Use Cheerios to sooth a sunburn...

not sure I could sit in a tub of ground cheerios and water but I guess if the sunburn was bad enough I might have to try it...

clipped from www.diylife.com As far back as I can remember there has always been a box of Cheerios in our house. Cheerios are not as glamorous as some of the more sugary cereals, but for better or worse they are a staple in many a household. However, I recently learned that Cheerios can be used for so much more than just a cereal. From what I can tell, most of the uses stem from the fact that Cheerios are made from oats, and the oat is a highly diverse grain. Read on for some useful and entertaining uses of Cheerios. If you are suffering from a smarting sunburn, simply toss two cups of cereal in the blender and pour the mixture into a warm bath. Soak int the water and get some relief from the burn. If you are in need of a moisturizing facial, simply apply a combination of ground up cereal, lemon juice and honey to your face. Let the mixture soak into your skin and wash off. The Cheerios act as an exfoliate and will leave your skin feeling smooth and fresh

POSITIVE OUTLOOK?

Appalling & insensitive article, but I still feel "positive attitude" is important in one's cure in any disease, cancer or not!

clipped from www.ctv.ca Emotions do not affect cancer survival: study People who have a positive outlook about their cancer are just as likely to die as people who are depressed about their disease, report U.S. researchers. The analysis showed that emotional status was not associated with survival rate -- even after the researchers took into account other factors, such as gender, tumour site or disease stage. But he added that there are still benefits to maintaining a positive attitude during cancer treatment. While this study may not end the debate, it does provide strong evidence that psychological factors cannot predict cancer survivability, Coyne says. Coyne's analysis is published in the journal Cancer.
