Benefits of Flour
Permalink  

I don't know if this is true, but if it is, it could really help someone one day... good to know...

 

 

Subject: Fw: Benefits of flour...

 

 

Some time ago, I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to

see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water....!!

 

A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house as I was screaming

& asked me if I had some plain old flour...

 

I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the

flour for 10 minutes.

 

He said  that in Vietnam, there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag

of flour all over him to put the fire out...Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never

even had a blister!!!!

 

Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 min., pulled it out and did

not even have a red mark or a blister & absolutely NO PAIN.

 

Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. *Cold flour feels

even better than room temperature flour.

 

I use the flour and have never ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister!

 

I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes .... the pain

was gone and no burn.

 

Try it . . . Experience a miracle!

 

Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did!

 

Flour has heat absorbent property and also has a strong antioxidant property,

thus it helps in burn patients if applied within 15 minutes.

And those who post crap that may be a serious, maybe life threatening danger to others have a moral obligation to check it first.

The medically accepted first aid treatment for burns is to immediately immerse the area in cold water and keep it immersed and call an ambulance.

Cheers,
Peter

OP stArts his thread with "don't know if this is true" then goes on as if it is ? Duh ! Surely we are responsible to post after we have checked it out ourselves ? If we cannot or do not get a satisfactory answer then post stating you have tried to check it out. Why post something that even looks like it is a furphy and expect us all to fall for an obviously stupid way to treat a burn....really ??

What about egg whites? With egg whites, flour and coconut oil and the heat from the burn you could bake a cake!
