Put the Medicine Where ? ? ?

This is the latest e-mail going around with medical cure claims

To stop nighttime coughing in a child put Vicks Vapor rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime,
then cover with socks.
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.
In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
The Canada Research Council describes these findings on the part of their scientists
when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children....

The e-mail also states: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

The internet is a great source for information and research, but you really have to weed out the truth from fiction.
The National Research council of Canada denies making any such findings or claims according to snopes
