Right,
Fuck your thread Jimbo, I've just read on Facebook that 3 people I was at school with, having recently had babies, have decided that putting amber necklaces on them will stop teething pains. HOW CAN FOSSILIZED RESIN STOP PAIN?????

I'm fairly sure Windy would've mentioned this before. I mean, if I were Danny in Grease I'd tell people all the time. It was a very successful movie and continues to be a critically acclaimed musical all over the world.

It's the sort of thing we'd know about, were it to be true.
I'm really quite confident that he is neither Danny nor indeed any one of the cast of late 70s coming-of-age 1950s musical film 'Grease'.

from the photos it looks like a necklace,
that could easily choke the child to death if it was to slip and get it caught on something.
It's not chewing, it's crystal energy. It's total bollocks.

A friend of mine works long hours so gets her retired mum to do her housework for her
She came home one day to discover that one of her ornaments was missing from the fireplace.
She discovered it some hours later in the garden. When questioned about it, her mum stated, without a hint of embarrassment, that "it looked like it needed re-energising, so I buried it in the earth next to a tree."

add mead to that
