The Captain of the ship, boat or whatever rarely if ever gets "seasick"...but others do... WHY? >>>Simply because he has MANY thing to keep him busy..... running the boat.... making decisions of many ..... watching for dangers... making sure his crew and or passengers are safe.... and the list goes on.....His mind is too occupied with other things to think about getting seasick...... whereas... the passengers..... get to watching the boat go up and down... side to side..... the waves and seas attempting to swallow the craft, etc....with the help of the fear of drowning and the assistance of the inner ear..... you become seasick, or suffer from motion sickness....it is the same thing....\n\nBest Prevention:\n\nEat a light meal prior to the boatride...\n\nKEEP your mind occupied.....upon as MANY things as possible........\n\nLaughter and talking.... also seems to help prevent it....\n\nKeep cool.... pour cold water over your head if needed....\n\nand >>> Do not watch someone else vomit....\n\nAnd a little known fact:  IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SMILE WHEN YOU ARE (Truly) SEASICK! so as long as you can smile..... you're OK!

the best home remedy for fevers is tylenol. i just had that flu just so you know right as you start to feel like its over, its going to mutate into a stomach bug. but the best remedy for what your feeling right now go to the drugstore, buy robitussin (not the store brand) and tylenol (not the store brand) take the maximum dose of the tussin which is about 3.5 tablespoons with two 650 mg tylenol pills. that will take care of your fever and aching and probably knock your a ss out.

Amp up on Vitamin C and Zinc. Drink a glass of hot green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the morning.\n\n Eat only fruits and vegatables during the day plus avoid mucous creating foods such as milk, bread and cheese. Fast from eating meat as your digestive system needs to be ridding itself of toxins and meat will slow down the process. Avoid refined sugar in sugary drinks. \n\nAdd a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and wild oregeno oil to a glass of apple juice,  pomogranete juice or grape juice three times a day. Add cayenne if you have mucous in your chest, eyes, ears, nose or throat. Drink six glasses of distilled water each day. Drink three glasses of clean water with 1/4 tablespoon of unrefined sea salt.\n\nDrink a glass of hot Green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the evening with Camomile and take a hot bath before you go to bed. Sit in a bathtub with hot water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon cayenne. Sweat out the toxins and go to sleep.\n\n All sickness comes from the gut. By alkalizing your body and cleansing you will not only cure your cold but also give your body, gut, and skin a wonderful treat.

Gatorade! It works wonders. It's easier on the stomach than water, plus it replaces electrolytes. Get the old style, not the new sugary ones. Any broth, ginger/grn tea (you can get fresh ginger in the produce section in jars by the minced garlic) 1/8 tsp to 1 tea bag. After steeping, add small amount of honey to taste. There's rice made with broth; use twice as much broth instead of water (1/2 cp rice to 2 cps broth), add salt, parsley (if you have it) & ginger. Tastes great. BRAT- bananas, rice, applesause, toast. The main thing is not to eat for a couple hours after vomiting; then, eat or drink small amounts until you know that your done.

Prevention may be accomplished by facing forward and looking outside a car, ship, plane, etc.\n- Staying busy and occupied with an activity that distracts the mind from the swaying environment may help.\n- Gazing at some distant fixed object like the horizon as soon as queasiness sets in may help.\n- Alcohol, smoking and greasy foods should be avoided.\n- Reading should be avoided while in motion.\n- Some fresh air on the open deck of a ship or seeking areas of lesser movement on the ship may help reduce symptoms.\n- Cold compresses may be applied to the eyes and neck.\n- Several non-prescription products are available for the prevention of motion sickness. (Specific products may be recommended by a physician or pharmacist.)\n- If recommended, medication should be taken 1 to 2 hours before travel.\n- Stronger motion sickness medications may be prescribed by a physician if necessary.

My sister gets migranes and uses Dramamine (for motion sickness) and Ibuprophen. She says the combination works like magic.

Try taking ginger caplets before you trave. They help with nausea from motion sickness as well as pregnancy. Also, take those red and white striped peppermints along and suck on those. The peppermint calms your stomach. Sit near the front of the bus and open a window.

I am one to always "cure" myself.  Lots of rest, liquids.  Make yourself eat something even it it's a bowl of broth or crackers.  Sweat out the fever.  Get into the shower.  You won't feel like it but it will make you feel better.  Get your vitamins like Zinc, Vitamin C.  Ginger Ale is all I can take when I'm sick.  It may take a good week to get over.  I just went through this a couple weeks ago---it lasted a good 5 days.

Sounds like an inner ear virus. I had it once. stood up, felt a bit dizzy but though it'd right itself in a few minutes. Got in the car to go pick up my son, turned a corner and fell over into the passenger seat! Luckily I didn't crash but had to pull over and have someone come and get me. I refused to go out in public (happened over my birthday too) because everyone who saw me thought I was drunk. I was sick to my stomach but I suffer from motion sickness too. A doctor can check for it real easy just by waving their finger back and forth in front of their eyes and watching the reaction. \n  My 9 month old son ended up with it too, he was just starting to walk but all of a sudden kept falling down. \n  I have constant vertigo because of it (always a little dizzy) but I've learned to live with it. Hopefully your aunt and cousin will come out of it ok. There's nothing the doctors can do to get rid of it, just treat the symptoms. My doc gave me something to help with the dizziness but I can't recall the name. If you need me to find out, I can try. Good luck to your family.

There is a great natural remedy,but it isn't cheap.\nBook a dead-sea vacation.\nSome people swimming in the dead sea have been known to be without any symptoms for more than a year.\nSo to keep the good results you do have to book the same vacation next year.\nGood luck and good health.

I get motion sick very easily and I am here to tell you that dramamine does not work, at least for me. The only thing that works for me is the patch that you put behind your ear. It is prescription only unfortunately but worth it. Be careful how long you leave it on though. I left one on too long once and I had a horrible case of cotton mouth and I felt a little dizzy, but I left it on overnight which is way too long. If you want to take a cruise, the bigger the ship the better. You don't feel like you are on a ship, more like in a hotel. hope this helps!!

Try putting an inch of apple cider vinegar in water with sea salt or honey and sip continually all day long like coffee or water.  I once did this when I had upset stomach and diarrhea..did for 10-12 hours and by night, I was well enough to go to the play I had tickets for.\n\nAlso try Dr. Richard Schulze's super tonic\n\nhttp://healingtools.tripod.com/supertonic.html\n\nhttp://www.800herbdoc.com/p49.asp\n\nalso recommended--http://healingtools.tripod.com/DS_pages.ht(copied from the last link--\n\nDiarrhea -\nHerbal Formula:\n\nAloe Vera Gel\n\nActivated Charcoal Powder\n\nSlippery Elm Gruel\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nDIARRHEA\nGastric Distress:\nHerbal Formula:\n\n\nLobelia Seed Pod Tincture\n\nGinger Root Tea\n\nGinger Root Tincture\n\nActivated Charcoal Slurry\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nGASTRIC DISTRESS/NAUSEA/VOMITING
