62 Random Things That People Purposely Or Accidentally Tried That Cured Them

I’m T1D and the best way to get my glucose down is an espresso martini. 1 a day keeps the endo away 😝

A bar of soap (or 2) under the bedsheet significantly reduces or eliminates my restless leg syndrome at night

When I sense a cold coming or the slight tickle of a sore throat, I scrape my tongue a lot. Never blooms into a cold if I catch it early enough!! I asked a doctor about this and they laughed at me. Okay, biotch, for someone who gets sick 7x a year - this works for me!!!

I’ve had a bad hunchback for 25+ yrs from desk sitting, even when I try so hard to stand straight, the visible bump really upsets me when I see it in the mirror.
Went for a few Rolfing bodywork sessions this last month and the practitioner did some work in my armpits this week and the hump is literally gone. My back is stick straight, I keep going to the mirror to look and am amazed every time 🤯

After 10 years of infertility with zero pregnancies: Dropping soy from our diets for just 2 weeks (each time) netted us 3 pregnancies in under 3 years. 1 miscarriage then 2 kids under 2.

Turmeric and ginger cured all my inflammation and made some of my prescriptions unnecessary

If you have sore throat, buy a bag of bean sprouts and boil it for ~30 mins and drink the broth. Vietnamese have used this for hundred of years and I’ve never had sore throats more than a day.

smoking cigarettes for my adhd. not only does nicotine treat adhd (there’s research) but it helps me with task transition. “i need a smoke, and when i get back, ill Do The Thing.” (it’s not a perfect solution but it works for me)

I used to get gallbladder attacks. I didn't know what they were and didn't know that screaming pain was a valid reason to seek medical attention so I just tried to get through them. Eating grapes helped with the pain like nothing else I tried.

Craniosacral therapy from a licensed provider helps me with depression, anxiety, body aches and pains, stiff back, healing from surgeries...etc. I've had it done nearly every four weeks for the last 15 years. It regulates my nervous system.

I had pretty bad dry eye from autoimmune and nothing worked. They were about to start drawing my blood to make custom eye drops for me. Then I started putting like 20 drops of castor oil in my eyes at night and it completely healed my cornea. All the doctors think I’m nuts.

I have been using a copper tongue scraper every morning for two years. I haven’t been sick a single day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I read a book about how anger manifests in the body and causes chronic pain - it promised that knowledge of the suppressed anger would be enough to stop the pain. I was facing a spine fusion surgery and this was my last ditch effort. It worked. Within hours I could “turn” the pain off - within days I didn’t have to concentrate on the pain, it was just gone. Doctors had already fixed the physical issue in my spine and unlocking the emotional issue in my body helped me finally be rid of pain.

My mom swears that when she was growing up, if someone got a lipoma (a benign tumor made of mostly fatty tissue) on say their forearm, they would put a bible on it and hit it with a hammer and it would pop. 🫣

I allergic to peanuts, I read that peanut allergies are nearly non existent in Asia and they do not dry roast peunuts there either. I started eating peanuts that aren’t dry roasted and no allergic reaction.

Unfortunately(fortunately?)….Mucinex & pomegranate juice for fertility 😬
Please please please don’t misunderstand me: I needed medication too. But I was finally desperate enough to try something “extra” my second round of IUI and it worked

Started drinking more soda, way more hydrated. I dont randomly get dizzy, no headaches, skin is glowing. I guess some extra sugar is worth it to drink the water 😂

Colloidal silver nasal spray handles the antibiotic resistant staph colonization of my nares and prevents me having skin staph infection every other month.
The prescriptions never went that hard.

I have skin tags. Some more noticeable than others. I had one on my eyelid. It developed fast and started hurting. Went to Japan for 10 days. Ate real, actual food with no preservatives or additives. No colored dyes. Real food. Tag fell off on its own after being there for 8 days. Our food is literally poisoning us.

You know all of the things people call stupid, like bone broth, aloe vera in the morning, etc etc? Cured my long covid.
