What to do for hemorrhoids

Eat for the health of it.

No one wants to talk about hemorrhoids but when you have them you can't help but think about them, then you will be willing to ask for help or read until you find something that really works.

If they are really sore, I have used peroxide on them, I have saturated gauze with colloidal silver and I have used the over the counter hemorrhoid ointment and this works too. I have read about using a 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg in a glass of warm lemon water and drink twice a day. And to stop the bleeding, mix a few ounces cranberry juice and pomegranate juice and drink between meals.

Another procedure you can try is elderberry root, found at the healthfood store. Make a paste with warm water and the elderberry root and spread the paste on a piece of gauze and place on the hemorrhoids and keep it there for awhile twice a day.

You should add fiber to your diet. I take omega-3 fish oil, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. You can do a sitz bath with warm water and a cup of witch hazel. You can also buy witch hazel gel from the health food store. Place some on a gauze and tuck it up there for a while.

One of the reasons that people get constipated is from taking certain drugs. I learned this when I had surgery a couple months ago. I was on Oxycodone and I nearly needed blasting powder.

If all of these helpful hints fail, you better get medical help.

If you learn to eat all natural foods, I am sure this will help. Now and then if you eat something that is not as easily digested, you can get bound up. I have trouble with chocolate and I really like chocolate so I have to be careful not to eat too much or remember to take at least three fishoil caps a day and drink plenty of water.

Laughter is healthy:

An old couple,Sally and Andy, celebrating their 60th. wedding anniversary decided to visit the old school where they had met and were childhood sweethearts. They walked around the school reminiscing about the good old days. As they were walking back to their house they came accross a bag of money that apparently fell from an armored car. Andy said, "We have to give this money back." Sally said,"Finders, keepers."

When they got home they counted the money and there was $50,000 in the bag. Again, Andy said, " We have to give the money back."

Sally decided to take the money and hide it in the attic.

The next day the police went into the neighborhood and went door to door asking if anyone had found a bag with money in it.

Sally said, "NO"

Andy felt quilty and said,"She's lying, she hid it in the attic."

Sally said, "Don't believe him, he is senile."

The officer turned to Andy and said, "Tell us your story from the beginning."

Ande said,"Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday...

The officers looked at each other and said, "Let's get out of here."
