One of my friend's mother told her that her acne is due to a hormonal imbalance and will clear up completely once she gets married and has sex.

LOL. One of my coworkers......her MIL......gave an embarrassing wedding speech where she mentioned that sex banishes acne and that her son's face is looking much clearer these days.

Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales...
my hubby is a true believer of not going to the docs...:(
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales...
My MIL looovves it when the DR tells her she has to take more medicine, she almost is relieved of all pain as soon as Doc tells her that she has a problem and now must take another sackfull of pills.
She will also swap Dr's and go for another opinion if the he says she doesnt need anything, and only comes back satisfied when the Doc has prescribed more pills
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales...
lol.. ^ There are many like that trust me.
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
Yeah…heard that one so many times from so many people
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
I have nobody to blame for my terrible wounds but myself. If I got them stitched properly then they would not look so bad… but I always believe in using hot Irons or Superglue to patch up cuts and grazes.
On the plus side apparently cauterizing is better than stitches becuase it sterilises the damaged area instantly… bad news is it hurst like hell and leaves a nasty scar.
Another astonishing remedy is for stab and bullet wounds, back in the day we were taught to pack certain Womens toiletries in our gear…
Hahahaha… but seriously they were life savers becuase nothing could stopper a wound better than that stuff. If you cant Glue or Burn the flesh together then you just pack the wound with commercially available toiletries… 
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales...
I like how aunties pretend to be a walking/talking pharmacies and exchange pills around with each other without really knowing what they are for.
"a dard ke golee should treat everything, here take my pill"
Re: Mu hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
My guy is like that. And this is after both of his parents and 4 of his siblings are doctors. He knows more about medicine through dinner talk than I do as a Pre-Med.
He has to be forced to take medicine.
Re: Mu hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
I am one of those people. I will only take medicin if it bothers me too much.
(but ofcourse if you are seriously ill, then please take medicins :k: )
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…

Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales...
Eating once a day is healthy and u will lose weight. Scary how many ppl think that's true.
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
Right.
Re: My hubby, his medical stories, and other tales…
Yep it’s proven and still used by some Forces back in the day the SAS employed those very same methods in Rhodesia… alas these days they dont burn or use the Toiletries but they do have Analy administered injections and Superglue.
