How I Cured My Back Spasms From Hell!
Of all the ’09 Alternative Practices That Healed My Sickly Maladies’ this remedy worked where over-the-counter drugs, prescribed drugs, massage,… failed.
Since I can remember, since I was a kid, I’ve always had lower back spasms that hurt so bad, they’d take my breath away and even paralyzed me. I’d be on the floor, if I moved a fraction of an inch in any direction the spasms would viciously contract again and again. And it would take a loooong suffering week or so before they’d eventually fade away.
I’ve tried prescription drugs, shots straight into my back, over-the counter medications, and salves,… Not until the mid-1990s while writing the 667-page Gettysburg Program (alternative health) did I find a super cheap miracle ingredient that practically banished those killer back spasms from my life. Here’s the whole story so you’re pain-free starting today (>>>with your doctor’s permission<<<).
To get rid of my back spasms, I take 01 capsule of cayenne pepper (powder – Dr. Quinn’s Power Plus) – 130,000 SHU or Hot Sauce (The Spice Wagon – Fire For Effect) – 100,000+ SHU) with plenty of water (keep reading).
Capsicum (cayenne) — Herbal parts are taken from berries and fruits. It acts as a catalyst for herbs and provides apsaicine, capsacutin, capsaicin, capsanthine, capsico, PABA, & Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, C (rich source), E, ascorbic acid, calcium, dihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin, homodihydrocapsaicin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sulphur, and zinc.
Capsicum is the source of over 100 varieties of Cayenne Pepper, from heat ranges of mild paprika to the extremely hot habanera. It’s been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years! Capsicum aids digestion, improves circulation, and stops bleeding from ulcers. It is noted to also be good for the kidneys, lungs, spleen, pancreas, heart, and stomach.
It’s also noted to help remedy chronic fatigue, depression, gastric ulcers, and prostration. Skin ointments that contain capsaicin have been noted to significantly relieve the pain of arthritis, herpes zoster, and diabetic neuropathy (causes pain and tingling in the legs). Capsaicin is noted to deplete Substance-P, a neuropeptide produced by the nerves that carry pain sensation. You’ll find many new pain-relieving products on the market containing capsicum-capsaicin! Most herbalists have noted that cayenne pepper stops bleeding!
Below is a list of capsicum and their measurements in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Most actual cayenne pepper is rated between 30,000 to 80,000 Scoville Heat Units. Cayenne just refers to one variety of capsicum. ALL hot peppers are capsicum.
- Paprika – 0 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs).
- Jalapeno – 50,000 to 80,000 SHUs.
- Serrano – 100,000 SHUs.
- African Bird – 200,000 SHUs.
- Mexican Habaneros – 250,000 to 300,000 SHUs (HOT!!!).
Researchers in Great Britain and Japan have found that cayenne can cause the body to burn up to 25% more calories in a day than it normally would! Cayenne has the ability to deplete a chemical in the pain-transmission nerves known as Substance-P. Cayenne is being tested as an all-around analgesic-painkiller!
According to Thomas Barks, Ph.D., head of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center in Tucson, a single injection of capsaicin fights certain types of chronic pain in guinea pigs for weeks! Rubbing an ointment of capsaicin on the skin actually numbs the pain locally!
In his book, Left for Dead, Richard Quinn the author, relates a fascinating true story. He was struck with a heart attack which was followed by bypass surgery.
The bypass surgery was supposed to “make him as good as new.” Well it didn’t, and his cardiologist stated, “there is nothing more we can do.” After months of moping, Richard Quinn took some advice from a friend. Richard purchased only 69 cents of cayenne pepper (red), filled several capsules and swallowed them!
The very next morning, Richard Quinn got up and shoveled 04 feet of wet snow off his 28-foot porch! That happened in 1980. Richard Quinn studied the medicinal values of herbs and launched his own company “Heart Foods Company Inc.” – now Cayenne Company. Read Richard Quinn’s book, Left for Dead at your local library, purchase it at your local bookstore, or order it from R.F. Quinn Publishing Company by calling 1-800-229-3663. His book is packed with information on cayenne pepper and other herbs.
Most Important Note: I buy & use Dick Quinn’s Power Plus (200 capsules – 130,000 SHU). I used to take 04 capsules at a time. Now I only take 01.
Plus I have a salt shaker of 1/3 cayenne, 1/3 sea salt and 1/3 black pepper and sprinkle this concoction on my meals. You’ll read more once you become a full subscriber. But for right now, let’s carry-on with more benefits of cayenne.
The Thais (Thailand) use capsicum chili peppers as a seasoning and as an appetizer with their meals. Their blood is infused with chili pepper compounds several times a day. Thai physicians have for some time credited regular consumption of chili peppers as the reason that thromboembolism (life-threatening blood clots) are rare among Thais compared to Americans!
German researchers as early as 1965 found chili peppers beneficial for the blood as a fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) stimulant. After more testing, Sukoon Visudhiphan, M.D. and his colleagues at the Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok suggested that the frequent stimulation of the clot-dissolving mechanism by chili peppers helps keep the Thais immune to thromboembolism (life-threatening blood clots)!

How I Stopped The Pounding Pain From A Bad Burn!
I heard a story of a lady that burned her fingers from hot grease. The burn site (tips of 03 fingers – 1st and 2nd degree burns) was 1/3rd the size of my burn (keep reading).
After everything was said and done, the uninsured casualty paid more than $800.00 in medical bills.
The morning of 010900C October 2006, I (author) was pouring boiling hot water right off the stove into my Thermos thermos bottle to make tea. This way I can make twice the amount of tea using only 03 tea bags instead of the recommended 06 tea bags. By steeping the tea bags in the thermos for a couple hours, I get the same amount of tea for 1/2 the price.
Anyway, I was pouring boiling hot water straight off the stove into my thermos through a funnel. The funnel moved and the hot boiling water poured onto my left hand. It took a second or 02 for the burn to register.
I stopped pouring the hot water on my hand and wrist but I stubbornly still held my thermos so not to spill the contents into the sink. It turns out half my hand and part of my wrist had very bad burns (STOP SIGN RED) and then the NON-STOP STINGING THROBBING PAIN followed. I gotta tell you, CONTINOUS PAIN will stop you from making the correct survival decisions cause you’re overwhelmed with nagging pounding pain – you can’t think straight. So you have to do something to STOP or at least minimize the pain.
Anyway, I initially put some Super PAV ointment on it but the pain didn’t lessen a lick. So I went to my A-Z Index to find some home remedies for the burns (all red – [completely burned-off all the skin], swelling, and blistering).
The following is my own R&D for burn remedies and I even gave them a rating for pain and timeliness
a) Super PAV: Super PAV from NATR IS great topical healer but it does nothing immediately for pain. After a few hours, I took off the Super PAV and then tried Sensodine Fresh Mint Toothpaste (SFMT).
b) Sensodine Fresh Mint Toothpaste (SFMT): I have to tell you, this toothpaste works. The pain is 95% gone! I applied a good dose of this toothpaste and gently covered all the areas. Within minutes I started feeling relief and within 30-minutes, the pain was 95% gone. Reapply as needed. What about other toothpastes?
Note: Toothpaste must be a white paste not a gel. SFMT is green in color.
c) Colgate Cavity Protection (CCP): Colgate has more than a few toothpaste products. You need the original white paste Anyway, I removed the SFMT by gently rubbing the area under cold water. The SFMT had some lasting pain relief even after it was completely removed for it took 06-minutes for the burning pounding pain to return with a vengeance. Anyway, I generously applied CCP to the burn site. In only 04-minutes, I already started feeling pain relief. And like the SFMT, 95% of the pain is gone. Reapply as needed.
1st Most Important Note: Under cold running water, I gently removed the CCP to carry-on with the remaining burn pain remedies. After waiting 01-hour, the PAIN DID NOT RETURN! The hand remained somewhat swollen with a little blistering and discolored, but the PAIN DID NOT RETURN! Thus, I discontinued my R&D for I will not deliberately burn myself with boiling hot water. Just to make sure, I reapplied the CCP to ensure the burning pain did not return. However, if you truly want this R&D, send me $50,000.00 and I’ll do it just for you!!!! Yes, I’ll put everything on camera. BOTTOM LINE – CCP IS THE BEST BURN REMEDY!
2nd Most Important Note: In my humble opinion, CCP works so good against burns, a fresh tube of CCP should be in every medicine cabinet, every first-aid kit, every fire truck, every ambulance, and every emergency room. Trust me, I’m telling you this is the best burn remedy that I have ever come across and used – IT WORKS! Now let’s carry-on with my R&D.
d) Nature’s Gate Winter Gel Natural Toothpaste(NGWGNT): The reason I added NGWGNT is because in the 2008 AASN – Toothpaste Fire-Starting, you’ll learn how I used it to start an emergency fire. Now let’s see if we can extinguish burning pain with it. I stated earlier that you should use toothpastes that have paste in them and not gels. NGWGNT own name states that it’s a gel but let’s see if it works anyway.
I liberally applied NGWGNT to the burn site and did get some relief but I was still in pain. The NGWGNT was better than nothing. Again, see Colgate Cavity Protection(CCP).
e) Tomato: Slice a tomato and place the fresh slice(s) on the burn site. Repeat as necessary.
f) Onion: Slice an onion and place the fresh slice(s) on the burn site. Repeat as necessary. Onion is complimented with antibacterial qualities.
g) Potato: Slice a potato and place the fresh slice(s) on the burn site. Repeat as necessary.
h) Honey: Liberally apply honey to the burn site. Clean and reapply as necessary. RFIR
i) Acupressure: First degree burns are indicated by a redness of skin. This can be brought on by exposure to the sun, heat, or chemicals. More serious burns are categorized as 2nd (blisters), 3rd (destruction of skin), 4th (muscle & bone damage & destruction), and 5th degree burns (muscle & bone damage & destruction). This acupressure application is orientated towards 1st degree burns only. The points are located on the inside of each hand where it meets the wrist and centered on the crease located there. Apply firm pressure. Pain should diminish soon. Repeat application as needed.
Note: RFIR = Requires Further Intensive Research.

Burn Remedy Pain Definitions!
I divided pain remedy into the following ratings based on pain relief itself and the time it took to relieve the pain.
Excellent Plus—Relieves pain within 30-minutes and initially 90%+ of the pain is gone. Soon after there is 100% pain relief and the pain does not return (01+ hour) even after the concoction is completely removed. Highly recommended.
Excellent—Relieves pain within 30-minutes and 90%+ of the pain is gone.
Good—Relieves pain within 60-minutes and 70%+ of the pain is gone.
Fair—Relieves pain within 90-minutes and 50%+ of the pain is gone.
Poor—Fails to relieve any pain for 03+ hours.
RFIR—Requires Further Intensive Research.

Burn Remedy Pain Ratings!
a) Super PAV: Poor
b) SFMT: Excellent
c) CCP: Excellent Plus
d) NGWGNT: Fair
e) Onion: RFIR
f) Tomato: RFIR
g) Potato: RFIR
h) Honey: RFIR
i) Acupressure: RFIR
RFIR = Requires Further Intensive Research
BOTTOM LINE: Colgate Cavity Protection (original white paste toothpaste) is the BEST & QUICKEST burn remedy I have ever used.

Pain Relief For Cuts: On 04 September 2015 (Friday), I got a good cut from one of my cats. Even for a small cut – it hurt. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but remember in the 2007 AASN – Laydon’s Burn Remedies? Remember I talked about ‘Colgate Cavity Protection CCP’ – (original white paste toothpaste)?
Remember I said it took away the POUNDING PAIN in about 02-minutes and never came back.
Well I have 03 tubes of that stuff standing by 24/7 CAUSE IT WORKS! So pain is pain. Why wouldn’t CCP work for pain from a cut? So I applied some CCP and YES in about 02-minutes the pain was gone! But the story doesn’t end there.
On 05 September 2015 (Saturday) at 0730 hours, I was laying in bed. A cat named Cocoa (female black cat) was underneath the covers next to me. Another cat jumped on the bed next to me and Cocoa went ballistic. In the 500mph slicing with her front paws I got cut 03-times on my left index finger. Instantly the PAIN kicked-in. Again, I went to my medicine cabinet in the bathroom and applied the CCP. This time I started my chrono on my watch.
In only 01-minute and 35-seconds I noticed the pain going away. In 02-minutes and 07-seconds the pain was gone completely and never returned.
Now you know ‘Colgate Cavity Protection CCP’ – (original white paste toothpaste) can be used for PAIN no matter its source. Wait, I’m not done yet, why stop the PAIN in a survival situation or any situation? Here’s a quote from the Anytime Anywhere Survival Program: Pain is your body’s way of telling you that you have an injury. Pain in itself is not harmful, but it does make you uncomfortable. You may not notice the pain if your mind is concentrated on other matters.
If you let it, pain can get the best of you. It can weaken your WILL TO SURVIVE. Tolerate the pain by understanding it’s source and nature. Recognize it as something to be tolerated. Concentrate on things you need to do (think, plan, & keep busy). Take pride in your ability to tolerate the pain.

“How I Stopped The POUNDING PAIN From Multiple Wasp Stings!”
What you just read was written and updated on 07 September 2015. Talk about BAD LUCK. It is now 071825C September 2015 (Monday). About 10-minutes ago, I was running in my house like a sissy girly man. I was out at my carport cleaning it up when I somehow got ZAPPED in my left hand on all 05-fingers at the same time. I thought I hit a live wire. It felt like painful JOLT OF HIGH VOLT ELECTRICITY! It was instant EXPLODING PAIN!
As I ran off I glanced to my right and behind me and sighted 01 may be 02 wasps. I ran into my bathroom and grabbed the cardboard box of ‘Colgate Cavity Protection CCP’ – (original white paste toothpaste).
MAN oh MAN those 05 stings hurt like crazy and they tagged me on all 05-fingers all at the same time. I’ll be honest with you, the pain didn’t go away in 02-minutes. This time it took about 05-minutes. At this time there is no swelling. If there was, I’d already be on my way to the hospital. Thank God I’m not allergic to bees, wasps,… I’d probably be dead.

“How I Stopped POUNDING Toothache Pain From Hell!”
I gotta tell you what’s better than Water Boarding to get a terrorist to give-up sensitive information – it’s a NON-STOP POUNDING TOOTHACHE PAIN FROM HELL!! Here are some toothache remedies that I used that really work.
1st Pounding Toothache Remedy: I got to tell you about this newly discovered tooth ache remedy. Let me give you some background information. The beginning of April 2013, I started having this NON-STOP TOOTH ACHE PAIN in the upper left part of my mouth. Like the stubborn one that I am, I endured the pain and it got worse as time passed.
You see I have no dental plan and the cheapest one goes for about $1,200.00 a month. Now here it was 25 April 2013 and I was still in a constant hurt. I went to sleep but couldn’t because of the aching non-stop pain.
Now here it was 26 April 2013 at about 1am in the morning and I FINALLY decided to do something – anything about this nagging toothache. So as usual I did my “intensive research” but focused on any alternative remedy “medicines” I knew that already worked. OK here it is step-by-step.
Step 01: I gargled and especially swished with Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for about 30-seconds. I did this about 09-times. I felt relief from the pain almost immediately.
Step 02: The pain returned just a couple hours later. This time I warmed-up some pure water and added some sea salt and mixed it. I gargled and swished this concoction for about 30-seconds. I gargled and especially swished with this concoction about 07-times. I really felt no relief.
Step 03: I then dental flossed the 03 teeth that were aching.
Step 04: I again gargled and especially swished with Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar for about 30-seconds. I did this about 06 – 09-times. The pain stopped and never came back.
1st Note: You’ll find that when spitting out the Bragg’s ACV concoction, there will be dark brown specs of debris. Don’t be alarmed, this is part of the Bragg’s ACV concoction.
2nd Note: I believe the combination of dental flossing and gargling & swishing with Bragg’s ACV and saltwater did the trick. I believe the Pounding Toothache Remedy saved me several hundred, if not more than a thousand dollars, in dental bills and I hope it comes in handy for you too. You must see 2nd Pounding Toothache Remedy below right now.

2nd Pounding Toothache Remedy: Did you read the 1st Pounding Toothache Remedy? Here’s one that is just as good or even better because I tried it myself and it worked FAST.
On 10 May 2013 after driving approximately 03-hours trying to find this concoction, I finally found it. It’s called Clove Oil.
GNC carries it but was out of it so after checking WalGreens (doesn’t carry it), Scott Air Force Base BX (doesn’t carry it), Scott Air Force Base Commissary (doesn’t carry it), I finally found a mom & pop Health Food Store that stocks it (trying to save you the time from running around). Then I had to buy cotton balls and some Q-Tips (have them at the house) but I wanted pain relief RIGHT NOW!!!!
Anyway, this is what I did. I simply applied 03 drops of the Clove Oil to the Q-Tip and rubbed the gum area and the total area of the tooth itself with the saturated Q-Tip. It tasted bad so I just spit out the excess. Almost immediately I started feeling relief. Approximately 10-minutes later I re-applied the same concoction with a new Q-Tip saturated with 03-drops of Clove Oil and I was GOOD TO GO!!!!! To be honest with you I may not have needed to apply the 2nd concoction but I did anyway.
As far as the cotton balls, several hours later, I applied 40-drops of Clove Oil to a cotton ball and stuck it between the tooth and the cheek and held it there for several minutes. Bottom line I prefer the Q-Tip and Clove Oil concoction and that’s what I did. Now that’s 03 applications.
As of this moment on 11 May 2013 at 0940 hours in the morning, my upper-right pounding toothache is COMPLETELY GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a RELIEF!!!! I’d rather be water-boarded than have that non-stop, throbbing, nagging, toothache pain.
Why does Clove Oil work to remedy a pounding toothache. According to http://experience-essential-oils.com Clove Oil has “anti-infectious, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties” and “killed more than 60 types of bacteria strains, 15 strains of fungi, plus several viruses.” And speaking of a bacteria killer, read Bacteria Killer below.

2nd Pounding Toothache Remedy Update: Here’s an update. At 031705C (5:05 pm), I‘ve had a my upper and lower teeth near the back on the right-hand side of my mouth hurting last night – almost 24-hours. I dabbed 04 Q-Tips with 05 drops of Clove Oil and felt relief almost immediately (within 60-seconds). There is still a little pain on the lower right teeth – standby.
OK, it’s been 30-minutes and I reapplied Clove Oil to not only the lower right teeth but also the upper right teeth. More relief followed in seconds. SEE 2nd Pounding Toothache Remedy FINAL UPDATE at the end of this book. See Another POUNDING Toothache Pain Remedy at the end of this Survival Book.
NOTE: Clove Oil has me salivating for a minute or so and makes my lips numb.
–
3rd Pounding Toothache Remedy: Here’s another POUNDING toothache pain remedy that really works cause I’ve used it 05-times already. I’m not making a dime off this endorsement so here it goes.
I purchased this toothache pain kit at WalMart and I figure it can also be purchased at Walgreens and other drugstores. It’s called “Red Cross Toothache Medication” and it has a red cross at the top center of the small package. The toothache kit includes a small bottle of Eugenol Oil, a small box of tiny cotton balls and metal tweezers. In my humble opinion, the Eugenol Oil works just as good as Clove Oil or BETTER!!

“How I Stopped Sensitive Toothache Pain!”
Double Nagging Pain – Toothache Pain And Sensitive Teeth Pain Remedy: Have you ever had toothache pain and pain from sensitive teeth at the same time? I have and this is what I did. As far as the nagging & pounding toothache pain you already read all the remedies.
Now as far as getting rid of that pain for sensitive teeth, I use 02 dental products:
- SENSODYNE – Toothpaste For Sensitive Teeth And Cavity Prevention
- LISTERINE SENSITIVITY
You should use both products on a daily basis. As far as the mouthwash, besides gargling for 30-seconds, I also swish the mouthwash in my mouth for an additional 30-seconds. And will swish it around my mouth during the day if I feel sensitivity pain.
WARNING: If your teeth are sensitive, prior to using the mouthwash, if it’s cold in your house, insure you warm-up the mouthwash by holding it next to your body for an hour or so. If you use the mouthwash when it’s cold – YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL IT!!!

“How I Cured My Uticaria Of Non-Stop Itching From Hell!”
Of all the ’09 Alternative Practices That Healed My Sickly Maladies’ this serious non-stop malady dang near drove me crazy.
Uticaria is an eruption of super-itching patches of hives from the top of your head to the bottom of the feet. Even on the palms of the hands, face, head & face,… This is my definition of uticaria and what happened to me. The summer of 2014, I woke-up with super itchy hives all over my body, I mean all over my body. Even the palms of both hands were covered with a big patch. And the constant 24-hour a day, non-stop itching from HELL was torture. Many times, I remember laying in bed rubbing my itching feet together non-stop to satisfy my itching feet. This uticaria lasted about a month. I tried several remedied that partially worked or didn’t work at all.
But one remedy worked and the uticaria never returned. The healer to my uticaria was DETOX and JUICING. I stopped eating all my regular foods and started drinking carrot juice that I juiced via my juicer. For weeks I consumed nothing but carrot juice. The uticaria, bit by bit went away. After a few weeks, once my body was completely free of uticaria, I stopped juicing. The uticaria never returned.
I gotta tell you, uticaria is HELL!!! I’m sure there are a lot of suicides from uticaria. I’m one of the few people that will tell you upfront that I support Enhanced Interrogation Techniques against known or suspected terrorist that deliberately plan to murder innocent men, women, children and infants. I’ve never been water-boarded, but I’ll bet you a few hundred bucks that Uticaria is far worse than water-boarding. The CIA should induce uticaria to their prisoners and I’ll bet they’ll start talking real quick. See About The Author.

“How I Cured My Painful ‘Water On The Knee!”
Of all the ’09 Alternative Practices That Healed My Sickly Maladies’ this one I kinda invented. It worked. How? Have no idea. All I know is that it worked overnight. Here’s the true story.
Approximately 15 December 2011 (Thursday) I (author) woke-up with my right knee in pain that ached 24-hours a day non-stop. From what I can tell, directly over the kneecap was a “bubble” of liquid the size of a 50 cent piece. Water on the knee??? Anyway, the pain progressed where it was even difficult to sleep. Then finally on the evening of 18 December 2011 (Sunday) I took action. There are hundreds of remedies in this Survival Program but I wanted to add another. So I went to this website I gave you years ago – www.earthclinic.com And read about the additional amazing benefits of cabbage – namely joint pain. I modified what I read and here it is:
Ingredients: Fresh head of green cabbage, small plastic bag and bandage wrap.
Step 01: Take the fresh head of green cabbage and tear away and discard the first few outer leaves (debris and discolored)
Step 02: Carefully tear away 05 or 06 large leaves.
Step 03: Remove any large stalks on any of the leaves so you end-up with pliable cabbage leaves.
Step 04: Place all the pliable leaves in the plastic bag and secure the opening of the bag.
Step 05: Gently roll the cabbage leaves against themselves so bruising is caused so to release their healing ingredients.
Step 06: Remove the cabbage leaves from the plastic bag and place them directly on the injured part of the joint. The cabbage leaves can be placed one on top of the other (which is what I did) or spread to cover the entire circumference of the joint.
Step 07: Secure the cabbage leaves by wrapping the bandage with several snug but NOT TIGHT wraps. The “cabbage bandage” should be applied prior to going to sleep.
What you just read is exactly what I did. I woke–up the next morning (Monday) and was very surprised that there was great improvement. My knee wasn’t 100% but the pain was 95% gone and mobility about 80%. I did not reapply the cabbage bandage, but as the days went on, my right knee kept improving. The kneecap area is still tender to the touch but overall, the cabbage bandage did the trick.
UPDATE: 02 months later, my knee is in 100% working order thanks to the Amazing Cabbage Remedy which deserves more “intensive research.”

“How I Stopped Foot And Leg Muscle Cramps!”
Of all the ’09 Alternative Practices That Healed My Sickly Maladies’ here’s my own R & D. I’m ALWAYS doing R & D (Research & Development), so You’re Ready Anytime Anywhere. I’ve always suffered from muscle cramps in my legs. I mean real bad muscle cramps. So here’s the true story of my results for AVOIDING and getting rid of muscle cramps in the legs.
I read an article in Runner’s World (November 2014 – page 54) on how to remedy muscle cramps. According to Kevin C. Miller, Ph.D., an associate professor of athletic training at Central Michigan University, pickle juice may relieve muscle cramps. He gave pickle juice to cramping victims, water to another set of cramping victims, and nothing to other cramping victims. Dr. Miller states “Pickle juice relieved the cramps in an average of 85 seconds. Something in the pickle juice, besides potassium or sodium, is telling your muscles to relax and stop firing.”
For my own R & D, I purchased a 24 fluid ounce jar of Vlasic Kosher Dill Spears for $02.35 (08 June 2017). The shelf life is about a year (Expiration – 09 June 2018). Every now and then, I suffer from cramps in my calves and feet. So I’ll have this jar of pickle juice standing-by in the fridge and will post my own results at a later date. Now let’s carry-on with a fascinating healing story using Mind-Over-Matter.
Muscle Cramps Update: Today’s date is 12 July 2017 (Wednesday). I gotta tell you. I suffer from muscle cramps (calves & feet) and they HURT! I took a small gulp of pickle juice about once a week or so and I didn’t have any painful muscle cramps when I’m laying in bed the last 04-weeks. I drank the pickle juice as a preventative instead of waiting for the muscle cramps. Bottom line, drinking pickle juice to stop or PREVENT muscle cramps WORKS! Why? I don’t know and I don’t care. All I know is that it works. I still have some pickle juice waiting in the fridge right now and I’ll take a swig of it about once or twice a week or more depending how hard I’m working outdoors.

“How I Cured My Throbbing Aching Feet!”
Of all the ’09 Alternative Practices That Healed My Sickly Maladies’ this remedy actually saved my military career. I could have made a commercial for the company that helped save my Army career. OK, here it goes, here’s the true story.
While in the service (US Army – Infantry & Special Forces [Green Berets]) I’ve (author) gathered and tried a lot of tricks to help keep my feet in shape. Let’s face it, you can be the baddest Rambo to ever walk the Earth but if you can’t get from A to B what good are you? Here’s one healer that literally saved my military career. I could have made a commercial for this fantastic product.
In May of 1980 I completed the US Army Ranger School. I reported back to Camp Mackall, NC. Several days later the bottom of my feet hurt so bad I could barely take baby steps. I couldn’t walk 10-feet. Seriously, I couldn’t walk 10-feet.
I reported to sick-call and eventually ended up at Womack Army Hospital in Fort Bragg, NC. After my examination, the doctor told me my feet were in shock, they were traumatized because of all the walking (patrolling) I did in Ranger School. Plus, all the times my feet were cold, wet, and wet & cold.
They fitted me with custom-made arch supports. I thought this should do it. I wore the arch supports made just for my feet and they did nothing. They were worthless.
The pain was non-stop. My feet hurt 24-hours a day. My young military career was just getting started (06-years under my belt) and it was now coming to an end. If my feet didn’t get better quick so I could perform my military duties, I was facing a medical discharge.
A day or so later, I saw an ad in a magazine about something that could remedy foot pain. What have I got to lose? I ordered the product. They sent me these pads so that I could make impressions of both feet. And I told them what was wrong with my feet. Done – I sent them foot impressions back to the company and anxiously waited for the product they bragged about – especially about stopping the non-stop foot pain.
About a couple weeks later, they arrived. They were chrome-looking metal arch supports that were “springy” – they were flexible instead of those worthless “wooden shoe” arch supports the Army made for me at Fort Bragg, NC.
PLUS these new chrome-looking arch supports were contoured to my left and right foot. I inserted them into my Army boots and within a short period of time (hours – a day or two), my foot pain was gone! I was HEALED. It’s a MIRACLE!!!!
And the name of that company was and still is “Feather Spring (now Luxis)!” I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them. When I initially ordered my Feather Springs, they were out of Germany – I think. Now they have offices in the US for faster service.
Because of my Feather Spring arch supports, I continued my military career and eventually completed 20-years! Yes, I wore those Feather Springs throughout my military career – I must have put a billion miles on them babies!
