GOOT is GOOD

okay - with the ravages of several colds around here (that is what we get for going to an indoor jungle gym playground for a birthday last week!), I decided to try making the goot described over at Jacque's blog.  I actually originally made it to try on the psoriasis on my head, which some doctors have said is candida-caused.  anyway, Saturday night and Sunday nights I turned on the waterless vaporizer which has helped baby girl in the past.   She still didn't clear up and added coughing to her symptoms.  So Monday night (after I bought garlic), I made some Goot.  I spread it on her chest and feet before bed.  She slept really well.  still had a fever and stuff come morning, but in addition to the cold that everyone else has this week, she is also cutting two molars and two front side teeth.  I spread it on her Tuesday night as well, and she slept really well.
but being me, I just had to push my luck, so last night, after a long day of coughing, I decided to see if it was really the goot... and did not slather her chest, back and feet.  no one slept last night from her coughing and hacking and gagging.   even after I did slather her in the middle of the night, it seems like it took forever for her to stop coughing.  Crazy me, huh?  stick with what works.  Especially since I covered dh with it last night before bed too, since he was coughing pretty bad too.  his coughing fits stopped almost immediately!  We have managed to put it into sore ears of the older kids, but only after they are sleeping - they do not like the smell and will not let us put it on them.
anyway, we have become Goot fans around here!  Thanks Jacque!  we owe you one!

You can do the same thing with Vick's vapor rub. Put it on the feet and it works unbelievably well.
Have a blessed weekend.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and the nice comment!
Sorry to hear of the colds. They sure have a way of making a person feel awful. I hope your family will be on the way to recovery very soon! Oh yes, and thanks for the link to Jacque's blog! I will definitely be checking that out.
God bless, Mistypearl

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I wasn't even done the post yet but forgot to hit "draft". Anyway, we also don't have any media coming into our home except for internet for some of the same reasons you list. Much of it doesn't meet our standards for a Godly home. Hope your family is feeling better and over the coughing soon!

Stick with what works. It is so hard when the babies are sick, no sleeps well. I hope you all feel better soon. God bless. mj
