How Growing up Mennonite Shaped my View on Common Illnesses, plus 2 Home Remedies

[@cindydickson3379]

So would I! That would be wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

[@fahinahigby1152]

I agree! I’d buy one for sure. Most Americans sadly have gotten away from old time remedies and have relied on the medical professionals. It’s sad because growing up grandparents/ parents rarely took us to the doctor. They used old time remedies. Those things are being lost. Plus our foods have changed since I was young, which has severely impacted our health. So please spread your knowledge by printing a book with your knowledge. I know some knowledge that was passed on from my grandmother but would love to learn more

[@Earthy-Artist]

A suggestion Ruth Ann to help you protect yourself on KZbin. I've noticed that many people who give herbal remedies on KZbin begin by first giving a 'disclaimer' in order to protect themselves. They do this by saying something such as 'I am not a medical doctor, I am just showing you what I do and what my family does, and what many in the Mennonite community do. Anything you try is at your own discretion, and at your own risk'. And in addition you could also add a written disclaimer to the drop down menu which I've also seen people do. Hope this helps. Thank you for sharing your wonderful information with us!!

[@sherylpedersen7831]

Yes, regarding protecting yourself, some forty years ago, I worked at THE BEST health food store in Omaha. When folks would come in and ask what to buy to treat whatever ailment, we couldn't just tell them what we knew was best. We had to preface it with, "Dr. Kelley's news letter says this." Or "Adelle Davis wrote this." Never just prescribe for an ailment, even though everyone wants you to. Now I am very ill, and need to get back to those teachings. I still have the books, but ya don't get smart (or well) by having them on the shelf! (I sound like my dad now. 🤣😂🤣)

[@Earthy-Artist]

@@sherylpedersen7831 Sending up prayers for your healing! It's never to late to dust off your books and start using those techniques. Famous herbalist 'Rosemary Gladstar' has some great books containing herbal remedies, I have her book called 'Fire Cider' and will be collecting her other books as well.

[@53sheri]

I'm not Mennonite but I'm of an earlier generation. We always fixed are ills at home. We never had well baby visits. The only time we went to the Doc was if we couldn't take care of it at home. God gave us a great immune system and we all healed fine. I had measles mumps and chicken pox. No problems. When the neighbors had these my Mom sent me and my sisters over to play so we would all be sick at the same time. We played in the dirt, we didn't use all these germ cleaning products. We washed our hands before we eat. We shared drinks (I still do with my grandkids). I never bought into the scary commercials used to brainwash you into using store bought products to kill germs. LOL I use all natural or homeopathic remedies. Thankfully my daughter does the same and her kids are so healthy. They never have runny noses or allergies. Have no idea if we have had the dreaded virus, i never bought into the lies that were spread. Never trusted the testing. I'm very proactive in healthcare and question everything. I love following you because we are alike. Good food and nutrition goes a long way to keep you healthy. Been thinking of making fire cider thanks for the video and I'm going to make some. I just love your video's.

[@bustles]

Do you have a recommendation for a 2.5 year old with a wet cough for a month. I've always used natural remedies, even with my now 8 year old son. My toddler has had this weird phlegm-y cough for weeks now. It's the strangest thing I've ever tried to treat. It just won't go away. I was giving her elderberry and a small amount of echinacea and mullein, but that didn't seem to do anything to help. So I thought maybe what she was dealing with was more bacterial so I started giving her colloidal silver and UMF 20 manuka honey. That also doesn't seem to be working. Or maybe it's just a cough that's lasting an abnormally long period of time?! It's so odd. Anyways, was wondering if you had any idea of something that could help. Thanks

[@joyinthewind1]

​@@bustlesAmla juice. Just a capful to a glass of water. Watch them carefully because it expels and often needs to be face down to avoid choking. It's extreme but it works. Always stay with them until the coughing is over. The younger they are the more you need to be there to help them through it.

[@Greenr0]

One time I used garlic to get rid of two superbug strains from my kitten. I took my kitten to a vet because she sneezed and had running nose constantly for many weeks. The vet said two superbugs that could not be eliminated by any antibiotics were found in her nasal sample. The only option she offered was to take my kitten to an animal hospital 50 miles away and spend $600 (30 years ago) to surgically open and flush clean her naval cavity and ran a 33% chance of bringing a deaf one home. I did not take her suggestion. I remembered that I read a story about a person who had sinus infection since she was a kid and was constantly on and off antibiotics that offered her only temporary relief. Many years later she found a remedy from her grandma's books about using freshly squeezed garlic juice for her problem. She conducted the garlic juice ceremony with her friends. None of them could smell the garlic after it went 100% strong into her nose and caused her to see a flash of white light while her eyes were closed. It cured her sinus infection. She said it was like her body totally absorbed the garlic, including its smell. I thought I could not do that to a kitten. So I diluted the freshly squeezed garlic juice over and over in filtered water to a liquid that no longer smelled garlic. I put one drop of this liquid into each of her nostril every morning. Her problem noticeably improved after a few days and completely cured after one month. I stopped this routine with plenty of the liquid left. Her sinus problem never came back. I recently learned about one of the principals of homeopathy is that a repeatedly diluted remedy can become much stronger and potent than the undiluted one. I wonder if I made a very potent remedy that was capable of eliminating super bugs. By the same logic, I wonder if just one drop of garlic juice in the well mixed coconut oil could achieve the same result, even though it might not smell garlic at all. Thank you for your video and giving me the opportunity to share my story.

[@jasminbintyousuf5992]

Hi, could you please share the exact steps so I could follow them for my cats? Thank you.

[@Greenr0]

@@jasminbintyousuf5992 I squeezed juice out of a garlic clove into a plastic or glass container, then add filtered water until I could not smell the garlic. Since our nose gets de-sensitized quickly, you might need to step out then come back later to make sure. You can also pour a bit of the garlic water to another container that has filtered water and repeat until you cannot smell the garlic. Then I held her little head back (she was a kitten, so it was not hard as I was able to hold her body with one hand and used the dropper in another hand), so her nostrils were tilted upward, then I dropped one or two drops of the final diluted liquid into each of her nostril. She would sneeze immediately afterwards. I would let her sneeze, then put a few more drops in again. I did this every morning for about a month. I put the un-used liquid in the refrigerator and clean the dropper after each use. If your cats are bigger, then you might need another person to help you. Also keep your face a good distance from your cats (best to be a good distance above them) because they will spray their stuff around.

My wife studied Medicinal Chemistry to Masters level then spent 14 years working for a pharmaceutical company. Perhaps because of her experience in "ethical pharmaceuticals" she always uses natural remedies wherever possible. Garlic, as with other plant-matter, is well known to have medicinal properties and it is documented in scientific studies. You have such a cute grandson!

[@teresa9613]

This is how most people lived and felt about the medical community without being Amish or Mennonite. My grannies always used the old country home methods on us, and we only went to the dr went things were really bad. It was just common sense. Since the 80's the way you describe the "modern" world has gradually morphed into what you depict, and I heartily agree with you (and also the reasons for it). I just shake my head. Of course, I couldn't have predicted the whole world would have lost their collective minds in 2020 like they did, either...People look at me like I have 2 heads when I refuse to say the "C" word with bated breath like they do, and tell them they need to let their immune systems work. Such a thing as keeping it too clean. Also, the insurance companies have destroyed our medical system.

[@bethdiegues8655]

[@marymarymillidweeb2661]

Agreed. I'm in Canada and our system has really taken a punch the last generation. I put a lot of blame on the media spreading fear to new parents with words like meningitis or "flesh eating virus". Now our ER's are looking at wait times over 4 hours - mostly for minor viruses. That being said my son at 30 years old developed a sinus infection that somehow spread into his brain forming an abscess! You can imagine how grateful I was for our "free" healthcare system when he was taken in for surgery on his brain! I can't imagine the cost without our healthcare. But common sense seems to diminish with every generation and social supports are showing their cracks. I'm so thankful for people like Ruthanne for sharing their wisdom - now I have to get that recipe before the yoo toobs takes it down! 🥰

My kids used to call me Doctor Mom. i have always used natural remedies to treat them if they got sick. Other Mothers asked me how I got my children through an entire year without missing any school. They would all get awards for perfect attendance every year. Doctors and Nurses have saved my life on several occasions and I was a Nursing Assistant for 20 years. When one of my children would come home sick I would make chicken soup with onions and garlic and feed it to everyone in the family. By the next day we would all be well, and it would stop with that one child.

And we appreciate you and your family, RuthAnn! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

We all just love your life advice! Seriously! I love Saturday morning videos

The other day your video about parasites was playing. I can tell you this, I would have given anything to have been able to do the parasite cleansing that you were talking about. In 2017 I had an episode of intestinal worms. The pain I endured from it made childbirth feel like a good burp. I was on the bathroom floor screaming and curled up in pain. I’m trying to get back to the natural way of living and treating ailments of any kind. I appreciate your knowledge and sharing your recipes. Have a great weekend. God Bless 🙏🧡 Lorie 😊

If you don’t mind sharing, how did you get it?

[@sunsetheritage]

@@cynthiafisher9907 I’m not 100% sure, but a few days before the stomach pain started I ate some blackcaps on my property. I figured there must have been some kind of larvae on them and they developed in my system. It was about 10-14 days before it got to where I was on the bathroom floor screaming in pain having no idea why. After I passed it, I freaked out when I saw what was in the toilet. Don’t judge me, but I took a picture. A few days later I had a regular Dr appointment for something else and showed my Dr. I will never forget the look on her face 😆😂. She said there’s no need to test me for worms, because I had the proof. She prescribed 2 pills if I remember right to clear out anything else that might have been in my system. When I heard Ruthann’s video about doing a parasite cleanse, I thought right away, “I sure wish I had that years ago” 😂

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@sunsetheritage No judgement, I probably would have done the same thing, just to find out what it was! I can’t imagine it could have been anything on the blackcaps, though. Good thing you got help!

Good morning from Ontario, Canada. I enjoy your videos and look forward to Saturday mornings. Have a super fantabulous day!

I would love a book from your! I made fire cider last year and ended up with 19. I may have been taking it incorrectly! I love your old ways!

Oof... I just got to the part where you fell back when pulling the horse radish. Please be careful. I did that in June when trying to pull out some stubborn wildflowers to replant in my garden. I flew back and fell so hard that I crushed 2 vertebrae in my back. I had to have surgery at Mayo and am still under major restrictions. Who knew a wildflower could try to kill you?!

You are so correct, and healthcare wasn’t always broken. Everything is broken now, I think you might not believe who has broken it.

Braggs vinegar was sold in 2019. Not the same now.

[@conniespillman5157]

I too read that the company has different owners now and is no longer the same.

[@Shalompaz-m7w]

Is because Bill,Gates bought the company, UNFORTUNATELY.

[@53sheri]

I have an old bottle and new bottle. The difference in color is so different. I think they add too much water. I started making my own. So easy.

[@bonnieblack6973]

I believe the new owners are Bill Gates and Katie Perry yikes. Watch out for those apples with apeel.

[@virginiam1321]

I agree totally. It also comes down to common sense. Even before the pandemic. If you have a fever stay home. Once it breaks give it a day and you’re good to go back to work/ school. You need the day after to get your strength back as well. But the schools can be a bit ridiculous. Hope the didnt rob your money from you, this video was wonderful as always. I live in the suburbs of NY, but lived in NC for over 25 yrs. I wish homesteading was bigger back then when my kids were younger. I’m ready to pack my kids& grandkids up and get out of here and buy a big piece of land and start over. You and your family are what we all should aspire to be! God is good! 🙏🏼

[@Lorellehb]

Another good motivation for avoiding the doctors office besides cost, is to avoid the dangerous chemical medications.

[@Martipenny]

@@Lorellehb I had to laugh at my new doctor wrote on my after visit report. I told her I don’t take medication for my blood pressure because it’s not high. She said it was a preventative. I said No!! If I develop high blood pressure then I’ll take it. But I’m not taking meds for something I don’t have. She wrote I was non compliant!! 😂😂😂

[@robertdeatherage2354]

When we were in the plain circles, I noticed what you shared about not seeming to keep sick children home. I remember being shocked when an unwell child at church "hadn't thrown up since this morning " 😊. My response wasn't fear based though, it was just a desire for my own family to not have to take turns being sick for the next week. I saw it as a 'love your neighbor ' to not spread sickness. However, living closely in community (which is what is truly uncommon in today's culture) brings with it so much good.

[@juliesavva2999]

Great Video, and your grandson is so cute bless him.

Ruthann, this is an awesome video for home remedies. I was raised by my grandparents and parents. During hat time, my grandmother had many home remedies that worked for colds, stomach aches, and inflammation preventions from minor injuries. My grandmother did not document the home remedies for future generations to refer to. Your videos are awesome and are good for future reference. Thank you! May God bless you and your family!🙏🏼🥇
