Strange cures for common problems

Posted on Oct 24th 2006 3:24PM by Martha Edwards

Usually, I'm a little skeptical of alternative remedies unless they've been prescribed by a professional -- you never know what you're getting yourself into. But I recently came across this article, which offers unique (some might say bizarre) ways to aid common ailments, including (I kid you not), playing the didgeridoo for sleep apnea, shining a blue light in the mouth to combat bad breath and text messaging to quit smoking. I'm not sure how sure-fire these 'cures' are but I doubt they're harmful to your health so why not give them a try? By the way, the article wins the clever line of the week award in my books for "Brahms is the balm." Hysterical!

What wacky cures have you heard of?

Lie Bumps? If you ever have had one.. you know it. Its the most painful, distracting and a curse for the soul who is prone to hve them.
I suffererd for many years with this condition, the end of a nerve that goes to the tongue becomes inflamed and the result is a painful, often large bump on the tongue that can drive a person bananas. Dr after Dr told me so many stupid things and prescribed a ton of medication, none of it worked.
Then while suffering one of the worst and most painful ones ever I suddenly craved Tuna. Simple Tuna .. after eating a tuna melt the pain was immediately relieved and in 2 days the bump was totally gone.
Now, when I get that little electric tingle in my mouth that signals a bump, i eat a can of tuna. One can a day and swish it aruond in my mouth before i swallow and the pain is gone and so is the bump.
I dont know why. I dont know how. But anyone who has suffered with these things as i have will surely take the time to give it a try. jdypat
