I tried to reread all the topics and don't think I saw anything bout this. For years now I have done this and haven't had the flu. Each day I stick my tongue to a bottle of turpentine. The same kind I think you can buy at the drug store. My bottle says TURPENTINE pure gum spirits. Just enough to barely taste it. It ain't good at all. My grandmother , mammy, always said they did this as kids growing up and she did this with her family and my momma did with me and so on. Mammy said she never had that bad flu back in 1918 that killed so many. I ain't saying it's 100% but I know it sure has worked for me.

  Ya know, joyce, if the older folks says it worked, you can usually believe it. Hey, it wouldn't hurt to try it. Now where is that nasty stuff? Yuck, a little nasty taste is better than bein' sick tho.

Theres this lil boy sittin on the sidewalk an he hadda bottle of turpentine an was a shaken it up an watchin it bubble an shaken it up an watchin it bubble an this preacherman walked up to em an asked, Whacha got there sonny? The lil boy says, "Meester Preacherman, why this here is the most powerfulest liquid in all the world".
The preacher says "I'm sorry Sonny, but Holy Water is the most powerfulest liquid in all the world". "Why you can putta couple drops on a pregnants woman's belly an she'll pass a baby boy everytime".
The lil boy said, "That aint nuttin Meester Preacher". "Why you can putta couple drops of this onna cat's ass and he'll pass a motorcycle".
