
is one of the most
welcome treatments that we have
00:11:29.91\00:11:32.94
because the person is aching
from the lower part of the face
00:11:32.97\00:11:37.37
right on up to
the top of the head.
00:11:37.40\00:11:39.09
And so we are always
grateful that we have that.
00:11:39.12\00:11:42.46
I have found, also,
that for sinus problems,
00:11:42.49\00:11:45.73
not only a hot foot
bath, but also a foot RUB
00:11:45.76\00:11:49.24
can be very helpful.
00:11:49.27\00:11:50.64
Now another form of allergy...
not every case of asthma
00:11:50.67\00:11:55.08
is caused by allergy
but, for the most part,
00:11:55.11\00:11:57.80
asthma is an allergic reaction.
00:11:57.83\00:12:01.93
And, I'd like us to discuss
some things about asthma.
00:12:01.96\00:12:06.33
The person who has
asthma will often feel that
00:12:06.36\00:12:10.86
they're helpless against it.
00:12:10.89\00:12:12.42
They simply can't breathe.
00:12:12.45\00:12:13.78
And they get to thinking,
"Well, for sure I'm going to
00:12:13.81\00:12:18.31
have a serious problem and
I might die with this attack
00:12:18.34\00:12:22.28
of the asthma. "
00:12:22.31\00:12:23.28
But actually, there are a number
of things that they can do
00:12:23.29\00:12:26.72
for themselves that
can be quite helpful.
00:12:26.75\00:12:29.16
And one thing is simply
to make a fist like this...
00:12:29.19\00:12:32.34
and leave a tiny, little
hole right here where the
00:12:32.37\00:12:36.25
index finger makes
a curl like this...
00:12:36.28\00:12:39.14
and then you just
hold that up to the mouth
00:12:39.17\00:12:41.92
and blow and it's...
00:12:41.93\00:12:45.91
...they blow their breath out
through that tiny, little hole.
00:12:45.92\00:12:50.12
Now the pressure between
the lips and the diaphragm
00:12:50.15\00:12:54.57
causes the lungs to
sort of dilate in this way
00:12:54.58\00:12:58.87
and that dilation
makes them able to breathe
00:12:58.90\00:13:01.87
better right away.
00:13:01.90\00:13:03.13
So the person who might
be beginning to get a little
00:13:03.16\00:13:06.05
anxiety, or might begin to
feel this helplessness and being
00:13:06.08\00:13:10.50
borne down a stream
that they cannot stop...
00:13:10.53\00:13:12.79
They will often feel immediately
that they are being helped
00:13:12.82\00:13:16.10
and that all is
not lost to them.
00:13:16.13\00:13:19.38
Then, of course, there are some
variety of other things that
00:13:19.41\00:13:23.07
they can do for asthma.
00:13:23.10\00:13:24.21
And my helpers, Don
Miller and Valerie Schreiber
00:13:24.24\00:13:27.78
will talk with you about some
of these things now.. Don Miller
00:13:27.81\00:13:31.07
Okay, the first thing, I
just want to explain one thing
00:13:31.10\00:13:33.47
about asthma because
it's really a bad actor
00:13:33.50\00:13:36.13
We have a thing
called "intrinsic asthma"
00:13:36.16\00:13:39.33
and "extrinsic
asthma"... sorry about that.
00:13:39.36\00:13:43.88
Intrinsic means... basically
we don't know where the thing
00:13:43.91\00:13:46.80
is coming from.
00:13:46.83\00:13:47.80
We have no idea.
00:13:47.81\00:13:48.87
We have nothing that we
can say eliminate this and we
00:13:48.90\00:13:51.67
won't have the asthma.
00:13:51.68\00:13:52.71
Now normally, we
don't look close enough
00:13:52.74\00:13:55.22
because it usually is something
still in our environment
00:13:55.25\00:13:58.29
but the intrinsic basically
begins after the age of 30
00:13:58.32\00:14:01.61
is the most
serious type of asthma,
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.62
and we just have to keep
looking for the smoking gun.
00:14:03.65\00:14:07.45
Extrinsic means basically it's
caused by something out there.
00:14:07.48\00:14:11.19
We've already
mentioned the dairy allergy...
00:14:11.22\00:14:13.23
which is the #1 allergy that's
going to cause your asthma.
00:14:13.26\00:14:16.10
It could be dust, mold, mildew.
00:14:16.13\00:14:17.98
It could be the perfume
on your 1st grade teacher.
00:14:17.99\00:14:20.82
It could be something
out there, it usually begins
00:14:20.85\00:14:23.63
in childhood... it goes from
there, it's seasonal after that
00:14:23.66\00:14:27.49
It's episodic... it's because
sometimes you get into the
00:14:27.52\00:14:30.86
situation and sometimes
it can be brought on by
00:14:30.89\00:14:33.14
an emotional situation.
00:14:33.15\00:14:36.80
But intrinsic and
extrinsic means basically
00:14:36.83\00:14:39.61
sometimes we know
where it comes from
00:14:39.64\00:14:41.23
and sometimes we don't.
00:14:41.26\00:14:42.33
But when we DO know
where it comes from,
00:14:42.36\00:14:44.27
eliminate those things and
we might eliminate the asthma.
00:14:44.30\00:14:47.02
So that's what those
two things are, Dr. Thrash.
00:14:47.05\00:14:49.39
That's very good...
intrinsic and extrinsic are
00:14:49.42\00:14:51.93
the two
commonest forms of asthma.
00:14:51.96\00:14:55.98
In fact, that encompasses
almost all cases of asthma.
00:14:56.01\00:14:59.50
Now, there are a large
variety of treatments for asthma
00:14:59.53\00:15:06.30
and Valerie Schreiber is
going to talk with us about
00:15:06.33\00:15:09.39
another aspect of
the treatment of asthma.
00:15:09.42\00:15:12.49
Well, we find at Uchee
Pines that hydrotherapy is
00:15:12.52\00:15:15.49
probably one of the very best
treatments besides restricting
00:15:15.52\00:15:18.77
the diet that we can do...
00:15:18.80\00:15:20.43
And so we do, on our patients,
hot and cold on the chest
00:15:20.46\00:15:23.76
which we do with
towels and compresses
00:15:23.79\00:15:27.07
But I'm going to show you
one that we use in the evening
00:15:27.10\00:15:29.88
and can be used
throughout the day as well...
00:15:29.89\00:15:32.69
and especially with children...
00:15:32.72\00:15:33.90
You know how, when
nighttime comes on,
00:15:33.93\00:15:36.01
and one of the things
that happens with the bronchi,
00:15:36.04\00:15:37.91
is they begin to constrict
and they can have another attack
00:15:37.94\00:15:40.77
So we do a treatment that
we do a compress on the chest
00:15:40.80\00:15:45.55
and I want to
show moms at home...
00:15:45.58\00:15:47.50
This is a nice way to do it.
00:15:47.53\00:15:49.16
If you have everything
already in a little bag,
00:15:49.19\00:15:52.35
like I have a ziplock bag,
00:15:52.38\00:15:53.84
And, if you notice
on here, it will say...
00:15:53.87\00:15:55.79
"Heat compress for chest"
and then it will even tell you
00:15:55.82\00:15:59.13
what it's for, colds and bronchi
and asthma, flu and so forth.
00:15:59.16\00:16:02.94
And then I write at the
bottom, it tells you exactly
00:16:02.97\00:16:05.16
what you're supposed to do.
00:16:05.19\00:16:06.23
So that when an emergency
comes, you don't have to run
00:16:06.26\00:16:09.00
around the house looking for the
book to figure out how to do it
00:16:09.01\00:16:11.79
You have your whole
little compress all together
00:16:12.46\00:16:16.29
and you can just pull it
out and your directions are
00:16:16.88\00:16:19.16
right there and you'll
know exactly what to do.
00:16:19.19\00:16:21.12
So this is what we do.
00:16:21.15\00:16:22.95
And I teach moms how
to do this all the time...
00:16:22.98\00:16:25.79
and they tell me
how effective this is...
00:16:25.80\00:16:27.80
especially for their children.
00:16:27.83\00:16:29.78
First, you would you'd
get one of the children's
00:16:29.81\00:16:32.82
T- shirts or dad's
T-shirts if it's an adult,
00:16:32.85\00:16:35.68
and you would take
this T- shirt and you'd
00:16:35.71\00:16:37.43
put it down in cold water, wring
it out as tight as you can.
00:16:37.46\00:16:40.58
Now you want to work
very quickly in this.
00:16:40.61\00:16:42.57
And you would go ahead
and put this on your child
00:16:42.60\00:16:49.64
Then you would get
yourself a garbage bag
00:16:49.67\00:16:53.85
and you just kind of
cut out the neck hole
00:16:53.86\00:16:56.90
and the arm hole...
00:16:56.93\00:17:03.97
Now this compress is put
00:17:04.00\00:17:06.26
in cold water... there we go
00:17:06.29\00:17:07.26
And then, we go ahead
and we put a turtleneck on
00:17:14.82\00:17:18.75
because we want to close off
ALL air... we want to get that
00:17:18.78\00:17:26.12
over your head...
00:17:26.15\00:17:35.79
and what we do... we have
like a turtleneck around here
00:17:35.82\00:17:38.60
and you notice the
cuffs are tighter here...
00:17:38.63\00:17:40.23
and then we would take and cuff
this inside of her under panties
00:17:40.24\00:17:44.13
and then I suggest, for moms,
to go ahead and put another
00:17:44.16\00:17:46.94
sweater over top of this.
00:17:46.97\00:17:48.47
Now what happens is...
because this is cold water,
00:17:48.50\00:17:51.22
is the T-shirt is in there,
her body temperature will drop
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.25
down a little bit and
then it will begin to heat up.
00:17:54.28\00:17:57.19
And it will heat
up to maybe 100-101
00:17:57.22\00:18:00.70
And it will stay like
that for several hours
00:18:00.73\00:18:02.99
And what that does is,
it keeps the bronchi dilated
00:18:03.02\00:18:06.38
instead of restricting which
happens many times at night.
00:18:06.41\00:18:09.99
And they get a lot
of comfort from this...
00:18:10.02\00:18:11.90
And 9 times out of 10,
they won't have an attack
00:18:11.93\00:18:14.19
This is very good for any
kind of a bronchial congestion
00:18:14.22\00:18:16.93
type of thing.
00:18:16.94\00:18:19.51
Yes, so you can use it not
only for asthma but for any
00:18:19.54\00:18:22.56
kind of bronchitis.
00:18:22.59\00:18:23.56
You can even
use it for pneumonia
00:18:23.57\00:18:25.84
and pneumonia is something
that may follow some of these
00:18:25.87\00:18:31.90
different types
of chest afflictions.
00:18:31.93\00:18:34.79
Now, changing gear
just a little bit...
00:18:34.82\00:18:37.84
Let's go to another
aspect of home remedies
00:18:37.87\00:18:42.12
and that is in the
area of nutrition with
00:18:42.15\00:18:47.51
the antioxidant teas.
00:18:47.54\00:18:49.82
You'll hear a lot today
about green tea and black tea
00:18:49.85\00:18:53.18
being very high in antioxidants.
00:18:53.21\00:18:56.01
And it is true that they are.
00:18:56.04\00:18:58.03
But then the very
highest source of protein
00:18:58.06\00:19:01.97
that we have in the
plant kingdom I suppose is
00:19:02.00\00:19:05.09
probably tobacco leaves.
00:19:05.12\00:19:07.05
But tobacco leaves come with
a lot of other things as well.
00:19:07.08\00:19:11.29
So, we want to know
what we can do other than
00:19:11.32\00:19:15.50
the antioxidant teas.
00:19:15.53\00:19:17.49
And teas that can be
used also for such things as
00:19:17.52\00:19:21.02
weight control...
00:19:21.05\00:19:22.02
We want to know what we can
do for these kinds of things.
00:19:22.03\00:19:25.01
So, Valerie Schreiber
has a number of things here
00:19:25.04\00:19:28.81
that I think will be
self-explanatory when she
00:19:28.84\00:19:32.55
tells you what
they are. Valerie.
00:19:32.58\00:19:34.74
Well to talk once
again about antioxidants...
00:19:34.77\00:19:39.36
The two best families in
the plant kingdom are the
00:19:39.39\00:19:43.72
foods that have high
quantities of vitamin E
00:19:43.75\00:19:47.00
and high
quantities of vitamin C.
00:19:47.03\00:19:49.06
Those are considered
the highest in antioxidants
00:19:49.07\00:19:52.36
which we're hearing a lot
about today... free radicals...
00:19:52.39\00:19:55.54
...they will go and
destroy the free radicals.
00:19:55.57\00:19:58.04
And so your vitamin C
again are in your fruits
00:19:58.07\00:20:00.17
but they're also in your
red peppers and your potatoes
00:20:00.20\00:20:03.19
and there are many
vegetables that have it.
00:20:03.22\00:20:04.99
And your vitamin E...
00:20:05.02\00:20:06.67
those would be in your
nuts and your seeds and your
00:20:06.70\00:20:10.37
whole grains...
00:20:10.40\00:20:11.38
And so, again, if you're
eating a very good diet, rich in
00:20:11.41\00:20:15.88
phytochemicals which
means plant-grown foods that
00:20:15.91\00:20:20.10
God has given us, you will
have sufficient antioxidants
00:20:20.13\00:20:23.87
in your body and you
won't need to run out and take
00:20:23.90\00:20:26.60
supplements...
00:20:26.63\00:20:27.73
Because your body will
work much better with the food.
00:20:27.76\00:20:31.68
Dr. Agatha, would you
want me to talk about weight...
00:20:31.71\00:20:33.96
Yes, why don't we go
ahead and talk about weight.
00:20:33.99\00:20:36.57
Weight control and what
you have that might be helpful
00:20:36.60\00:20:39.18
for people who are trying to
win the battle with the bulge.
00:20:39.21\00:20:43.05
Well, what we have
here also, with the teas...
00:20:43.08\00:20:47.33
and there are many
flavorable teas out here...
00:20:47.36\00:20:51.44
We have one that's
here called "Sunburst C"
00:20:51.47\00:20:53.59
...that happens to be one
of the teas that is high in
00:20:53.62\00:20:56.51
antioxidants but
it's also very flavorable!
00:20:56.54\00:21:00.38
And here's a nice one
that's a peppermint tea.
00:21:00.41\00:21:06.98
This is one of my
favorites, "Wildberry Zinger. "
00:21:07.01\00:21:10.11
And these teas
are quite delicious...
00:21:10.14\00:21:13.33
And what you can put in
the teas is... you can go ahead
00:21:13.34\00:21:16.21
and add a little bit
of Stevia as a sweetener.
00:21:16.24\00:21:18.95
Now this is not going to
cure your weight problem,
00:21:18.96\00:21:22.42
but this is sort of like a
support system for you when
00:21:22.45\00:21:25.53
you begin.
00:21:25.56\00:21:26.53
And the thing that will
support you more after you get
00:21:26.54\00:21:30.12
going in your diet
program, or weight loss program,
00:21:30.15\00:21:32.95
will be as
those pounds come off.
00:21:32.98\00:21:34.85
That will kind of support
you and really spur you on.
00:21:34.88\00:21:37.62
But in the beginning,
when you've been used to
00:21:37.65\00:21:39.24
eating all day long and
drinking sodas and those
00:21:39.25\00:21:42.51
types of things, we like you to
go to some flavorful herb teas
00:21:42.54\00:21:47.61
and let me just show you this...
00:21:47.64\00:21:49.28
there are some dieter
teas out there as well
00:21:49.29\00:21:52.15
because there are some herbs
that play a role in helping to
00:21:52.18\00:21:56.56
possibly suppress your appetite
and do various things to help
00:21:56.57\00:22:02.60
you with your weight
loss and digestion...
00:22:02.61\00:22:04.77
and that type of a thing.
00:22:04.80\00:22:06.43
So, there are a
number of those out there but
00:22:06.46\00:22:09.11
one other thing that I
wanted to suggest to you
00:22:09.14\00:22:12.57
that are trying to lose weight,
00:22:12.60\00:22:14.33
is we have some nice imitation
coffee, I guess you could say.
00:22:14.36\00:22:20.72
There's Pero and Roma and Cafix.
00:22:20.75\00:22:23.29
There's a number
of them out there.
00:22:23.32\00:22:24.87
And, a cup is only 5 calories.
00:22:24.90\00:22:27.48
So when you're try
to stop the evening meal
00:22:27.51\00:22:30.60
and that's what we highly
suggest... for those that are
00:22:30.63\00:22:33.41
trying to lose weight, is to go
on the 2-meal-a-day program...
00:22:33.44\00:22:36.40
nothing in-between...
drink lots of water
00:22:36.43\00:22:42.44
About 10 or 15 minutes before
your meal, drink a glass of
00:22:42.47\00:22:45.51
cold water that will
help suppress you overeating
00:22:45.54\00:22:48.60
And then in the
evening, in place of a meal...
00:22:48.61\00:22:51.00
now this is just to
help you get over the hump,
00:22:51.03\00:22:53.31
...is to make yourself a
nice cup of Pero or Cafix
00:22:53.34\00:22:56.95
And you will find that will
soothe this "wanting to eat"
00:22:56.96\00:23:00.68
in the evening.
00:23:00.71\00:23:02.26
And then eventually,
you'll be able to drop that off
00:23:02.29\00:23:05.31
as you're losing weight
and you'll be so pleased with
00:23:05.34\00:23:07.61
the weight coming off of you,
00:23:07.64\00:23:09.06
you won't even want to do
some of these things anymore.
00:23:09.09\00:23:13.03
These are just
crutches, they are not cures.
00:23:13.06\00:23:15.55
But, as we know about
many things that are on the
00:23:15.56\00:23:21.39
healing edge of things...
00:23:21.42\00:23:23.47
that if we can get
just a little help...
00:23:23.50\00:23:26.73
then the body
will do its own thing
00:23:26.76\00:23:29.06
and we can get over
that major affliction.
00:23:29.07\00:23:33.41
Another problem
that people often have is
00:23:33.44\00:23:36.67
nausea and vomiting.
00:23:36.70\00:23:38.56
Now nausea and vomiting can
usually be handled in the home
00:23:38.59\00:23:41.81
except in VERY small
infants under the age of
00:23:41.84\00:23:44.84
6 months perhaps when a
protracted case of nausea
00:23:44.87\00:23:48.92
and vomiting and especially
if it also has diarrhea.
00:23:48.95\00:23:52.40
This may require
professional help,
00:23:52.43\00:23:54.54
but the average case of
just a little food poisoning
00:23:54.57\00:23:57.16
or a little bit of
nausea in grandmother
00:23:57.19\00:24:01.46
who may have eaten something
that didn't agree with her,
00:24:01.49\00:24:04.10
some of these things
can be rather nicely handled
00:24:04.13\00:24:07.54
by just very simple things
that we can do in the home.
00:24:07.57\00:24:11.73
Now, if a child has a problem
with nausea and vomiting,
00:24:11.76\00:24:19.00
we can use a
paste made of carob,
00:24:19.03\00:24:24.09
or we can use
slurry made of charcoal.
00:24:24.12\00:24:28.05
And, so I've asked Valerie
if she will show you a slurry
00:24:28.08\00:24:31.48
made of charcoal and just how
you would make it up for a child
00:24:31.51\00:24:36.76
Well... here is our charcoal...
00:24:36.79\00:24:40.55
I notice you're taking
that top off very carefully.
00:24:40.58\00:24:42.94
VERY carefully because
charcoal is like powder...
00:24:42.97\00:24:47.00
It will FLY everywhere.
00:24:47.03\00:24:49.29
So you want to be very,
very careful with charcoal.
00:24:49.32\00:24:52.52
You don't move
swiftly at all with it...
00:24:52.55\00:24:55.12
You move very
carefully and slow with it.
00:24:55.15\00:25:02.08
Now I tell you, charcoal
is the most wonderful thing...
00:25:02.11\00:25:04.32
Don't go anywhere in
the world without it.
00:25:04.35\00:25:06.40
Have it with you
everywhere you go.
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.13
Especially if you go
below the border... FOR SURE!
00:25:09.16\00:25:13.54
Or if you go
overseas... anywhere.
00:25:13.57\00:25:15.53
Now charcoal does
come in many forms...
00:25:15.56\00:25:18.24
You can get it in
capsule and tablet form.
00:25:18.27\00:25:21.24
However though, I
caution you in the tablet form,
00:25:21.27\00:25:23.74
look on the bottle...
read... many times now,
00:25:23.77\00:25:26.51
they're starting
to put sugar in it.
00:25:26.54\00:25:28.06
So, I would go to the capsule
for traveling especially...
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.33
If you're flying
or driving in the car,
00:25:31.36\00:25:32.70
you certainly don't want to
open one of these up and mix it,
00:25:32.73\00:25:34.80
unless you stop
the car and get out.
00:25:34.83\00:25:36.70
But in the airplane,
you can't quite do that.
00:25:36.73\00:25:38.57
But this is a
nice way to mix it...
00:25:38.58\00:25:40.91
and you would just get yourself
a teaspoon and you could
00:25:40.94\00:25:44.42
heap it up about
like this for a child,
00:25:44.45\00:25:46.50
I guess, just about like
this and pour it in one of these
00:25:46.53\00:25:50.04
little jelly jars...
00:25:50.07\00:25:51.69
And you notice, I'm
being REAL careful because this
00:25:51.72\00:25:54.15
stuff will fly like crazy.
00:25:54.18\00:25:55.75
So you have one of these
jars that has one of those...
00:25:55.78\00:25:59.00
like canning lids and
when you put it on there,
00:25:59.03\00:26:02.18
you just tighten it real
good and then you can begin
00:26:02.21\00:26:04.78
to shake it like this.
00:26:04.81\00:26:06.30
This is an easy way to do
it moms... for your children.
00:26:06.34\00:26:10.52
And, let me tell you a nice way
to get children to drink this...
00:26:10.55\00:26:16.18
you know, because many times
the children will look at this
00:26:16.21\00:26:18.35
and they will go
"Yuck, I have to drink this. "
00:26:18.38\00:26:20.95
So I tell moms to
put it in grape juice...
00:26:20.98\00:26:24.15
Give the children a
straw and 9 times out of 10,
00:26:24.18\00:26:27.22
they won't even know
that they've had charcoal.
00:26:27.25\00:26:29.32
And they'll just drink
it on down because it will
00:26:29.35\00:26:31.20
taste like grape juice to them,
00:26:31.23\00:26:32.38
and very well hidden in
grape juice for children.
00:26:32.41\00:26:34.64
So, now if it's babies
and you want to give your baby
00:26:34.67\00:26:38.66
charcoal for whatever reason...
00:26:38.69\00:26:40.04
and I know we've done
this for our jaundiced babies.
00:26:40.07\00:26:42.26
You can let this charcoal
settle right down to the bottom
00:26:42.29\00:26:46.28
and then you can see
through it, but it will still
00:26:46.31\00:26:49.34
be kind of smoky color.
00:26:49.37\00:26:51.72
And then, if you want, you
can still strain it through
00:26:51.75\00:26:54.15
a paper towel or some gauze and
put it in a bottle for the baby.
00:26:54.18\00:26:57.12
So, I encourage
you, out there, moms...
00:26:57.79\00:27:00.36
Don't do anywhere
without your charcoal.
00:27:00.39\00:27:02.49
Get yourself charcoal.
00:27:02.50\00:27:04.62
Very good, and I like charcoal
also because when you have
00:27:04.65\00:27:09.42
made it, it's very
good for a sore throat...
00:27:09.43\00:27:12.14
People who have a headache will
often have a headache because
00:27:12.17\00:27:15.64
they have some kind
of toxicity in the body
00:27:15.67\00:27:18.51
and just drinking
down a charcoal slurry
00:27:18.54\00:27:22.06
will be very helpful.
00:27:22.09\00:27:23.25
And, as Valerie said...
you can use both the mixed up
00:27:23.28\00:27:29.19
black part but you can let
it settle and people who have
00:27:29.22\00:27:33.12
very sensitive stomachs,
will not be able to take that
00:27:33.15\00:27:36.18
that's black, so they
can just let it settle,
00:27:36.19\00:27:38.86
and take the fluid that's
on the top and drink that down
00:27:38.89\00:27:43.14
and often that will
give them a lot of benefit
00:27:43.17\00:27:45.80
just from that kind of thing.
00:27:45.83\00:27:48.20
So, we hope these very
simple things will become
00:27:48.23\00:27:50.47
second nature to you
00:27:50.50\00:27:51.78
in your own home.
00:27:51.81\00:27:52.78
