If you have dry skin, apply Vaseline on skin and massage for a few minutes before going to bed. You will see an amazing difference in the morning when you wake up.

I must've missed these great replies Andrew!  Some great info there.  I'm having similarly postive experiences resolving life-long dandruff with being VLC/ZC these last 2-3mths.  It hasn't completely gone yet though so I will try your suggestions using suet/marrow.  Thanks.


Sorry Tyler.  I didn't see your post.  As far as I'm aware he's no relation but nobody in my family has made extensive strides in family genealogy. All I know is that the Fitzgerald's were apparently knights that came over with William the Conqueror.

That's interesting.  I wonder if his wife sits among my family tree somewhere?!  Do you know any details about her?  Wouldn't that be incredible if we could both trace our family tree back to her?!  I find it bizarre that Edward would decide to change his name for that of his wife.  Do you know why he did that?  Have you ever made a visit to Ireland Tyler?  I went to stay with an Irish ex-girlfriend's mother 5 years or so ago who happened to live in the same region that the Fitzgerald's castle ruins stand.  Of course, I went to see the ruins but there was little left.  I don't know if there are other Fitzgerald castle's remaining elsewhere in Ireland.  I'd be interested in studying the family history a little more in-depth when I have the time.

Regarding cold showers. I've been doing them for a few years. I haven't had a cold since I started them.

About 8-9 years ago I did them for a year. I did get one cold, which was still a big improvement. The reason I quit was because I had ears jammed full with earwax.

When I restarted the cold showers, I decided to clean out my ears weekly. On week A, I use an ear syringe (a kind of rubber bulb that you can buy cheaply at any drugstore in the US) filled with warm water. On week B, I put some olive oil in my ear and let it sit there for a few minutes. Then I turn on my side, and let it drain while the oil sits in the other ear. (I don't eat olive oil, but I do find it helpful for this purpose.)

I believe Lex Rooker says that he stopped getting earwax once he went to eating only raw meat. I've been all-meat, but raw, not cooked. It seemed to me that I was still producing earwax.

When I used to take hot showers, I would stay in the shower for a very long time. I suppose that the hot water would somehow find its way in my ear and dissolve the wax, even though I never made any effort to clean them.

Now that I take daily cold showers, I try to stay under the water, standing still, while I count to 60. At this time of year, in New York, it can be a challenge.

One method is to finish your hot shower with a cold burst. I just started cold turkey. But I started in the summer. That made it a lot easier.

All plant oils when applied topically cause the skin to flake & dry ...

Use raw butter or raw cream, you guys shld know better lol
