I remember my mother giving me something for nutrition because I was too thin. She thought a healthy kid should look chubbier, I guess, and thought I was dying of malnutrition, so she would give make a drink (or shake) made from Malta Goya (a malt drink), add sugar and a raw egg to it. It was very sweet and I liked it, but I see now with the added sugar it was not very healthy. I dont even want to mention hee what she did for my constant earaches.
When I was in Spain once I got sick with what seemed like the flu-- with a very sore throat, so out in the middle of a mountain village, my ex's aunt who was about 85 at the time, gave me something she made for my throat, and put it down with a twig. I nearly gagged... I dont even know what it was but it was some kind of medical concoction of hers.
