Ahhh sarcasm, lowest form of wit.


Whether you believe in it or not, amber has been used for centuries in Europe, it is pretty much the norm to see teething babies and toddlers wearing amber teething necklaces in Europe so whether you liken it to snake oil or not, there must be something in it judging by how popular and widespread it is in certain countries.


I find it does not alone stop my little one's teething pain but it certainly does decrease the dribbling and red cheeks. So I use that along with Ashtons and Parsons granules.

I'd be less worried about the possiblity of strangulation and more worried about the corrosive effects of succinic acid, which is the 'amber oil' that is supposedly released. Although as the amber has to be heated to an awful lot higher than body temperature to release the oil, you're probably ok.


But they look pretty and make mums feel like they're doing something, which may be worth whatever the charla... oops, vendors charge for them.


There's lots of stuff that popular and widespread in certain countries that's still a load of rubbish. The french swear by hepatitic protectors and chloronics to maintain their health. Doesn't mean they have any effect at all, though.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
