    From the page: ""If your child has a fever, take a potato and cut it in half. Take each half and put it on the bottom of their feet, keeping the in place by putting socks on over the potatoes. Keep the potatoes on for a few hours. When you take them out your child's fever will either be a lot lower or gone. There is something in the potatoes that helps draw the fever out."I'd imagine the explanation would be science molecules vibrating with the potato's natural tuber energies. Yes, that sounds totally plausible, based on what I know about potatoes and science. I'm happy with that explanation and I don't believe any further research is needed now. I shall pass this peer-reviewed study on to The New Scientist with all haste.What a fucking collection of fuck.Note to kids: If your Mum tries to do this to you when you're ill, unstrap those King Edwards and get the hell out of there. Find a relative who you can trust and stay with them until social services have completed their investigation.RoseD1st, you're an idiot, along with anyone else who pastes almost the whole fucking page in one giant paragraph into their comment in boldz. I think my ulcer's coming back.

    Large list of home remedies... (and for the record, some--notice I didn't say all-- such things are effective/plausible. For example, tabasco is derived from the pepper of the same name, and peppers contain capsaicin--which is a known analgesic.)

    From the page: COLA Cola is good for washing road grime off of your windshield. It cuts through the grease and dirt. Just pour a can of cola over your windshield and rinse off with water. To get rid of those pesky little aphids on house plants put some Coke in a spray bottle and spray the leaves and buds on the plant. Let dry and stay there for several weeks. Take the plant outside and spray off with fresh water or leave out in the rain. The little buggers will choke on the Coke. If you have a tooth ache or abscess, try using warm (not cold) cola and hold it in your mouth for a few minutes until it has stopped foaming and spit it out. Works wonders until you can get to the dentist . One 12 oz can of Coca-Cola ( not Pepsi ) in the wash will get rid of diesel smell in clothes. Put some cola in your coffee pot let it soak. Add some ice cubes, swirl them around the coffee pot and most stains will rinse right out. And we drink this stuff !!!

    A self appointed physician speaks:If your child has a fever, take a potato and cut it in half. Take each half and put it on the bottom of their feet, keeping the in place by putting socks on over the potatoes. Keep the potatoes on for a few hours. When you take them out your child's fever will either be a lot lower or gone. There is something in the potatoes that helps draw the fever out.And you will also have a lovely tasty jacket potato meal, saving you a whole load of money at the same time.­
