A Tip for GP

My midnight buddy, GP, is not feeling well. She has got the flu bug and is now, although recovering, still has terrible bouts of coughing and runny nose. Well I got this email just in the
NEW USE FOR VICKS VAPORUB nick of time I think and would like to share it with GP and you, my readers. I've yet to try it out but who knows, it might work to ease the coughing. Of course, lay low on the coffee as well ya!! Yes, I see that coffee mug next on your desk..lolzz!! senyumkenyit


NEW USE FOR VICKS VAPORUB

This works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research Council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

To stop night-time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes, and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition, it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

I heard the head of The Canada Research Council describe these findings by their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure.

I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me, this was a deep (incredibly annoying - every few seconds!), uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at the effect.

So, try it out ya GP and let me and the rest know if it really worked.. In the meantime, take care...cium peluk

Lots of love...

What next?

oh yes, Vicks always work wonders. Not just the ones which comes in the bottle, even their inhalers are great for stuffy blocked nose. GP, try it and drink warm water a lot. That might help too. down with flu is the worst of all common sickness i think, it makes your body weak like anything kan?

LJ, why you deleted my offline ha? nak kena marah dah ni. LOL btw, i was saying, I've got a few IDs and I will give you my email ID yg tak banyak spams. Most of my emails are flooded with spams, you know, all those Pe*** enlargement thingy, some guys writing letters asking me to keep their 3 million USD etc etc! LOL ok ok, back to my email ID. it's "smartgirl7766@yahoo.com"
