are really suffering, this is seemingly good. I would not
recommend it often and it is REALLY strong stuff. It also makes you feel
weird, which is still better than being finished with the headache.
It was instant, and definitely NOT caffeine free. It is the heavy
caffeine that does the job. Coffee is meant to be a medicine it seems,
like alcohol, and not a `drink`.

When I had a heavy diarrhea and nausea, I was advised to drink Coca Cola
by one devotee. In that condition I did not mind; whatever would help
would be ok. To my astonishment I felt immediate relief and the digestion
actually became normal. At another similar occasion I remembered this
wonder medicine and again took it, the result being the same. But I want
to stress that I only took it in really heavy cases when nothing else
would help.

Subject: Digestion problems and breathing through the right nostril
------------------------------------------------------------
I read this trick in the `Old Time Remedies for Modern Diseases` book and
have tried it on numerous occasions and it works.
Are you tired after eating? Lack the proper digestive fire? Then take
some tissue paper and roll it up and block off the breathing in the left
nostril. Now, for some time, breathe only through the right nostril.
This will assist the digestive fire like anything. The left nostril is
the female side, the cooling side (moon) and the right nostril is the male
side, the fire side (sun). So if you want to digest, you need fire,
therefore we breathe through the right nostril. And if you want to sleep,
then cool off the body by breathing through the left nostril.
A general rule is also that if you are experiencing pain, then immediately
switch the nostril for breathing and the pain should be relieved somewhat.

Subject: More on headaches...
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a spectacular cure for all kinds of nasty headaches. It is
another granny wisdom cure.
If someone has a headache, then his friend should take about 3 ounces of
water and put in 1 teaspoon of sea salt and mix well. Water is normal
room temperature. Patient should be told to lie down. The friend pours
the water in both nostrils without caring for the mess that happens (which
means this is best done with a gumcha on). Obviously the one with the
salt water in his nose is not going to like it, so when he starts to turn
his head from side to side as a gesture of discomfort, tell him,
`Immediately SIT UP.` So now the patient is sitting and all that water
should come running out all over him. A nice friend would have a bowl
large enough to catch it all to save the mess. Anyway, at the end there
should theorectically be no more headache.
It is quite spectacular when it works. Do one time per headache only, but
this can be done every day if needed.

Subject: Bread and water
------------------------------------------------------------
I`d likre to share some practical experiences: for last several months I
have not taken bread at all. I have noticed a big improvement in my
general health and digestion. Then for one week I again took bread and
again I fbecame finished. After stopping with bread I was again ok.
I have taken chapatties instead.
Also for last 2 weeks I have used a waterfilteringsystem called "Brita".
It`s a simple thing where you pour the water in a container with a filter
and also keep it there for use. It makes the waterater a lot cleaner (at
least it tastes a lot better and when used in cooking everything becomes
more tasty)
I have a feeling that it could be something useful for others also.
You can get it in healthshops and some supermarkets have it also costs
Sek150, the filter should be changed every month or so costs something
like Sek100 for three.
