ARTICLE: "MISTLETOE: A LITTLE-KNOWN CANCER-KILLER"
Mistletoe: A Little-Known Cancer-Killer
By Charlene Bollinger
From The Truth About Cancer Web Site
Below is an excerpt from the article. To read the article in its entirety, click on the link below:
ARTICLE EXCERPT:
"For most of us, mistletoe is that fuzzy and festive twig we wrap in red ribbon and place above door frames. However, mistletoe is about a lot more than stealing kisses during a certain time of the year. It is, in fact, what I would consider a “heavy hitter” when it comes to healing cancer. And there are literally hundreds of studies to prove it!
An Ancient Healing Herb
It never ceases to amaze me that those who came before us discovered so much about the healing power of God’s plants. Ancient peoples knew this miraculous herb was special because of the healing properties it contained. Mistletoe was considered sacred to the Celts and the Norse of the European continent a thousand years ago and was also used by Native American peoples here in the Americas.1
In Roman times, a philosopher called “Pliny the Elder” wrote that the Celts used the plant as an antidote to poison and also as a fertility herb for their livestock. The word mistletoe means “all heal” in the Celtic language.
In truth, mistletoe (Viscum album is the European variety and Phoradendron serotinum is the American variety) is actually a parasitic type of vegetation. It grows on a “host” tree and can stunt that host or even kill it if mistletoe grows and gets out of hand. In reality, however, it is its will to live that has inspired awe throughout the centuries. It has the ability to flourish when other trees and shrubs cannot. It can grow seemingly out of “thin air” and in a variety of conditions as well.
Mistletoe in Modern Times
In modern times, mistletoe has been researched extensively, and is actually used to this day in some countries for cancer. It has been used by European doctors, as well as oncologists, for almost a century."

ARTICLE: "9 THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ADD VINEGAR TO THE LAUNDRY"
9 Things That Happen When You Add Vinegar to the Laundry
Article from TIP Hero
[https://tiphero.com/add-vinegar-to-laundry]
Below is the article. To read the article on its web page click HERE
NOTE: I have used white vinegar in my laundry for years and have no need to use a fabric softener, or one of the products to clean my washing machine. I put about 1/2 cup per load in the fabric softener dispenser at the start of the cycle. Because I do this with each load, it continuously cleans the machine by preventing build-up from happening. Also, it helps get rid of any soap residue left in the clothes during the rinse cycle. [Owner, Tri-Cities On A Dime]
"If you have yet to experience the wondrous abilities of white vinegar for your laundry routine,
you may want to give it a whirl. It is natural, doesn’t cost much, and
although the smell does not compare to roses, it is better than inhaling
bleach fumes.
Speaking of its scent, you don’t have to worry about the vinegar leaving its signature on your laundry.
The smell fades without a trace after drying. Instead, you will be left
with cleaner clothes that retain their original colors without
excessive buildup on the fabric.
Do not be afraid of grabbing a bottle
to keep exclusively for washing your linens, garments, and tools of the
laundry trade. That’s right. Take a peep at all the ways this fermented
concoction can make washing, drying, folding, and ironing better.
-
Freshens Machines
If you have a front-loading washer, white vinegar can be used to clean the seals around it that tend to create a mildew smell. For any machine, run a full, empty cycle using hot water and 1/2 gallon of vinegar to disinfect it. -
Launder Baby Clothes
Gentle and hypoallergenic, white vinegar can clean baby’s belongings without interfering with flame retardant fabric. Add 1 cup to the wash cycle. You can also pre-soak stained items (like clothes or cloth diapers) with a 1 to 1 ratio of water and vinegar, and a teaspoon of baking soda. -
Repels Lint
Prevent lint and pet hair from clinging by adding 1/2 to 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. -
Clean Irons
Knock out iron buildup from the inside out with white vinegar. While the iron is cool and set to “off”, pour ½ cup distilled water and ½ cup vinegar into the reservoir. Turn the iron on at its highest heat level and steam a cloth for about 15 minutes, clearing out deposits.
Once clean, turn it off, allow it cool, and pour out any excess liquid. To clean the outer plate, make a paste with baking soda and vinegar, and use it to wipe the plate down.
-
Soften Blankets and Denim
While vinegar is known as a good fabric softener on its own, it is particularly good for softening hard jeans (especially new) and making blankets extra soft. Start out by adding ½ to 1 cup of it to the rinse cycle for jeans.To get your blankets extra soft, add 2 cups of vinegar to the rinse cycle for machine-washable fabrics like wool or cotton. -
Kill Odors
Unsavory smells like mildew and sweat can be cured with a dose of vinegar in the rinse cycle. If you have tougher odors like smoke to get rid of, add a cup to the wash cycle. -
Handwash Delicates
Wash your delicates per usual with a gentle cleanser, but add about a tablespoon or two of vinegar to the rinse water to get rid of soap deposits and odor. -
Zap Static Cling
Either add ¼ cup vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser or pour in ¼ – ½ cup during the rinse cycle to prevent static. -
Stain Fighter
You can make a pre-treatment stain formula to keep in a spray bottle that is a half and half mixture of vinegar and water. For stains like yellowing, juice, or coffee, try soaking the item in ½ cup water and ½ cup vinegar."
