My grandmother would eat Vaseline for stomach ulcers and diverticulitis. I was sitting there one day as a teenager and she had a Sams size jar of Vaseline sitting on the counter. I made a comment on it and she said "Oh, that reminds me" and took a spoon and got a big scoop and swallowed it. I wish I had the look on my face when I saw that one for the first time.

My grandad would use horse liniment on his knees when they hurt.
