Recommending Home Remedies - GOOD IDEA OR BAD ?

[shyamwestwind]

Hi Everyone
I am in two minds about this subject.
We often get advice from many about some home remedy or herbal remedy proving to be effective. These have actually proved effective and that is why they were recommended, but ..........
Having said that, will it be effective for all ?
Can it be accepted by all ?
Will the side effects (if any ) be damaging ?
THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIMPLY THIS .......... Should we or should not we advice others on such remedies, whether or not it has worked wonders with us ?
On one hand, it is GOOD to SHARE some remedy so that our friends benefit by it
On the other hand,, it could worsen our friend's condition and reverse the progress he was having with his regular medication.
What is your opinion, friends ?

A lot of Dictors poo hoo any herbal remedies.
12 years ago I cured myself of glaucoma,angina and high blood pressure by herbal remedies /minerals and diet.
These were recommended too me and I studied up on them.
I weaned off beta blockers and went monthly to the doctor for checks.I now take multi vits and a few minerals.
No chest pains BP and eye pressures normal.

Yeah Frank, lots of these herbal /home remedies have worked wonders on me and I feel its good to share these with others who need them, but ....but.......but, I wish I could be sure they dont have any side effects that could worsen their situation.

Shyam I've been taking Manuka honey from New Zealand for the past year and whether it's a co-incidence or not I haven't had a ''sickey'' for over a year now
It's quite expensive and you can buy varying strengths but I find 10 is fine for me

Manuka honey is also good for disolving catacts,and taken with cider vinegar helps relieve arthiritis.
P.S. Tea Tree and Manuka is the same plant.
