. I have always stressed from the very beginning that preventative measures should start now, no matter what age you are, but start now. It makes a huge difference to your body more than you'll ever know.

I also want to extend my apologies for many of you who have requested certain remedies not found on my list. I am also finally addressing those requests as you can see. Some of you forget to leave an email address for me to respond to so if your questions aren't answered by this time, it might be advisable to write me again. My emails come to me directly so don't fret. I don't have a secretary so I answer all my mail as best I can.

It's worth repeating that these home remedies are not intended to replace your personal physician but rather to help you with your minor complaints for yourself or your pets, and hopefully some of the advice here can comfort and ease your mind when your doctor isn't immediately available.

By keeping your symptoms at bay as you wait for your doctor to treat whatever ails you or your loved one, at least you have a cyber hand to hold.

Inside my list of remedies are some home cures I have saved from reliable sources, from friends, neighbors, relations and from my own grandmother who was one of the pioneers when it came to journal writing. My own granny did not know that we, her grandchildren, are now benefiting from her diary.

Some of these home cures are from readers like you who have tried proven home methods and lived by them all these years. Thank you for sharing them to the world. Names are mentioned only by request, when your home remedies are included here in our collection.

My thanks to my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for making this website for me and my warmest greetings and best wishes to you and yours.
