Save a Life

The situation in the Philippines following typhoon Haiyan is disastrous, with people having no water, food or shelter and with supplies taking a painfully long time to reach those in desperate need. After any natural disaster unsanitary conditions can result as people struggle to survive and as diseases set in. Uncontrollable diarrhea can result in many people and this can be life threatening.
Remember this simple way to stop the diarrhea, often when all else fails.
Boil 6 to 8 carrots with about 3 cups of clean water until they are soft, letting the fluid reduce to about 1 cup. Add ½ cup of boiled pure water to it. Drink this liquid. Adults can also eat the carrots, repeating as necessary until the diarrhea has ceased. For babies, give only the liquid in a bottle 2 to 3 times a day. For children, have them drink the liquid and then mash the carrots and feed to them.
The reduced carrot liquid, full of vitamin A, is an amazing healer and has proven to save the lives of many, including infants.
If there is no medical help available, this can save a life.
Always check with your doctor first if one is available.
