[AT] coughing

[John Grant]

 This is worth trying .Beats that old coughing all night through .Try it 
!!!!!
 This sounds good to me. I will try it.

 WOW!
 (I'm a believer in Vicks Vaporub ! I even use the non-greasy on arthritis 
places. I'll certainly try this next time.)

 Sorry, no graphic for this one, and don't laugh, it works 100% of the time 
although the scientists at the Canada Research council
 (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

 To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out 
personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at 
bedtime, then cover with socks.

 Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay 
stopped for many, many hours of relief.

 Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very 
strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing 
and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

 I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on 
the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness 
and usage of prescription cough
 medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like 
acupressure. Just happened to
 tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines 
in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical
 makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened.

 It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed 
medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition, to have a soothing and 
calming effect on sick children who then went
 on to sleep soundly.

 Lolly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent 
cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that
 it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few 
minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly
 annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough free 
for hours every night that she used it.

 So, if you have grandchildren, pass it on; if you end up sick, try it 
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
