One of my favorites (NOT) was castor oil. That stuff seemed to run right on down to the colon and on to my underwear. To say it was nasty is an understatement. Later on my mom switched to ExLax. That more than did the job, but I needed to remain in sight of the bathroom until it cleaned me out.

Just this past week, my wife was suffering from stomach pains. She had tried a number of remedies. Finally, she sent me out for a bottle of "good" Ginger Ale. That and some crackers did the trick! 😲

I have a mild form of gastroparesis and Canada Dry Bold ginger ale and A&W root beer really does help. I go to the ginger ale first and use the root beer if I am out of the Bold or if the Commissary is out. No cure for gastroparesis.

Yes, those, in various combinations, could cure pretty much everything except the most lethal of diseases.Apr 30, 2023 14:21:01 #

I recall a liquid that Mom would pit on toothaches, it smelled like cloves and worked well. I think it was banned in the US? Any other Seniors remember this?

I remember. I think it was clove or cinnamon oil. Really potent stuff.
