As promised here are some lemon cures for common ailments. I can post remedies for things like Acne... Bronchitis... Cankers... Cellulite ... Colds.... Hangovers.... Headaches... Hay Fever.... just to name a few... the list is way bigger than I remembered but I'll give you what I can out of this book... Hope it helps you, and if you have a specific ailment then let me know and I'll check if I have a cure for you and post it here ;D
HEADACHES Lemon Coffee Mix the freshol squeezed juice of 1 lemon into a cup of strong black coffee. Drink it unsweetened and without milk. If the pain does not subside, take up to 3 cups of lemon coffee daily. ***Lemon coffee is a great antidote if you are sensitive to changes in the weather.**
Lemon Peel Peel 1 large organic lemon. There are two ways in which lemon peels can be used for headaches: ~Bend the lemon peel slightly between your fingers, stretching the outer side of the peel. Then rub it against your temples to massage the essential oil into your skin. ~Remove the layer of the white skin underneathe the peel. Press the inside of the lemon peel against your temples. You will feel a slight burning sensation, but the headache should disappear quickly.
Lemon Oil Mixture for Migraine Mix 3&1/2 oz. (100ml) Jojoba oil with 20 drops lemon oil as well as 10 drops each of camomile oil, lavender oil and peppermint oil, and 6 drops rosemary oil. Massage several drops of this mixture into your temples and onto the nape.

Are you requiring a hangover remedy, Percy?? Here you go.....
HANGOVERS Anti-Hangover Drink in the Morning Add the freshly squeezed juice of 4 lemons, 3 tablesthingys(45ml) of lemon vingear (see recipe below) and 1 pinch of salt to 2 cups(500ml) lukewarm water. Drink on an empty stomach before breakfast. The acid in the lemon juice helps to support and stimulate your stomach function. Lemon vinegar contains an abundance of minerals, among them magnesium. The salt helps to bind the liquid in the body, preventing it from being immediately excreted by the kidneys.
Lemon Coffee for Headaches See above and follow same directions
To Enhance the Effectiveness of Lemons ~Sometimes a hangover can be averted with an athlete's beverage, which is high in minerals and isotones, taken before bedtime. Chinine-containing bitter drinks, such as ginger ale or Bitter Lemon, have also proven effective. However, you must drink at least 3 cups(750ml). Two teasthingys of evening primrose oil also prevents the worst symptoms from developing in the first place. ~As first aid in the morning, eating several fresh apples on an empty stomach has been shown to be effective. ~Exercise and fresh air stimulate circulation, which helps to get rid of the toxins and to ba;amce the oxygen deficiency in the brain. TIP: While painkillers will alleviate headaches and fatigue, they pose an additional burden for the kidneys. Therefore, you should avoid taking them whenever possible. Try to treat your hangover by natural means~~that is, with lemon power.
LEMON VINEGAR RECIPE Ingredients: 4 lemons, 3 cups (750ml) apple vingear Preparation: Peel lemons by hand, taking care not to include the bitter white layer underneath the top layer of the skin. Squeeze out the juice and pour into a 1 quart (1L) canning jar together with lemon peel. Heat apple vingear to 120*-140* F (50*-60*C) and pour onto the peel and lemon juice in the jar. Seal tightly and shake well. Stor for 2 weeks at room temperature. During this ripening time you should give the mixture a vigerous shake every second day. After 2 weeks you can pour the lemon vinegar through a fine sieve. Lemon Vinegar is excellent for dressing fresh salad and as a basis for marinades, for example meat. NUTRITION FACTS: This lemon vinegar also contains the vitamins, minerals and trace elements present in apple vinegar. These include several vitamins from the B group, vitamin E, A, Beta Carotene, Calcium, Calium, Sodium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Sulphur, Silicium, Iron, and the floruide that is so important for dental health.

They came out with a pill that is supposed to take care of hangovers. You can buy it over the counter and you take it before you start drinking.

well that's all fine and dandy... but you can even cure it by drinking as much water as you pee... did you know ABD... that the more meds you put into your body... the harder your kidneys have to work? and the more problems can occurr the older you are?... stick to a natural remedy if you can... for as much as you can... if you can ;D

I've heard that if you have a hangover and you drink water that you could possibly get drunk all over again. I don't know where I heard but I heard it somewhere.
