The thread title does seem a bit strange to some of you. But this thread is about how perhaps your family cured you of an illness through superstitions, home-made elixers, etc.

To explain the thread title: My Grandfather had a meteorite that could heal headaches and orthoritus(sp? Basically joint pain). Well, when I was younger I had a migrane headache to where I was screaming in pain. My grandfather brought the stone and put it on my head. Surprisingly, in less than a half hour, the headache was gone! It's a miracle!

Then came my flu. I used to live in what was known as "The Igloo" from my family. Had no heating, was a nice house and all, but everyone in my family got a very bad flu from it. Ranging from vomiting to hallucinations due to high fevers (I unfortunately had to be rushed to the hospital). Anyways, I remember my dad going to his liquor closet while bringing out two teaspoons of whisky. Now, some of you guys right now might find this a little disturbing; it definitely helped me sleep better, not to mention I was over my flu two days later.

I would not advise giving your kids alcohol. But when they are sick? It's good to give them A LITTLE bit. My dad put vodka in his finger and stuck it in my mouth when I was a baby (I grew up with very bad teeth) and he claims it helped sooth the pain.

I got braces. So now my teeth look awesome

Know any home made medicine?
