Inside every egg are three parts: the thin albumen, the thick albumen, and the yolk. For this remedy, you want the thin albumen—the clear, runny liquid that comes out first when you crack the egg. The thicker, gloopy stuff that follows? Not your guy.
Here’s how to do it right:
1.Crack a small hole in the egg and carefully collect only the thin albumen into a cup.
2.Whisk it like your life depends on it (vigorously! ) until it’s frothy and bubbly.
That froth? That’s where the magic happens. Without it, the egg white’s potent healing properties won’t fully activate. I’ve only ever seen this fail when the prep was done wrong. Try it, see for yourself, and pass it on!

I grew up with egg whites as a home remedy to relieve pain and speed up healing of burns (ones that had no broken skin). When radiation ended up being part of my cancer treatment I religiously followed up every treatment first with compresses of a solution of baking soda with water followed by raw egg white compresses. My radiologists were shocked that my VERY pale skin did not burn and blister. Aside from a bit of redness, slight itching and a couple of very small blisters I sailed through radiation thanks to this protocol.

The Iranian study also suggested using garlic as an antibacterial ointment. There is so much healing in nature that we have forgotten in our rush for ”progress”
I was recently bitten by insect unknown in Portugal. My skin swelled in painful itchy seeping bumps for 3 days before a local reached down and plucked a “weed” from the field we were working in. He squeezed the yellow sap from the stem onto each of the swollen bites. Immediate relief! The next morning no sign of irritation and no scarring....I usually scar badly.

Strangely, the second best was LABS (lactic acid bacteria serum), as I had just made a batch and thought I'd give it a try. Obviously, it's not ONLY probiotics so...not sure what that's about.
Did not get to try mustard as I didn't have any and mustard seed is a remarkable herb so I'm sorry to have missed that.
I tried cold water, which felt good but only as long as I had my finger(s) in it (this is when I got enough relief to realize I'd also burnt both adjacent fingers).
Alcohol - not good but if that was all I had, I would not hesitate to use it.
Castor oil - no - not for the kind of speed one needs if one is working. No doubt, a castor oil wrap left on overnight would have done the trick but that wasn't the purpose of my experiment.
Aloe vera - no - not for speed.
iodine - that did pretty good, pretty fast - good enough for 3rd place and may have been even better if I'd actually immersed it in some Lugol's but I merely applied it.
ozonated olive oil - actually, that would be tied for 3rd place. A little quicker than the iodine but I was actually judging speed so we're talking seconds here.
I have some comfrey salve but it's not very "strong" and it's old, so I didn't try it.
Also didn't try oregano oil - wish I had because I just got some oregano seeds in the mail...oh well...
The blister is down and appears to be disappearing from the bottom up, getting narrower and narrower. Initially, It was my entire finger tip but now it's less than half that broad, with normal skin appearing to spread upward, reintegrating it...very interesting....might try the dmso/urine thing again and see what happens. In fact, I'm going to do that right now...I've been wondering if DMSO would actually extend the life of the stem cells...that's why I've been using them together, due to the stem cells in urine and the use of DMSO in tissue preservation.

I burned my hand while holding a thermos bottle and pouring boiling water into the thermos bottle. For whatever reason the boiling water exceeded the mouth of the thermos and burned the back of my hand, between the fingers and the inside of the hand. Got the hand under cold water ASAP and left it there to cool it down which really helped prevent blistering, though the tissues did swell. Once the hand could leave the running cold water for a bit, I applied egg white to all of the burned area and then some. Let it dry and went on with the chores of the day. Within 1/2 hour of having the egg white on the horrible intense pain was gone and all that remained was very tender tissue. Needing to wash my hands a few times with the chores of the day I continued reapplying egg white for the rest of the day so that the hand remained with egg white on it for a good 8 hours during the day. Come night, there was still some very tender skin across the knuckles that attach the fingers to the palm of the hand and I opted to apply more egg white, let it dry, put a glove over the hand and go to bed for the night. Come morning the tenderness was still there, but less. With the immediate cold water and putting on egg whites as often as I felt was required, there are no blisters and the burn is healing quickly.

After burning two fingers with hot water!, I first tried 1 Egg White!! This took the pain away, instantly! 10 mins later I used melipona honey over the area, wrapped it - and now, 2hrs later, its like it never happened! No bumps, no bruises, no injured areas! Its like it never even happened.
This was a bad one though, so I had to soak the burned area for, like, 10 whole minutes!!

After patting the burn dry we applied colloidal silver gel.
The burns were blistering. I did my usual treatment of plantain leaves and comfrey salve but after a a couple of days it seemed to be staying too moist. We switched to silver gel.
I applied a thick layer of silver gel to a gauze pad and held it on with cohesive tape. We were very impressed with the progress from the silver applications! The dressing does need to be changed twice a day or the bandage can stick to the wound and tear of tender new skin.
You can buy silver infused bandages on amazon, but gauze pads are cheaper, and I always keep silver gel on hand for burns, poison ivy, and other skin infections.

I immediately put it under cold running water for many minutes to take out the heat. (An important step, because the heat retained in the skin can continue to burn the skin.)
I had just restocked my silver gel supply with a new for me brand. (Silver Miracles.) The pain stopped instantly when I applied the gel. I never reapplied the gel or did anything else. The pain did return but was not bad.
The next morning, in a hot shower, I didn't even notice it. (That is when I usually am reminded of a burn.)
I mentioned this to my neighbor. Interestingly, he said sliver gel works the same for him, but for his wife it doesn't seem to help as well. Everyone is different!
I had actually restocked the silver gel because my son uses it as part of his poison ivy regime.
Anyway, Silver gel is worth keeping on hand! (No pun intended. :))

On day 3 small blisters showed up anyways; they were small and painless, but blisters can be a real problem. So I put 1 nice cold egg white on it. I would dunk my hand, then pull it out and let it dry and did this for 4 coats of egg white. I covered with more honey over that, wrapped in loose gauze overnight, and now the next day, no blisters and it feels great! Thanks, Earth Clinic!
Happy healing, everybody.

I told him to call me from the hospital once she has been seen by a doctor. Well, about one hour later, he called me to tell me that he had explained to the doctor that “a friend” had suggested they wrap the hand in vinegar. Her pain had disappeared about 15 minutes after that.
The doctor removed the plastic wrap and the vinegar cloth and discovered her hand was completely normal with no signs of a burn or blistering. He touched and poked the parts of the hand that were burnt and his mother-in-law said “no pain at all”. The doctor told them he really did not know of anything else to do the hand but keep a watch on it. Doctor also said your friend was pretty smart for thinking of this remedy. It saved her from a 2nd degree burn.

I'll explain why. I believe it is antibacterial and anti inflammatory. It's easy and clean to apply and doesn't get in the way like foil would. I use essential quality lavender oil. I like now foods brand. I just apply a sufficient amount on the burn. But first I ran my burn in cold water or ice water. Reapply if it still hurts.
I really feel this is the best remedy of all for burns, but hey if you don't have it, maybe you have foil use that. If you have a serious burn please go to the Dr. I ask that you donate to this site if you have been helped by a remedy, any little help. God is love - Sunny

I’m allergic to NSAIDs so I couldn’t take any of that either. The next day and for the next month my lips and half of my face remained swollen. I couldn’t eat or speak.
A week later I drank some ginger tea with honey, thinking it would help and well, it only made the inflammation worse and more painful.
I’ll share with you what finally helped and what I think could’ve made everything better from the beginning.
1. Rinse with water. Water has to be lukewarm, never cold of freezing as it can compromise circulation. Just tilt your head and let the stream flow over the injury for several minutes.
2. Do not apply oils or any other substance. I used Vicco Turmeric Cream cream around the lips but never on the injury. The turmeric cream completely subsided the pain.
3. I didn’t brush my teeth with toothpaste as it made it worse, I just rinsed with water or with water and a bit of salt, to prevent an infection. If your toothpaste is not strong, I’m sure it’s better to use that. If you do use water with salt, rinse with plain water after a few minutes, otherwise it’ll dry the skin of your lips.
4. After 2 weeks of little improvement and once the wounds were healed, I began placing my lips under the running water of the faucet. This time the water was as cold as possible. This reduced the inflammation greatly.
5. One month after the burn, seeing the inflammation didn’t subside, I used an anti-inflammatory cream meant for muscle injuries, I applied an amount smaller than a pea along the sides of my face, almost next to the ears. This finally reduced the inflammation in about a week.
I hope this helps somebody.

Anyhow, I have included some pics of my burn as proof of AV's incredible healing power.
On my left hand I had a burn so severe that it had a double blister. It only took 6 days to heal thanks to AV.
My right hand finger had a small burn, that I didn't really feel so it got no AV. Notice the pic with both hands. The small burn was still healing while my left finger was completely healed. I cannot imagine how bad it would've been or the pain if I had no AV.
It's best to put the leaf on asap to better heal it. This burn hurt so bad I was putting a new leaf every 5 mins, thn 10, thn 20...until it no longer hurt and I left a leaf on. Thereafter I changed leaf 3xs a day...til it healed. Its important to have it on constantly, especially the first 2 days. If you leave it off the burn may com back, that's how I got a double blister. I thot it was healed but it wasnt and developed another blister.
I love my AV plant. The older the plant, the more powerful and lower leaves are the oldest....so get an AV plant today..
