Thanks NDD. I don’t get exposed to that kind of FE medicine very much in the hospital but I think is really interesting and applicable.

You're most welcome.

FE treatment for parasites:
1) Salt water - four tablespoons in one quart. One time shot

2) Tobacco - Eat 1 to 1 1/2 cigarrettes. May repeat 24 - 48 hours.

3) Kerosene - Drink 2 tablespoons. No more! May repeat 24-48 hours, but no sooner

4) Chilis - eat in foods or raw. Must be a staple part of the diet to be effective.

We use to soak the tobacco from 1 cigarette in a gallon of water overnight, and then use it to water plants. It would get rid of the parasites. Would drinking the water be easier on your stomach than eating the straight tobacco? Would it even work?

I don't think it would work - too diluted.

I'll never forget you telling Jamie to eat the peppers to stun the worms when we ate at the house next to the Hondo camp.

Also not to touch the dogs on the heads because of the conjunctivitis they and the kids had.

Boy did the sweat break out on his head after he ate one of those peppers!

Great flashback!

LOL - Yankee Team Sergeant didn't know about peppers did he?

Those little bastards were hot though.

Quick learning curve, but unlike examining a horse shoe, you can't quite drop them that fast.

What are you going to use to irrigate wounds in the FE setting?

no chest tube?


et tube

or

foley catheter, insert, inflate, gentle traction, tape 'er down - and a heimlich valve will fit on the end of it
