"After using all conventional anti-nausea medications. I called a teledoctor. I am vomiting daily from nausea. I have a lesion in my brain. Even the doctor said this would sound strange. But taking rubbing alcohol wipes and breathing in the fumes lightly over 10-20 minutes has a great effect reducing the need to vomit. I found a medical study showing it to be non-hazardous to pregnant women. Also, a study compared 30 minutes of 70% isopropyl alcohol fumes vs. Ondansetron or both. 70% isopropyl alcohol fumes were found to be quite effective. It's a hard balance though. I find it makes my headache worse if I breathe the fumes too deeply/frequently."

"As a topical disinfectant, it works. There are better chemicals. Alcohol can permanently reduce muscle mass. By pouring it over an area, it disinfects. But it also can damage the muscle cells from reproducing properly. As a central nervous system depressant, it can make you drunk. I became an alcoholic, and now that I've stopped, blood work showed my liver and kidneys to be in good health. But my red blood cells are 'large,' are 'babies.' They're not fully grown and don't carry hemoglobin properly. I take B1 as a supplement. It's going to take time, months for recovery. Plus, I need to request another blood test, which can be a long wait. I take the vitamins. I feel better. Useful drug in some situations, very problematic in others. I'm sure everyone has a story."
