This was sent to me. Sounds wonderful if it works........Make your own judgment.
"My experience with burns is this:
Once I was cooking some corn on the cob and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water. A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house just as I was screaming and asked me if I had some plain old flour...I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes. which I did. He said that, in Vietnam, a man was on fire and, in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out. Well, it not only put the flour out, but he never had a blister!
So, long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolut- ley no pain. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself, I use the flour and never once have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister! Cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour. It's a miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did. Once I burnt my tongue, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes and the pain was gone without any burn. Try it but don't run your burn area under cold water first!

Loren had her first burn last week and it was pitiful. Didn't really leave a blister, but it sure hurt!
