Old-School Medicine: What’s Your Family’s Go-To Remedy? 🌿

In a world where people seem to want to pop a pill to solve any problem, sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference.

In a recent interview, Dr. Joe Varon reminded us of the power of old-fashioned, immune-boosting habits:

:sun: Getting outside in the sun

:lemon: Lemon and honey when a cold hits

:droplet: Staying hydrated

And just listening to our bodies.

But he didn’t stop there.

In this refreshingly honest conversation, Dr. Varon also unpacks:

  • The chaos of COVID protocols and what should have been done different
  • The lack of transparency around the jabs, and what patients weren’t told
  • Why we need to rebuild trust in medicine by educating both doctors and patients
  • How true healing begins when we take charge of our immune systems
  • What the IMA is doing to make it all happen.

:speech_balloon: Question for the group:

What “old-school” family remedy do you still use — and swear by?

Nature is filled with beautiful ironies. Many years ago my mother discovered a natural cure for poison ivy, often growing along side of it. I still use it today. It’s called Jewel Weed, or Touch-Me-Not, and it is the most effective antipruritic I’ve found. I was a city kid sent away to camp one summer, completely ignorant of poison ivy and how it spreads. I had it everywhere; I think I was having a systemic reaction to it, which has happened once or twice since. Forget calamine or hydrocortisone. My mother made me take a bath in a concentrate she made from the plant, and it worked quickly and well. The property we live on now has it growing in abundance, and I pick some every year, put it in a plastic bag, and freeze it. Any itchiness, bug bites, poison ivy, and I crush a bit, soak it in water, and apply the liquid.
