The Best of Home Cures That Work: Weird Remedies, Brain Health, and the Omega Oil Truth

This was the final Thursday edition of the Home Cures That Work webinar, and Dr. Scott Saunders used it to share some of his favorite discoveries from years of writing and seeing patients. He opens with the strangest home remedies he has ever watched work, from rubbing a lemon peel on your temples for a headache to slipping a bar of soap under the sheets for nighttime leg cramps.

From there the conversation moves into the ideas that changed how he practices. He explains how the brain keeps growing when you keep learning, why insulin resistance quietly drives fatigue and weight gain, and why the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 oils may matter far more for your heart than your cholesterol number. He then answers an hour of viewer questions on allergies, osteoporosis, statins, hyperbaric oxygen, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Saunders covers:

• Weird cures that somehow work: lemon peel on the temples for headaches, a bar of soap under the sheets for leg cramps, and bentonite clay for stubborn diarrhea
• Why eating eggs can actually improve your cholesterol balance, thanks to lecithin
• How your brain builds and prunes connections, and the one habit that keeps it growing as you age
• Why insulin resistance drives fatigue, weight gain, and even Alzheimer's risk, especially in women
• The omega-3 versus omega-6 story, and why balancing your oils may matter more than cholesterol
• The four blood tests that reveal insulin resistance long before diabetes shows up
• His take on strontium for osteoporosis, methylene blue, statins, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy
• A fresh way to think about carbs: separating your fat days from your carb days instead of mixing them
