Hello! One thing that I like
very much about simple remedies
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.78
is their simplicity.
00:00:05.81\00:00:07.52
I like the fact that even
on the telephone I can tell
00:00:07.55\00:00:10.99
a mother what to do for her
child, or a husband what to do
00:00:11.02\00:00:14.41
for his wife and expect
that they will be able to follow
00:00:14.44\00:00:17.42
these instructions
very carefully and get an
00:00:17.45\00:00:21.30
effective result.
00:00:21.33\00:00:22.51
So because of the many things,
the many advantages that simple
00:00:22.54\00:00:27.44
remedies have, we hope
that you will join us for this
00:00:27.47\00:00:30.57
program because we
will be discussing a number
00:00:30.60\00:00:33.37
of simple remedies.
00:00:33.40\00:00:35.19
Welcome to Help
Yourself to Health
00:00:55.12\00:00:57.50
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute,
00:00:57.53\00:01:00.74
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:01:00.77\00:01:03.83
I suppose there are probably
as many remedies as there are
00:01:06.86\00:01:14.96
people who practice
them multiplied by 100,
00:01:14.99\00:01:17.95
because everybody knows
everybody who uses simple
00:01:17.98\00:01:20.70
remedies knows many, so I
would like to show you some
00:01:20.73\00:01:24.26
of the ones that through
the years I have learned and I
00:01:24.29\00:01:27.37
always enjoy learning more
and from time to time somebody
00:01:27.40\00:01:30.83
will tell me a hundred
new remedies and so I have a
00:01:30.86\00:01:34.85
bunch that I would
like to show you here.
00:01:34.88\00:01:36.89
One thing is something that
you should have in any good home
00:01:36.92\00:01:44.22
remedies kit, or home kit for
home remedies, and that's just
00:01:44.25\00:01:48.66
a simple hand mirror.
00:01:48.70\00:01:51.08
Here you can look at
things that you cannot see just
00:01:51.11\00:01:55.75
by looking directly at
it, you can see on the bottom
00:01:55.78\00:01:58.59
of the foot, you can see
on the back, on the bottom,
00:01:58.62\00:02:01.67
on the side, back of the
head, and so everybody needs a
00:02:01.70\00:02:06.76
good hand mirror in
the home remedies kit.
00:02:06.79\00:02:11.00
Now you need also a
number of very simple things,
00:02:11.03\00:02:14.42
some of the oils that we might
call fragrances or essence's,
00:02:14.45\00:02:20.72
some of those are
really quite good.
00:02:20.75\00:02:22.70
One used for headache is
lavender oil, and a little
00:02:22.73\00:02:27.60
cotton pledget wet with
lavender oil and pinned to
00:02:27.63\00:02:32.31
the pillowcase can help a
headache that one goes to bed
00:02:32.34\00:02:36.42
with at night, and some other
oils, one that I like a lot is
00:02:36.45\00:02:41.25
Melissa oil, or also
called citronella, and it has a
00:02:41.28\00:02:47.16
citrus smell, and the way
to use it is to simply wet the
00:02:47.19\00:02:51.85
finger and then put it on
the back behind the ears because
00:02:51.88\00:02:55.97
that's where little insects
tend to enjoy being, and around
00:02:56.00\00:02:59.46
the wrists can be
put in dabs around.
00:02:59.49\00:03:03.55
This is not related to citrus
at all, except that it smells
00:03:03.58\00:03:07.82
like citrus fruit but it's
a little herb called Melissa
00:03:07.85\00:03:13.19
and the oil is
called Melissa oil.
00:03:13.22\00:03:15.91
Then of course there is Aloe
Vera gel and Aloe Vera plants,
00:03:15.94\00:03:20.75
this kind of thing can be
purchased at any health food
00:03:20.78\00:03:25.71
store, this is a gel and as
you can see it is quite gel like
00:03:25.74\00:03:31.27
and this gel can be rubbed
on burns and can be rubbed on
00:03:31.30\00:03:36.21
scrapes and
anything that gets infected,
00:03:36.24\00:03:40.05
that's a very
good way to use that.
00:03:40.08\00:03:43.64
Now this is wintergreen, oil
of wintergreen, it's one of my
00:03:43.67\00:03:47.74
favorite fragrances, I
like very much the smell of
00:03:47.77\00:03:51.83
wintergreen and I use
this a lot in massage oil.
00:03:51.86\00:03:56.26
Wintergreen has a pain reducing
element and if a person has a
00:03:56.29\00:04:01.09
back ache or a hip ache, or
a knee ache and you put this in
00:04:01.12\00:04:05.56
some mineral oil with half
alcohol so it's half alcohol
00:04:05.59\00:04:09.81
half mineral oil and a few
drops of this oil of wintergreen
00:04:09.84\00:04:16.18
that can be so
helpful for any kind of pain,
00:04:16.21\00:04:20.17
I like that for the home
health kit for use in that way.
00:04:20.20\00:04:28.48
Now a lot of people get
that problem that you know about
00:04:28.51\00:04:34.10
called plantar fascitis,
and these little heel cups are
00:04:34.13\00:04:39.84
very nice for that.
00:04:39.87\00:04:40.94
A heel cup what we do is
to put a persons foot right in
00:04:40.97\00:04:47.77
the heel cup and they simply
wear these inside the shoe.
00:04:47.80\00:04:51.18
Now you would think such a
simple remedy could it possibly
00:04:51.21\00:04:54.57
be helpful for the serious
affliction that I have on the
00:04:54.60\00:05:00.13
bottom of my feet, I
don't think such a simple thing
00:05:00.16\00:05:03.27
could help.
00:05:03.30\00:05:04.49
I hear that kind of
statement all the time,
00:05:04.52\00:05:06.36
but I can assure you
that these can be helpful
00:05:06.39\00:05:10.11
but something that I
like probably the very best
00:05:10.14\00:05:13.18
for this kind of affliction
is a cayenne extract and I don't
00:05:13.21\00:05:20.13
have any with me and I
would not smell of it any way
00:05:20.16\00:05:22.73
because it is the red pepper
extract, or cayenne extract
00:05:22.76\00:05:26.94
and it can set your
nasal passages on fire when you
00:05:26.97\00:05:31.95
smell it, so you don't want
to just go around smelling it.
00:05:31.98\00:05:34.68
But if you have plantar fascitis
and it is simply painted on
00:05:34.71\00:05:38.65
the plantar surface
of the sole of the foot,
00:05:38.68\00:05:43.39
and if you do it for six times
a day for six days then you can
00:05:43.42\00:05:49.43
drop down to two times a day
and it often will help you to
00:05:49.46\00:05:53.23
walk comfortably when nothing
else will, so I like that
00:05:53.26\00:05:56.45
very much.
00:05:56.49\00:05:57.46
Now I have another thing
here to show you and that is how
00:05:57.47\00:06:00.68
to make soy milk, I don't
promote any of thee commercial
00:06:00.71\00:06:06.07
soy milks because of the
fact that some of them do have
00:06:06.10\00:06:11.02
substances that you
cannot trust might be the most
00:06:11.05\00:06:15.84
healthful for you.
00:06:15.87\00:06:17.06
So you can purchase these little
soy milk makers and many of them
00:06:17.09\00:06:23.81
work by this process, they
simply have a little mesh affair
00:06:23.84\00:06:32.39
that holds the soy beans,
and I have here a quarter cup
00:06:32.42\00:06:39.12
of soy beans, and that's
the amount that we need to use
00:06:39.15\00:06:42.76
for this kind of equipment.
00:06:42.79\00:06:46.41
This particular one is called
a Soy Toy, it's one of the
00:06:46.44\00:06:50.69
earlier ones and there are
many of these now and you can
00:06:50.72\00:06:55.44
use any of these that
you like, they are very good.
00:06:55.47\00:06:58.78
In fact some are
improved over this one and the
00:06:58.81\00:07:01.47
little soy beans are
the little round beans
00:07:01.50\00:07:05.35
that you are very familiar with.
00:07:05.38\00:07:07.40
You simply put a quarter of
a cup of the soybeans in this
00:07:07.43\00:07:12.02
particular type of equipment,
then you can see that it has
00:07:12.05\00:07:15.72
a blender type of blade
and this is then put in place
00:07:15.75\00:07:23.67
and the bowl of it can be
filled either to the 1300 or
00:07:23.70\00:07:30.22
the 1700 cc position and I
don't think you will be able to
00:07:30.25\00:07:34.78
see it but you can tell that
the inside is stainless steel
00:07:34.81\00:07:38.62
and it had a little marked
off area where one can see the
00:07:38.65\00:07:42.92
place to fill the hopper of
it and very nice, it cleans up
00:07:42.95\00:07:51.42
very easily and I
like this very much.
00:07:51.45\00:07:54.11
Once you have the water in
and you fix this on, it has to
00:07:54.14\00:08:01.26
on in exactly the right
way, sometimes I have loaned my
00:08:01.29\00:08:05.06
little soy milk maker to people
and they put it on with the
00:08:05.09\00:08:08.71
spout out here, that
won't work, it has to go here
00:08:08.74\00:08:12.56
where it has the little
connection as you can see there.
00:08:12.59\00:08:16.23
Then you close it down,
very simply done, plug it in and
00:08:16.26\00:08:22.07
press start and you
are off and running.
00:08:22.10\00:08:25.77
Twenty minutes later or up
to 27 minutes, I think this one
00:08:25.80\00:08:30.28
actually requires 27 minutes
from the time you press start
00:08:30.31\00:08:36.54
until you are pouring up
nice soy milk, it is delicious
00:08:36.57\00:08:41.47
in flavor and it's easy to
flavor up or season in any way
00:08:41.50\00:08:46.99
you would like, you
could put a sweetener with it,
00:08:47.02\00:08:50.36
you can even start with a juice,
don't tell the manufacturer that
00:08:50.39\00:08:54.49
because they don't
recommend that I don't think.
00:08:54.52\00:08:56.51
You can even use rice in it
to make rice milk, that also
00:08:56.54\00:09:01.86
can be flavored up nicely,
you should put a little salt
00:09:01.89\00:09:06.63
in it, usually about a
teaspoon full per quart.
00:09:06.66\00:09:10.81
Now with this kind of
equipment you can make a product
00:09:10.84\00:09:16.57
very good for the bones,
good for the heart, good for the
00:09:16.60\00:09:20.74
arteries, it decelerates
the rate at which people age,
00:09:20.77\00:09:25.77
I like that about it.
00:09:25.80\00:09:26.94
It also helps the eyes, it
preserves our delicate senses
00:09:26.97\00:09:33.24
into advanced old age, so
there are many good things
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.42
about soy, and I'm probably
not even mentioning half of the
00:09:36.45\00:09:39.55
good benefits of soy.
00:09:39.58\00:09:42.01
So I recommend that you make
your own soy milk, so that you
00:09:42.04\00:09:45.41
get the full benefit of the
soy and not just a part of it
00:09:45.44\00:09:49.65
as you might with some
kind of commercial product,
00:09:49.68\00:09:52.79
or even get a product that
isn't healthful at all, that is
00:09:52.82\00:09:57.83
actually counter
productive for the health.
00:09:57.86\00:10:01.03
Now I have asked Rhonda Clark
to join me, Rhonda welcome!
00:10:01.07\00:10:06.96
- Thank you! - Rhonda
is one of my colleagues
00:10:06.99\00:10:09.12
at Uchee Pines and works with
me in lecturing but also works
00:10:09.15\00:10:13.24
as a counselor with our
other counseling staff there at
00:10:13.27\00:10:17.83
Uchee Pines, so I am so
glad you can be with me today
00:10:17.86\00:10:21.28
and I would like to know what
you are going to tell people.
00:10:21.31\00:10:24.43
- Well I wanted to share today
a special hydrotherapy type of
00:10:24.46\00:10:28.33
home remedy type
of treatment. - Good!
00:10:28.36\00:10:29.97
- It's called a salt glow,
and these are becoming popular
00:10:30.00\00:10:33.40
in beauty salons, health spas,
as an exfoliating treatment
00:10:33.43\00:10:37.75
which makes the skin very
soft and smooth, but there is
00:10:37.78\00:10:41.34
very healthful properties
to a salt glow as well.
00:10:41.37\00:10:44.34
- Yes, I like the salt glow
for just toning up if you feel a
00:10:44.37\00:10:48.49
little bit tired or under
the weather, if you know someone
00:10:48.52\00:10:53.01
who knows how to do a
salt glow, just feel marvelous
00:10:53.04\00:10:56.65
it boosts the immune system
you get over the cold or the
00:10:56.68\00:11:00.53
flu a lot quicker
and I like it a lot.
00:11:00.56\00:11:03.25
I've also seen it used
for intractable epilepsy,
00:11:03.28\00:11:07.69
the kind where the person
has a seizure and then before
00:11:07.72\00:11:11.36
they can fully awaken from that
one, and then they get another
00:11:11.39\00:11:14.56
seizure, and another seizure.
00:11:14.59\00:11:16.72
In a field seizure one time
00:11:16.75\00:11:17.84
when there no physician
available anywhere, no drugs,
00:11:17.88\00:11:20.57
nothing available
anywhere, we had such a patient,
00:11:20.60\00:11:24.46
so we put the patient in a
bath tub and gave a salt glow
00:11:24.49\00:11:29.06
and the patient stopped seizing
and we were just thanking
00:11:29.09\00:11:33.03
the Lord, of course we had a
team of people in the next room
00:11:33.06\00:11:36.65
praying for the Lord's blessing
and I'm sure that the Lord
00:11:36.68\00:11:39.44
gave us His special blessing,
and assisted our simple
00:11:39.47\00:11:43.04
treatment with success.
00:11:43.07\00:11:44.61
- Wow! You know I know that
another group of patients that
00:11:44.64\00:11:49.05
often can't take a regular
hydrotherapy type of treatment
00:11:49.08\00:11:52.48
especially a hot treatment,
or diabetic patients, sometimes
00:11:52.51\00:11:55.44
because they've lost the
sensation in their extremities
00:11:55.47\00:11:58.66
and so we worry about burning
them but also just metabolically
00:11:58.69\00:12:02.16
sometimes the heating
treatments that we give at the
00:12:02.19\00:12:03.67
Lifestyle Center increase
the metabolism to a point that
00:12:03.70\00:12:06.45
it's difficult for the diabetic
body to keep up with that.
00:12:06.48\00:12:09.27
But the salt glow is a wonderful
way to increase the circulation
00:12:09.30\00:12:12.61
and in helping the diabetic
patient who can't take a
00:12:12.64\00:12:15.44
regular heating
treatment. - Yes!
00:12:15.47\00:12:17.39
- So I've invited Miss Arianna
Hartsfield to come up and
00:12:17.42\00:12:20.32
if she'll come and join us
today she's going to be our
00:12:20.35\00:12:22.78
demonstratee, and let me
demonstrate this wonderful
00:12:22.81\00:12:26.51
treatment known as a salt glow.
00:12:26.54\00:12:28.14
The type of salt that you
use is a salt glow is important,
00:12:28.17\00:12:32.34
table salt will be to fine
and will not give enough of a
00:12:32.37\00:12:37.40
rub or friction to the skin
and you certainly don't want
00:12:37.43\00:12:40.75
to use the large rock salt
crystals like people have made
00:12:40.78\00:12:44.03
ice cream with or used
clear snow and ice off of their
00:12:44.06\00:12:47.94
driveway, that
would be to course.
00:12:47.97\00:12:50.01
What we recommend is known
as kosher salt or course salt
00:12:50.04\00:12:54.49
and this can be obtained
really any place where people do
00:12:54.52\00:12:57.84
canning, pickling, those
places sell this type of salt.
00:12:57.87\00:13:01.36
It's a nice medium sized
grain of salt, and you'll notice
00:13:01.39\00:13:05.80
as I pour it here in the
basin it has a nice large
00:13:05.83\00:13:10.45
crystal size to it, each chunk
of the salt is a little big
00:13:10.48\00:13:15.15
more than what you would
see that you would sprinkle on
00:13:15.18\00:13:17.82
your food. - Yes,
table salt melts and
00:13:17.85\00:13:21.27
dissolves and pretty soon
you have no salt you just have
00:13:21.30\00:13:25.68
a solution. - A
little saline glow!
00:13:25.71\00:13:28.42
And I've not put as much
in the bowl here as you would
00:13:28.45\00:13:32.67
if you would be going to
be doing a salt glow on your
00:13:32.70\00:13:34.07
entire body, and that's
the intent of the treatment,
00:13:34.10\00:13:36.72
beginning with the extremities
and working towards the
00:13:36.75\00:13:39.17
center of the body, towards
the heart to begin with the
00:13:39.20\00:13:42.50
rubbing of this salt on to
the body and so you might need a
00:13:42.53\00:13:46.64
much larger amount than what
I've put in the bowl for our
00:13:46.67\00:13:48.65
demonstration.
00:13:48.68\00:13:49.78
You do want to wet this
salt a bit, to have it just wet
00:13:49.81\00:13:54.16
enough to stick to the skin
but you don't want it soupy,
00:13:54.19\00:13:57.69
there really will take very
little water to moisten this
00:13:57.72\00:14:01.11
bit of salt here for our
treatment, just a couple little
00:14:01.14\00:14:03.97
drops of water may be
enough, we'll see here.
00:14:04.00\00:14:06.69
And as you mix it with your
fingers it actually helps you
00:14:06.72\00:14:09.61
get a better feeling if
you have the right consistency
00:14:09.64\00:14:13.29
and this looks, well maybe
put a little bit more water
00:14:13.32\00:14:16.74
just enough so that
it will stick without...
00:14:16.77\00:14:20.79
you don't want it to wet,
you want to keep those salt
00:14:20.83\00:14:24.17
granules as intact as you
can because they are what's
00:14:24.20\00:14:27.48
providing the friction, which
is the beneficial component
00:14:27.51\00:14:30.41
of this treatment and Arianna
if you would raise up a sleeve
00:14:30.44\00:14:34.63
for me we will demonstrate
on your arm here the technique.
00:14:34.66\00:14:38.28
I will put a little towel here
under us so we try not to get
00:14:38.31\00:14:43.25
to much salt
all over everything,
00:14:43.28\00:14:45.70
you want to lay your arm a
little bit more over on the
00:14:45.73\00:14:49.98
towel, there we go, and
let's turn your hand the
00:14:50.01\00:14:52.32
other way, I think we can see
it here on the skin a little bit
00:14:52.35\00:14:55.29
better, you want to take about
a teaspoonful, oh thank you
00:14:55.32\00:14:58.23
Dr. Thrash, a teaspoon
full or a little bit more
00:14:58.26\00:15:02.69
of the salt into your hand
to begin the friction and it
00:15:02.72\00:15:08.35
goes on the skin and
you rub rather briskly.
00:15:08.38\00:15:10.21
- Does that feel good? -
It might sting just a little
00:15:10.24\00:15:13.47
actually and you want
to get more as you run out
00:15:13.50\00:15:16.68
you just get a little more,
and when you are doing this on
00:15:16.71\00:15:20.19
yourself in a circular motion
like this might be good but
00:15:20.22\00:15:23.25
you want to try to get a
nice red glow to the skin,
00:15:23.28\00:15:25.97
we'll do one more time here.
- And you need to watch the
00:15:26.00\00:15:32.64
patient and make sure that
you haven't taken off the top
00:15:32.67\00:15:35.79
layer of skin. - You
can see how her skin is
00:15:35.82\00:15:38.99
pinking up very
nicely, it's looking quite pink
00:15:39.02\00:15:41.89
and this is the
intent of the treatment,
00:15:41.98\00:15:43.29
it's to be very warming very
stimulating and when you are
00:15:43.32\00:15:46.92
doing in on yourself,
again you start with your arms
00:15:46.95\00:15:48.37
working up, get your chest and
abdomen, if you need any help
00:15:48.40\00:15:52.22
getting your back, you can
put some of the salt solution
00:15:52.25\00:15:54.80
in a towel and then scrape along
your back, and I guess we can
00:15:54.83\00:15:57.53
start brushing this off,
or I also brought this along
00:15:57.56\00:16:01.78
a back brush.
00:16:01.81\00:16:03.71
This is something that
you could use to just put down
00:16:03.74\00:16:06.83
into the salt solution itself
and really get it full of the
00:16:06.86\00:16:10.69
salt and then can do
your own back with this.
00:16:10.72\00:16:13.59
The ending of the treatment
is to just rinse off in a
00:16:13.62\00:16:17.57
tepid shower and get all
of the salt off of your skin
00:16:17.60\00:16:20.92
and you don't want to leave
any of that on your skin at all
00:16:20.95\00:16:23.21
so rinse off well and
Miss Hartsfield will be
00:16:23.24\00:16:26.31
rinsing off here as she
finishes helping me and then
00:16:26.34\00:16:30.41
rest, it's nice to rest
for a bit after the treatment,
00:16:30.44\00:16:32.85
if you can, or you might
just have to go on to work so
00:16:32.88\00:16:35.65
if you take it to yourself
to help liven up, know that
00:16:35.68\00:16:39.02
it might make you a
little sweatier to stimulate you
00:16:39.05\00:16:41.55
enough, don't let
that surprise you.
00:16:41.58\00:16:43.67
- It is a stimulatory treatment
but then after awhile it is
00:16:43.70\00:16:49.08
relaxing so if you go to work
you might fall asleep over your
00:16:49.11\00:16:52.48
keyboard.
00:16:52.51\00:16:53.56
Thank you so much
Rhonda! - You are so welcome!
00:16:53.59\00:16:57.12
I appreciate your showing
the salt glow it's an important
00:16:57.15\00:16:59.07
treatment, and I
like it very much.
00:16:59.11\00:17:00.80
Now I'd like to have
Arianna help me with a couple of
00:17:00.83\00:17:06.06
other treatments, one is
this lumbar roll which is for
00:17:06.09\00:17:13.89
a very large person,
but it can be very helpful.
00:17:13.92\00:17:18.77
If you will hold your arms
up I will just put it around and
00:17:18.81\00:17:23.32
it can be just... Maybe
I will just go ahead and
00:17:23.35\00:17:26.35
put it all the way around and
hold that for me right there,
00:17:26.38\00:17:30.95
and I'll just put this
right here and then around to
00:17:30.98\00:17:36.63
this side and the lumbar
support should be quite tight
00:17:36.66\00:17:44.59
as you can see here, firmly
tight, and that is quite helpful
00:17:44.62\00:17:49.28
and people who are very active
who lift things or who are
00:17:49.31\00:17:54.35
lying in bed a long time
and they begin to get some
00:17:54.38\00:17:58.79
difficulty
because of lying in bed,
00:17:58.82\00:18:01.49
the low back begins to hurt.
00:18:01.52\00:18:03.22
For these individuals if
they wear one of these it can be
00:18:03.25\00:18:07.03
very helpful.
00:18:07.06\00:18:08.03
People who have to lye in a
hospital bed with the knees up,
00:18:08.04\00:18:12.50
Arianna I need you for
another thing so don't go away.
00:18:12.53\00:18:15.77
They have to be with their
knees up for a long time and
00:18:15.80\00:18:20.29
the bed is propped up, sometimes
they will get a low back pain
00:18:20.32\00:18:23.84
as well.
00:18:23.87\00:18:24.84
Now Arianna I would like to
show this little device here
00:18:24.85\00:18:30.25
while this is a massage
assistant and it looks as if
00:18:30.28\00:18:36.18
it's a little spider, it's
a little thing made of wood
00:18:36.21\00:18:40.60
so if you will turn
your back this is so nice.
00:18:40.63\00:18:45.63
Does that feel good Arianna?
00:18:45.66\00:18:46.82
Isn't that nice, this just
rubs across sore muscles and
00:18:46.85\00:18:52.75
by the way massage
strokes are more for muscle than
00:18:52.78\00:18:57.18
they are for bones so
don't get to vigorous with the
00:18:57.21\00:19:01.31
massage stroke that
comes across a bone like that.
00:19:01.34\00:19:05.16
You have to be very careful
not to do that but to stay
00:19:05.19\00:19:08.69
with the muscles and a person
who is not a very big person
00:19:08.72\00:19:12.84
as Arianna is not, they
are not very hefty coming down
00:19:12.87\00:19:19.70
across the vertebral
spines will not be pleasant for
00:19:19.73\00:19:24.20
such a person so you should
go to one side or the other but
00:19:24.23\00:19:27.44
not straight down
the spine like this.
00:19:27.47\00:19:29.93
Of course the muscles that
are down here and the muscles
00:19:29.96\00:19:33.40
that are on the arms,
these can be nicely worked with
00:19:33.43\00:19:37.94
with a very simple
thing such as this.
00:19:37.97\00:19:41.26
Thank you so much Arianna, I
appreciate your being my helper.
00:19:41.29\00:19:45.91
Now another thing that I like
to see in the home health kit
00:19:45.94\00:19:51.75
is an eye wash cup.
00:19:51.78\00:19:54.26
These are available from
pharmacies they just have
00:19:54.29\00:19:57.09
a little depression in them
such as this and this depression
00:19:57.12\00:20:01.24
can hold several kinds of
fluid, saline is one kind of
00:20:01.27\00:20:07.79
fluid that this holds,
and the saline is made up with
00:20:07.82\00:20:11.27
one teaspoon of salt to
one level pint of water.
00:20:11.30\00:20:17.04
Now a pint is two cups or
one half quart, so either way,
00:20:17.07\00:20:23.81
any way you can measure
one teaspoon, two cups of water
00:20:23.84\00:20:27.85
and that gives saline.
00:20:27.88\00:20:29.79
Fill the cup with the saline
then it is put right against
00:20:29.82\00:20:33.07
the eye in this fashion
and while one is bending over
00:20:33.10\00:20:36.90
or up like this, one can
bat the eyes multiple times
00:20:36.93\00:20:41.62
and that of course will
cause the eye to get washed out,
00:20:41.65\00:20:46.91
it's very good in cases of
conjunctivitis, or in cases
00:20:46.94\00:20:52.34
of something getting
into the eye, so that can be
00:20:52.37\00:20:56.18
most helpful.
00:20:56.21\00:20:57.32
Now for women I recommend
that they get some little device
00:20:57.35\00:21:02.70
such as this, a little bar
bell for women and I have two
00:21:02.73\00:21:08.82
of these right at my desk
and no matter what I am doing
00:21:08.85\00:21:14.77
at my desk if I am only using
one hand then I use the other
00:21:14.80\00:21:20.43
hand if I don't have to
concentrate to much with
00:21:20.46\00:21:23.76
this hand, say with writing,
I use this just to work my hands
00:21:23.79\00:21:30.93
up and down, but I
really like to use both of them.
00:21:30.96\00:21:34.05
So if I am sitting talking with
someone on the speaker phone
00:21:34.08\00:21:39.25
then I can be doing all sorts
of things with dumb bells and
00:21:39.28\00:21:44.65
they don't have to know
that I am doing my exercises
00:21:44.68\00:21:48.63
while I am also
talking on the telephone.
00:21:48.66\00:21:50.68
That can be very nice, and
of course all sorts of curls
00:21:50.71\00:21:53.79
can be done in this way so
just over the head or around
00:21:53.82\00:21:58.31
behind the back, any way
that you can find to move the
00:21:58.34\00:22:03.70
dumb bells, this
exercises different muscle sets.
00:22:03.73\00:22:07.68
Now another thing that I like
to have at my desk for long time
00:22:07.71\00:22:13.03
simple things that I do
that don't require to much
00:22:13.06\00:22:17.76
concentration is work with
this, so you just work with
00:22:17.79\00:22:22.34
this a bit and again this
can be stretched in any one of
00:22:22.37\00:22:29.69
many different ways.
00:22:29.72\00:22:30.95
You can stretch it up and
do it on diagonals and this way
00:22:30.98\00:22:35.87
you can put it over the back,
and of course it can be done
00:22:35.90\00:22:38.69
this way, you can do it
fast or slow, and when you do it
00:22:38.72\00:22:45.20
fast you get a different
kind of reaction than you do
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.07
when you do it slowly.
00:22:48.10\00:22:49.86
So in all manner of ways
you can do this, even at times
00:22:49.89\00:22:54.61
I have had to watch
videos or do some kind of work
00:22:54.64\00:23:00.34
of that nature so I just hook
it over my toes and stretch it
00:23:00.37\00:23:05.75
out in that way, one after
the other, it's easy to find
00:23:05.78\00:23:12.93
different ways and different
muscle groups that can be
00:23:12.96\00:23:16.63
exercised with
this kind of thing.
00:23:16.66\00:23:19.46
Another kind of exerciser
is this kind of exerciser,
00:23:19.49\00:23:24.14
I'm going to tell you although
I don't expect you really to
00:23:24.17\00:23:29.14
believe me that working out
with a little hand exerciser
00:23:29.17\00:23:35.92
such as this can help
you not to have glaucoma.
00:23:35.95\00:23:39.39
Now glaucoma is an increased
pressure inside the eyes
00:23:39.42\00:23:46.75
which can cause blindness so
of course it is quite serious
00:23:46.78\00:23:50.76
and when I read this first
in a medical journal I thought
00:23:50.79\00:23:54.77
it was the Journal of Medical
Association and I thought "Oh"
00:23:54.80\00:23:57.94
the journal has
become spiritualistic because
00:23:57.97\00:24:01.85
what about working out with
a hand exerciser such as this
00:24:01.88\00:24:06.47
could keep a person from getting
glaucoma or could treat the
00:24:06.50\00:24:10.14
glaucoma if you already have
it and the idea is that as you
00:24:10.17\00:24:16.67
work out with a hand exerciser
such as this, it increases the
00:24:16.70\00:24:21.59
carbon dioxide in the blood,
just a little and that relaxes
00:24:21.62\00:24:27.98
the tension inside the eyes.
00:24:28.01\00:24:32.39
Now anything that relaxes the
tension in the eyes will also
00:24:32.42\00:24:36.27
relax the blood pressure,
so if a person has high blood
00:24:36.30\00:24:39.89
working out with one of these
little hand exercisers can be
00:24:39.92\00:24:43.27
very helpful, and so people
who do spend a lot of time
00:24:43.30\00:24:46.68
telephoning, when it's not
to distracting to do some little
00:24:46.71\00:24:53.85
exercising such as this,
one can simply work out with
00:24:53.88\00:24:57.34
the little exerciser
such as this in times of
00:24:57.37\00:25:01.41
this kind of stress.
00:25:01.44\00:25:02.52
Now here is another thing
that I like to see in people's
00:25:02.55\00:25:07.43
home health kit, and this is
a venomous bite kit extractor.
00:25:07.46\00:25:13.78
Now the venomous bite extractor
can be used for a number of
00:25:13.82\00:25:16.99
different kinds of venomous
bites and the instructions
00:25:17.02\00:25:20.57
usually come with such a
kit and you can see this kit
00:25:20.60\00:25:25.81
has a little shaver in it
to remove hair, and the hair is
00:25:25.84\00:25:34.27
sometimes in the way of the
extractor so the hair may need
00:25:34.30\00:25:39.04
to be removed, so the little
razor and then the extractor
00:25:39.07\00:25:44.15
itself with the little
cups and here is the largest cup
00:25:44.18\00:25:48.84
which could be used for a small
pit viper I suppose and it's
00:25:48.87\00:25:54.07
simply fastened on in this way
and then the plunger is pulled
00:25:54.10\00:26:01.12
back, and with this put on
the place where the person was
00:26:01.15\00:26:06.92
bitten and then the extractor
used to extract the venom
00:26:06.95\00:26:16.09
and it's not difficult at all
to use this kind of equipment
00:26:16.12\00:26:20.61
but it can be quite effective.
00:26:20.64\00:26:23.87
Now once you have extracted
the venom a lot of people feel
00:26:23.90\00:26:28.59
what I need to do is to cut
the area, but that isn't good
00:26:28.62\00:26:32.86
it's not the best thing to do.
00:26:32.89\00:26:34.38
The best thing to do is to use
the anti-venom which you can get
00:26:34.41\00:26:39.09
at almost any emergency room
where they treat snake bites
00:26:39.12\00:26:44.04
and you can also use charcoal
if you have cut the area
00:26:44.07\00:26:49.99
and you put charcoal on a
fresh wound you will get a
00:26:50.02\00:26:54.66
tattoo, it is inevitable
because the charcoal will become
00:26:54.69\00:27:00.22
enmeshed in the fibrous tissue
or the skin of the epidermis
00:27:00.25\00:27:05.02
and it will
remain there forever.
00:27:05.05\00:27:08.71
So it's best not to cut
but rather to use other things,
00:27:08.74\00:27:13.56
the cutting has not
been shown to be effective.
00:27:13.59\00:27:16.59
Then for brown recluse
spider bites you can also do an
00:27:16.62\00:27:20.67
extraction if you get to
it right away and then put the
00:27:20.70\00:27:24.66
charcoal compresses on or soak
the part if it's a part that
00:27:24.69\00:27:28.80
you can put into a charcoal
bath, you can put it in a
00:27:28.83\00:27:32.85
charcoal bath and change the
charcoal water very frequently.
00:27:32.88\00:27:38.07
We like at first to change
it every thirty minutes that
00:27:38.10\00:27:40.82
probably is not necessary
but it gives us something to do
00:27:40.85\00:27:43.89
and makes us feel that we
are trying our very best to keep
00:27:43.92\00:27:47.41
the person from getting
in a major slough from a
00:27:47.44\00:27:50.16
brown recluse spider bite.
00:27:50.20\00:27:51.61
I hope these remedies
have been very helpful to you.
