Duct tape works well for wart removal.

Usually when I feel a cold coming on I go to the store and buy strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and oranges and binge.

Knocks it right out.

Cold/flu cut onion in half and put in your sock while sleeping at night. Grandma would also make a tea with local honey, lemon, and some tobasco sauce. It actually worked well for sore throats.

Apple cider helps a sore throat. For a cold, I'm a big fan of just cranking the heat, double shot of whiskey, and wrapping up in a heavy blanket, seems to sweat it right out.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Gargle a warm water/salt/peroxide mix to cure sore throats.

I always carried an onion slice for bee stings when I coached fall baseball. The bees get really bad that time of year and get in the fences and dugout. Something in the onion neutralizes bee venom.

i don't know if it works or not read it in one of the home remedy books , it was at Holzer in Athens

It has all kinds of different stuff in it, like throw a dry towel in the dryer with Your wet clothes to cut down drying time, and keep Your razors blade sitting in a half cup of baby oil to keep them sharper longer

A 9MM shot directly in the ear will alleviate symptoms of anything.

I figure it's common sense unless you have absolutely no idea why/how muscle cramps happen. Keeping your razor blade in baby oil works. The blades won't rust and you're keeping it in a lubricant.
