Potatoes con Vinagre Saved Baby from Burning Fiebre

 

Baby Esther, la hija de la Rosa almost died on Thursday. Tu sabes, Rosa, hermana de Daniel?

We heard Rosa even had to call Juana Gurule. Yes, THE Juana Gurule. Esque she called all panicked saying Esther had a fever of 105 and she couldn't get her to the ER! She was hallucinating y todo. They were all worried. 

Luckily, Juana, our state's FDA approved curandera, took the call. Her immediate response was, "do you have vinegar? Do you have potatoes?" Rosa said.

Rosa described the event. "She had me slice the potatoes, encouraging me over speaker phone with the occassional andale. I soaked the potatoes in vinegar and placed them all over Esther's body. Then I wrapped her in a sheet like a burrito. Within minutes those potatoes turned into chips! Literal chips! A la vaygers! My husband almost ate them! He loves salt and vinegar chips." Ew. Her fever began to go down, drastically over the course of the hour according to numerous family reports.

We called the FDA's Office of Curanderas but they declined to be interviewed, saying, "We call her the Batman of Remedios, you know? Not all heroes were capes." Indeed. Juana is usually wearing blouses. 

Esther esta bien. No more hallucinations and no costly ER visit. We wondered, was it the potatoes con vinagre that saved her or was it Juana? It was both.
