Grandma, have mercy! The most dangerous methods of traditional medicine
Progress is progressing by leaps and bounds, but millions of people still prefer to be treated with folk remedies. Probably, some time-tested recipes really help to cure a cold or get rid of a cough, but you can always choose the appropriate medications. And they will definitely be safer. And with grandmother's means, you can even finish playing to a fatal outcome.
Urine therapy
The worst thing about self—medication with urine is not even urine therapy itself, but the fact that it is being promoted on television. This is what pseudo-doctor Malakhov was doing, and the unique Elena Malysheva. Why?! Nitrogenous substances and uric acid destroy the liver and kidneys.
Kerosene rinsing
Yes, you read it correctly: mouthwash with kerosene. In central Russia, this is a very common way to combat angina. The problem is that it is worth taking a sip a little, and the strongest burns of the larynx and esophagus are provided. Take a sip more, and the doctors will twist their finger at the temple over a cold corpse.
Swimming in the ice hole
For some reason, it is believed that there is nothing better for healing and rejuvenation of the body than bathing in icy water. In fact, such entertainment is not suitable for everyone. An unprepared person risks staying in the ice hole forever. Sudden hypothermia can cause temperature shock, which leads to suffocation. Not to mention frostbite and inflammation of internal organs.
Celandine
Celandine tincture gained popularity many centuries before doctors began to use gloves. This drug, if I may say so, really fights very effectively, for example, with papillomas, but you have to be very careful. Celandine juice is poison. Overdose can cause a whole bunch of unpleasant consequences. Even a few deaths have been recorded.
Railgun
To any person who has brains, this method will seem like utter nonsense. However, he has hundreds of fans in Russia, not to mention India, where they came up with this wonderful therapy. The bottom line is this: people lie down on the rails and wait for a train to pass along the neighboring tracks. Allegedly, the rails are filled with a weak electric charge and, accordingly, with healing power. As you understand, accidents happen regularly.
