The modern generation want a very fast zipzap cure for their ailments. In my
neighbourhood there is an old man living with his elderly wife and once in a
while his children will visit him. It was the old man's birthday and so all his
children and grand chind ldren thought it would be wise to celebrate and chill
beer going down the gullet of the old man, then solid food and what not finally
a chilledyea ice cream and off he went to sleep. Very early the next day he got
up with severe pain in his abdomen and tried some medicines like eau de colgne
hot water bag but no effect .He examined him and must have known what it was
but send him first for a complete blood test, ecg was taken and then ultra
sound and then endoscopy. before the result came he was told to xray of the
chest and finally everything was negative and then the doctor asked him if he
had anything chilled . You have cold in your small intestine. By that time the
pain dissappeared by itself because he went to the neighbour's house and he ga.
him pure neat caju feni . God has given us plants which we destroy. medicinal
plants for jaundice, cold etc. My grandmother would give us adulso bath when I
had cold or fever. Porpotto for measles and chicken pox, ventos for cold in the
chest, onions on head and body for fever or sangri shake . The last part was
terrible because my grandmother, mother and a neighbour would use force to dip
my legs, palms in boiling hot water """"""""".
