BUSTING MYTHS ON MOTHER'S DAY

Remember the good old days when summer vacations meant a trip to your grandmother's house? Those were the days, weren't they? Grandmothers are indeed a blessing in our lives. They spoil us with toys and treats our parents wouldn't let us have. They are the best thing that's happened to us since the discovery of pizzas! We all have a soft spot for our grandmothers. They love us unconditionally and make us feel special in their unique ways.

When I was a child, I used to play football with my friends near my grandmother's place. I often fell and hurt my knee, which would bleed. My grandmother would then comfort me, wipe my tears and put some sand on my wound to help it heal. This worked well a few times, but one time, I got a fever and had to stay in bed for a whole week. It turned out that I had contracted tetanus, most likely from the sand my grandmother had put on my wound.

My grandmother had many such remedies. She was always wary of any nursing mothers close by and had stocked fresh ground coconut oil and castor oil.

It's already 2024, and I have substantial evidence that proves most of it doesn't work. It has worsened conditions, particularly the so-called "miracle drug" of grandmothers - mother's milk.
