Secret Food Cures & Doctor Approved Folk Remedies

Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is credited with saying, "Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food." Throughout history, people have used food to treat health conditions. Many edible plants and natural remedies have become famous for their healing qualities, while others remain hidden in plain sight. These are the "secret" cures you can't afford to ignore.

Blue Water

Sunlight and water are necessary for life on this planet, but the real magic happens when they're combined. The best way to do it is to leave a blue-colored glass bottle of water in the sun for at least 1 1/2 hours. As the sun's rays travel through the glass and into the water, it becomes energized with amazing healing qualities. The color therapy effect of the bottle's blue tint makes this water the most powerful antiseptic and astringent in nature.

When you apply blue water to dry, chapped skin, the skin becomes smooth and soft, with a healthy glow. You can use blue water as a mouthwashit to kill germs on your teeth and gums and to sweeten your breath. Wounds and sores can be disinfected with blue water and indigestion can be relieved by sipping it. A few drops in red eyes will eliminate inflammation and strengthen weak eye muscles at the same time. These are just a few of its many benefits.

Apple-Cider Vinegar With Baking Soda

Blood pH has everything to do with your health. This is true because an acid pH strips the negative charge from your cells and disrupts the electrical current that keeps your blood flowing. When your blood is unable to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your cells, you die. A slightly alkaline pH of 7.36 is what you need and apple-cider vinegar with baking soda is a good way to get it.

Add 2 tbsp. of cider vinegar and 1/4 tsp. of baking soda to 6 ounces of water. Drink this once a day before dinner. Buy pH strips and check your pH every week by holding a strip in your urine stream. You can add a second glass of cider vinegar and baking soda before breakfast, if necessary.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Way back in 1919, doctor J.S. Haldone reported that oxygen could be dissolved in the blood to fight infection. Since hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, is water with one extra oxygen molecule, this is exactly what it does. In fact, there is no easier, effective way to flood the body with oxygen than food-grade H2O2. Since disease conditions can't survive in an oxygen-rich environment, we need all the oxygen we can get.

The only hydrogen peroxide that is safe for both internal and external use, is properly diluted 35-percent food-grade H2O2. For therapeutic uses, you can create a 3-percent solution by pouring one ounce of 35-percent H2O2 into a pint jar and adding 11 ounces of distilled water. Put the three-percent solution ito a clean nasal spray bottle and pump it into your mouth five to ten times while deeply inhaling the fine mist. Do this two times every morning and two times at night. Your body will thank you!
