Sick on the homestead

[gamberc]

As i sit here i have strep throat. What a blast it's been. It got me wondering how you homesteaders deal with sickness on the homestead? I very much live in the reaches of city life so i have the luxury of a doctor at my fingertips. What do you guys do to combat your health???

I don't have insurance right now, thank you Obama Care. What i usually do is pull a stew bird out of the freezer toss her in the pot feet and all. Let it simmer all day and night while watching Westerns. Make up some soup the next day and eat on it for two days while watching Westerns. After three days of soup and Westerns I'm usually read to roll again, if not I go to the doctor. He usually tells me to go home and watch more Westerns.

Moms remedy for strep. Lemon tea, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Good luck and get welll
