I will share something about chicken soup. The old school chicken soup in question is home brewed from all parts of the chicken, salt and garlic with different herbs and ingredients depending on region (which may have health properties of their own). The key is salt helps retain water being lost from dehydration. Garlic is a potent natural antibiotic. And chicken contains Lysine which is an antiviral. GOOGLE “lysine” ..no lie, chicken soup is real medicine.

I was just wondering if anyone has more information on why the bar of soap helps with RLS. I suffer from it frequently and take prescription medication to manage the pain. I would love to be able to do away with the drugs, so if anyone has more pointers, I would love it if you could share them with me.

A bar of soap near the legs does get rid of restless leg syndrom; at least, it does in my case. I keep the soap on top of the sheet, so my leg touches it. I tried modern meds to no avail.

I had a midwife with my first daughter over 17 years ago and she told me about the “draino test”. I did it and it said I would have a girl. Then with my second daughter, I did it again and as before it predicted correctly!
