Oh good news for Mohammed!
Nota, I just call sultanas raisins, but I they are called golden raisins, which is rather poetic, I think. My grandmother was rather big on herbal remedies and taught me a fair bit.
I could do with the cure if you can't taste gin.
Rolo, anything that alleviates pain is a plus as far as I'm concerned.

The wee one had a skin graft operation today in Glasgow. The hope is that it will 'take' and save his sight.

My apologies P, I've just noticed this post Apparently the more golden or yellow the better - I've a rellie in Florida who calls them yellow raisins - even though she is scottish but lived there for 40+ years I'm now nearly finished my second week, I'm told by my aunty that it takes about 4-6 weeks to notice any effects - I'll keep you posted

Trouble is good deeds dont make headlines
We did same for an African toddler, from Kenya I think, that had fallen into a fire. Im glad to say it was successful.
That doesnt however lessen in anyway what you people are doing for little Mohammed.
Its a great reminder that there is still hope with good people around worldwide.

Awwww Bormes, we're talking about a couple of unfortunate kids who've had accidents and need the help of our trained surgeons.
Shit happens to good people sometimes.
I'd hope someone'd come to the aid of my wean should she ever need it.

Not against that roly, I just wish to remind myself and hopefully others that the greatest threat is over population as regards something we CAN do about it. Not sure we can do much about climate change, I think that is a natural change over thousands of years but we CAN do something about birth control, unfortunately too many VESTED. INTERESTS.

found this on little African guy His mum died from a snake bite in 2003 Update from SMH 2009 The whole thing was paid for by the generosity of complete strangers, the hospitals, the staff and surgeons and QANTAS AS I said previously there are lots of very good people world wide.

Excellent story, Oz. Good people indeed. They tend to get everywhere, somehow, don't they? It reminded me of the story of Boy David, many Scots will remember this from probably 30 years ago now? The wee boy from South America had contracted some horrible parasitic disease that ate his face away, he was terribly disfigured. Dr Alan Jackson, a burns/cosmetic surgeon working in the Burns Unit here in Canniesburn Hospital, Bearsden, when he heard about the boy, went out there with his wife Marjorie and brought him to Scotland for treatment. David lived with the Jacksons throughout many years of operations carried out by Dr Alan. They adopted him a few years later. It's been a while since we heard how his path in life has turned out. It's surgeons from Canniesburn that are treating wee Mohammad. We learned earlier that the wee one had a terrible episode on Tuesday just before surgery and had to be resuscitated. However, he went into surgery right away and by all accounts has managed through it. Wee soul. Just 5 months old.
