Vicks???

[Bob B]

I am sick and not enjoying myself.

Try some Vicks on your feet and some old sox and go to bed. The old sox are the secret LOL

Cozzzzzzzzzzz, Bennyyyyyyyyy, your not listening or reading properly M88888.

It is common knowlege (to most) that even the manufacturers of Vicks don't know why it works via the feet, but it works!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose it's the same as people from all over the world putting garlic in your shoes to prevent a cold. And Chinese accupuncture is often performed through the feet to rectify other bodily problems.

My missus picked up this nagging cough over the weekend and I suggested she try it. Her stubboness lasted until Sunday night when she reluctently decided to try it. I say reluctantly knowing that I could be taking the mickey out on her, LOL.

Well guess whose putting Vicks on her feet each night now??????

benny the cunt I have no idea why it works as I heard it on 5AA with Phil Sheldon a couple of weeks ago. I was talking about it at The Flying Club and a female poker player who was a Nanny in UK said it's been in use there for ages.

Give it a try M8 I know I will be if and when I get a cold or the flu, regards Bob

Massaging the big toe helps relieve a headache.

[Bob B]

Okay, I knew that one.

Did you know that if you scratch the skin next to the nail and on the thumb side of your index finger it will relieve and sometime stop a tooth ache???

Right index for tooth ache on the right and visa versa for the left.

if you show me a peer reviewed article in a widely respected medical journal that says putting vicks on your feet is better than putting it on your chest where you can more easily breathe it in, then i will believe you.

until then, leave wives tales for the wives

[bennymacca]

Personally, I find the recommended method of using Vaporub to be ineffective, so am more than happy to give this foot thing a try next time i'm sick - it can't do much worse I guess!
