• Vic’s Vapo Rub on bottom of feet for congestion
• Apple Cider vinegar on cotton ball to remove a skin tag

I haven’t tried these but my wife has thrown them out recently.

Anything apple cider vinegar is garbage.

I tried this ridiculous apple cider vinegar concoction for a bad sore throat I had years ago. All it did was make me vomit and the sore throat got worse.

One that absolutely does work is garlic to remove warts. I had a wart on the inside of my forefinger and one on my thumb that have been there for as long as I can remember. Have picked them off only to have them grow back. Tried freezing, and they grew back. Then finally tried the garlic method. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rubbed it on the wart for about 15 minutes. Did this maybe 4 times over the span of a month or so. Both went away after about a month and have been gone ever since.

Can't get pregnant if you lick ice cream in the grocery store and put it back on the shelf. Don't think it works.

Cut up potato applied to remove a wart. (Grandmother insisted it had to be buried afterward to work... it did)

Taking a shot of Dr. Tichenor's to cure a severe stomach virus. (Have witnessed it work multiple times)

My grandmother did this. Then she would put on thick wool socks.
She lived to be 98. Still lived by herself.
Unfortunately she caught the flu and died of complications from that.

Stepped on a rusty nail. Bitch of a mom wouldn't do anything about it. Hurt like hell, hobbling around and the old lady down the street felt sorry for me. So, she
made a Bread poultice. I didn't believe her, but at that point was willing to try anything.
Here's the formula:

Warm the milk in a small pan on low heat.
Turn off the stove, remove the pan from heat, and let it cool so it's warm to the touch — not too hot.
Place the slice of bread in the pan and let it soften.
Stir the milk and bread to make a paste.
Apply the paste to the skin and leave on for 15 minutes.

She had me leave it on all night and when I woke up and took it off it had sucked a bunch of gross shite out and it healed completely in like a day.
