Seems like we have a panacea for coughs

This is really interesting! I shall try it the next time a cough comes along :D

NEW USE FOR VICKS VAPORUB
WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks.
How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing! READ ITALL.
It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research
Council (who discovered it) aren't sure why. To stop night-time coughing in a
child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on
the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.
Even
persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes, and stay
stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time and
is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough
medicines. In addition, it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will
sleep soundly. I heard the head of The Canada Research Council describe these
findings by their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and
usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative
therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked
up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than
good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was
found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime and
in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went
on to sleep soundly. My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep
constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 percent! She
said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a
few minutes, and believe me, this was a deep (incredibly annoying - every few
seconds!), uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night
she used it. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely
amazed at the effect. Pass this on - especially to those with children or
grandchildren.
