Ordinary eggs contain little or no w3 but there are 2 makes, of which
one is called 'Columbus eggs' (from hens fed on a special grain diet
devised by a Belgium group) which contain relatively large amounts of
w3 oils. They are produced in UK and are widely available.

That was Edward speaking and not me

Our elder daughter works for the NHS and she has caught scabies,
ringworm, nits and chicken pox from a patient. Fiona has a rule that
she will always change her clothes and shower when she returns home and
she will not put her "dirty" clothes in the same laundry bag as as the
family.

As I owe you a favour for a shrub, I have 2 x Savon de Marseille of 300
grammes each, which is 72% huile d'olive, I will send them to you on
Monday.

JudithL at home

p.s. I am off to France on 7th February for a few days, does anyone
want me to bring any back? If so email me and if you live locally,
i.e. Norfolk, I will deliver it free.

I see it's available from

Damned expensive way to wash one's face, if you ask me, but you didn't.
While doing the brief Ggl, I was shocked but not surprised (if that's
not an oxymoron) to see that the Body Shop sells something it calls
"olive soap" which is actually just ordinary palm oil soap with a trace
of olive oil: another reason, apart from the nauseating smell, to avoid
the Body Shop.

The Nyons soap has a very high percentage of olive oil, can't remember what
it is at the mo. Not meaning to cast aspersions on Judith's very nice offer, but
the products are not the same! In any case, the savon de Marseille will certainly
keep you going for a while.

Sacha, Arran Aromatics do an 'Olive Oil' soap, and it's very good.
It might be easier to source...

Many thanks, Anne. A LOT easier, I should think. It might be interesting
to get both and compare, though. What a dangerous life I lead! ;-)

You're a love to think of it but I've just this minute ordered from the
Arran site. Don't send me anything until I've tried these out! ;-))

I've ordered the Arran product and once I hear back from France about the
Nyonsais shipping costs, I'll order from them, too if it's not too
horrific. It will be interesting to make a comparison and certainly, none
of it will go to waste!

Not just the face! But no, I wouldn't want to buy the sort of thing you

Our Grannies knew a thing or two about cures when there was nothing
else available. Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are
too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil.

I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled
and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for
earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if
that was just Granny's solution or if others used it.

When I first entered the Health Service ***** years ago, I worked in
Haematology and worked with patients with blood diseases. I would
spend part of my day putting patients onto a cell separator which
involved cannulating them so that their blood circulated through this
machine. In those days, when I left the ward, I took off my white
coat and put it into the laundry bag and then went to put on my
outside clothes before leaving the hospital. Nowadays, you see
youngsters getting into their cars in white coats! When I took a lunch
break, I would always take off my white coat before entering the
canteen and so did all my colleagues, it was common sense.

I'm afraid that I know nothing about ward work now as my work is
totally related to postgraduate education.

I can remember my late Father telling me about his little brother who
was operated on at home by a surgeon in the 1930's and that the
surgeon told Granny at the time that he was safer at home than in the
clinic.
