Would we leave our kids sniffing and coughing?. Certainly not, and it is ievitable that we search something alternative. Today we use a very old and successful remedy to treat cold and cough, i.e. honey and lemon, but the right way.

For hundreds of years, the best way to use Lemon to cure cough was to boil the INTACT Lemon in water before squeezing it, and no body knew why. In view of the recent findings, the cause may be that boiling the Lemon kills enzymes present in its rind ( enzyme denaturation), these enzymes may change some ingredients of the Lemon juice, consequently we should keep the juice to be boiled INSIDE the Lemon.


The procedure to prepare the best natural cure of cough is as follows:
1- Fill a can with water and put a middle or big sized Lemon
2- Leave the can to boil for about 10-15 minutes till it bocomes soft but intact
3- Take the Lemon and squeeze it to extract its juice
4- Clarify the juice or filter it
5- Add the juice to 1/2 cup of honey ( or about 60 ml)
6- Some people - including me- add 30 ml ( 2 tablespoonful ) glycerin to the Lemon juice before adding honey
7- Add 1 teaspoon Pantothenic acid powder ( 100% pure calcium pantothenate )*, to the mixture which is now about 100 ml. Pantothenic acid activates the suprarenal gland to secrete Adrenaline (Epinephrin) and Nor-Adrenaline which are crucial in relieving respiratory system complaints.

* Type in Pantothenic acid powder ( you may use the search box of eVitamins on the left). If you prefer to use standardized supplement, search for a liquid vitamin that contains at least 50 mg Pantothenic acid or Calcium Pantothrnate per serving, this dose is used in some European cough products.

Give the kid 1 teaspoonful 3 times a day.

It is guranteed that this mixture cures your kids cough, I have tried it.

Can we Arrest Cardiac Arrest?

To arrest cardiac arrest we should first understand what is a cardiac arrest.

According to Wikipedia "Cardiac arrest is the abrupt cessation of the normal circulation of blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively during systole". Systole meant here is the contraction of the 2 cardiac chambers that push blood to the lungs and the rest of the body.

Blood circulation delivers Oxygen to all parts of the body, and "arrested" circulation stops this delivery. When brain supply is lacking (cerebral hypoxia), the victim loses consciousness and normal breathing. Immediate response is crucial to improve neurological recovery and retain survival.

When unexpected cardiac arrest leads to death, this is called sudden cardiac death. If treated early enough, cardiac arrest is potentially reversible. The primary first-aid of cardiac arrest is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to provide circulatory support until definitive medical treatment is available, this treatment may differ according to the case but it is often defibrillation.


Heart muscle has its intrinsic rhythmic contraction, that is originated in a specialized electric conduction system within the heart. The electric conduction starts by depolarization of the cell membrane, followed by re polarization and the repetition of these electric changes causes an electric an electric current that ends in contraction of the cardiac muscle.

Cardiac muscle is composed of muscle fibrils that follow the "all or none" rule, i.e. either all the fibrils contracts altogether to cause the cardiac muscle to contract, or it will not contract.

The various parts of the conduction system and, under abnormal conditions, parts of the heart muscle are capable of spontaneous electric discharge. However, there is a cardiac pacemaker (do we need to be involved in unnecessary terminology?, well it is called SinoAtrial node or SA node).

This SA node normally discharge most rapidly, and it is where depolarization spreading from to the other regions before they discharge spontaneously. The rate of discharge of SA node discharge determines the rate at which the heart beats.

This is why scientists have developed what is known as defibrillator which delivers a calculated dose of electric energy to the affected heart. This depolarizes a critical mass of the cardiac muscle, terminates the arrhythmia, and allows the normal pacemaker to restore the normal sinus rhythm, thus normalizing the cardiac rhythm.


Answering the title question, whether we can arrest the cardiac arrest is, yes we can if we interfere in the appropriate time.

Honey Easily Kills Hospital Resistant Strains of Bacteria

Hospital resistant strains of bacteria is the basis of antibiotic industry, were no
resistance to antibiotics -especially in hospitals- there would be no need for antibiotics other than early antibiotics like Penicillin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol to kill bacteria or to fight it.

In hospitals, different antibiotics are used for different conditions and patients, and this result in an inside atmosphere of hospitals that contains traces of antibiotics used, these traces are not sufficient to kill bacteria or stop its growth, giving them the chance to develop a defence mechanism against these antibiotics through genetic mutation, which produce new bacterial strains that are resistant to the relevant antibiotic, then they are widely spread.

Among these strains are Staphylococcus aureus -the most common wound-infecting species of bacteria, and the antibiotic resistant strain Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus ( MERSA or MRSA), have been shown to be the most sensitive species to honey.
