...a keepsake...9/11

Have you heard about the trucker who has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives on 9/11?







The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. He has been 'pulled over' numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck.

A couple of weeks ago, I was just amazed with what I received from a distant friend, an e-mail. I could hardly imagine if it would really work. But with the responses I received from people I forwarded the message with, I can somehow say that it really works.

Well, to make it known to you too, I just wanna share this with you that hopefully it may lighten your burdens if you encounter such a dilemma in your life. This was the message...

NEW USE OF VICKS VAPORUB...

WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough.Amazing! READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time,although the scientists at the Canada Research Council(who discovered it) aren't sure why.To stop night-time coughing in a child (or an adult, as wefound out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on thebottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about fiveminutes, and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Thisworks 100 percent of the time and is more effective in childrenthan even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition,it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.I heard the head of The Canada Research Council describe thesefindings by their scientists when they were investigatingthe effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines inchildren as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure.I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guytalking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harmthan good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs,so I listened. It was found to be more effective than prescribedmedicines for children at bedtime and in addition to have asoothing and calming effect on sick children who then went onto sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant andpersistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 percent! She saidit felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stoppedin a few minutes, and believe me, this was a deep (incrediblyannoying - every few seconds!), uncontrollable cough, and she sleptcough-free for hours every night she used it.If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazedat the effect.

Pass this on - especially to those with children or grandchildren.
