You have to detox off all meds for at least 5 days for this to work. Imitrex interferes with the healing properties of the tinfoil. [smiley=laugh.gif]

Was it tin foil or was it just plain aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is for making hats not chewing. Try the tin type.

With all due respect, If one of my kids suggested that, I would kick their ass!

You might very well be onto something here. I used a remedy that was handed down over the centuries. It involves boiling asparagus bark shavings (you can retrieve these from those ends you cut off that are woody and hard) boiled in a tincture of sasparilla and swamp water obtained from LaFayette but only that which was specifically runoff from the Macher catchment. After much experimentation I found that the preparation was that in which the tin foil from the cover of an old casserole dish of moldy Italian ziti, soaked in the resulting liquid for three hours would work. Now here is the amazing part: This didn't work eiither...just like your "cure.". Amazing huh?

(apologies to anyone who interupted their "watching paint dry" to read this. Please go directly back to that much more rewarding activity.)

Chewing tinfoil only works if you are standing at the point of 4 states and during a lightening storm. Otherwise, stick with the Trex! ;;D

I understand the kids thinking. Make something else more unpleasant than the pain in the head. We sure try alot of stuff dont we? Didnt I read in here once that hot sauce squirted under the tounge may help? Well, at least ya tried it, and I wont have to go through the unpleasant experience. EEEEEEEEEewwwwwwwww In a way, Im kinda glad it didnt work, (sounds as bad as grabbing a spark plug wire) but if you would have had good results, I would have bought a roll of aluminum foil. BTW---grabbing a spark plug wire on a running engine doesnt help either.

I could've told ya about the hot sauce. I eat lots of it and it's never done anything except help with the VICUPS....
