so how odd is this???… i get an email yesterday from someone saying that a really effective night-time cough remedy is vicks vaporub… well “duh?!?!?” you might say “that’d be what it’s for after all”… but here’s the thing… the suggestion is that this stuff is wicked-cool effective, especially for kids, if you rub a bunch of it on the soles of the cough-afflicted’s feet before bed… hmmnnn…
well i’m of the opinion that medicine sure is cool and all… but i reckon there’s a lot more we don’t know about the human body compared to the amount of stuff we’ve figured out… and when all’s said and done the cure to stuff like cancer is probably going to be something like marinara enemas or something truly odd…
this … uh… open-mindedness on my part… and the fact that both of our darling offspring were in possession of truly bad-ass hacking coughs that had kept them up the night before was just too good an opportunity to pass up… so we slathered them up in the interest of science and the chance to get some sleep (them and us)…
and damn if it didn’t work… not for the whole night but for 3-4 hours at a time… pretty much no hacking at all and some restful sleep…
so there’s your tip for the day, gentle reader…. vaporub on the feet… works wonders… (not-so-much the marinara enemas)…
