My 76 year old Uncle read in your column about the use of Black Strap Molasses to clear up varicose veins and having some significant veins showing in his foot he decided to give it a try. Having had blood clots in his legs Uncle George has been taking Coumidin and other drugs to hopefully stop any future clots. An unfortunate side effect, he has experienced the most excruciating ITCHING on his legs which NOTHING has been found to help. He has tried ice packs, heat pads, lotions and potions, creams, cortizone, and even tried soaking in boiled water - he was in so much pain! Much to his surprise and relief, fter just a few days of taking 1 tablespoon of the Black Strap Molasses the nightly itch in his legs completely DISAPPEARED. He's been itch free for almost a full month! When I asked him about his varicose veins he says he no longer cares whether they go away or not! He is an avid fan of yours and wanted me to write you on "the voodoo machine" (my computer) to let you know how happy he is with the results! So "Thank you from Uncle George (and his niece) in Colbert, WA!"
