I don't care what the quacks say about "water memory" or "spiritual energy" - no way would I date a girl who told me that she'd taken a homeopathic remedy to "cure" her STD...

Hmmm...i thought this was about a different "natural remedy" but really there are so many natural remedies that can cure most anything and so many more undiscovered that have been used to cure many ailments through the existance of humanity. I don't know about amethyst stopping drunkenness however...that's never worked for me, but others do keep me, calm.

The thing with natural medicine is that all the ones that work are now being used by doctors and are just named medicine now.

Article on BBC news today about natural medicine in Wales between 1600 and 1750.

Examples:
Skin of dead puppies - Used in an ointment for the skin.
Oils of swallows - used for "shrunken sinews" (withered limbs).
Juice of snails - were dropped into eyes for eye conditions.
Earth worms - held to boils to heal them.
Calves lung water (a remedy made from calves lung, garden snails, milk, eggs and nutmeg) - drunk for tuberculosis.
Halved cockerel, including guts and feathers - held over an adder bite for seven to eight hours, followed by giving a patient treacle to keep the poison from the heart.
