If you want to delve into what is probably the world's largest library of home remedies, look no further than The People's Pharmacy. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/buil...logs=1&limit=20

You will likely find one of the Graedon's books in your library as well. They have been writing about home remedies for close to 40 years, have a wonderful public radio show, and a column in many newspapers. On their website, after they answer a quesion, they let "The People" add to it usually without much further comment or editorializing. If someone says a home remedy works, it is up to you to find out if it may work for you too. The crazy Vicks on the feet is one of their classics (third result) , try it...though I go for the ginger tea myself.

Besides, they are delightfully nice and smart people who live nearby in Chapel Hill, and lean towards real food, lowish carb eating too.
Only issue is that their website is so overwhelming, and somewhat disorganized, but the search function will usually find many entries by a topic. Using Resource Center in the top bar Home Remedies will find different entries from using the side bar Home Remedies Q&A...so look around everywhere. Hope you feel better! and congrats on your LC success!
