How many cousins did Mother Teresa have?
We have no record of any cousins Mother Teresa may have had.
Were the things Mother Teresa did popular at the time?
If helping the poor and dying were popular at the time, Mother Teresa would not have needed to do the things she did. She filled a niche that was not being filled by others.
What school did Mother Teresa build?
Mother Teresa built a school in the slums to teach young children who couldn't go to school.
Did Mother Teresa permit use of pain relief for the sick?
A:
Apart from simple painkillers such as aspirin, no. Mother Teresa saw beauty in suffering. She explained, "There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ's Passion. The world gains much from their suffering." For her, anything that she might otherwise have done to alleviate pain and suffering was pointless.
Aroup Chatterjee, in his deposition before the committee for beatification/canonization of Mother Teresa in February 1998, stated that she herself had never declined painkillers or anaesthetics.
Catholic Answer:
In 2007, ten years after the death of Mother Teresa, use of strong analgesics in India remained severely inhibited by virtue of numerous factors including in particular the Indian Narcotic Substances and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985. In 1998 the Indian government had instructed all state governments to simplify their narcotic regulations, but state response was slow. The government of West Bengal (in which Kolkata is situated) responded in 2012, amending the applicable regulations in order to simplify "the process of possession, transport, purchase, sale and import of morphine or any preparation containing morphine by 'Recognized Medical Institution.' The advanced treatment Mother Teresa received for an increasingly aggravated heart condition (which eventually killed her) was said to evidence her personal hypocrisy, while the factors that impelled the Missionaries of Charity to prolong her active life were ignored. She herself, at an advanced age, attempted to resign as Superior General of the order, but the sisters were unanimous in re-electing her in 1990 when she was already 80 years old. The use of aspirin to relieve mild to moderate pain in those suffering terminal cancer remains standard practice worldwide as approved by the WHO

How did the people of the slums of Calcutta thank Mother Teresa?
A:
Perhaps surprisingly, the majority of the poor and destitute of the slums in Calcutta apparently saw Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity as largely irrelevant in their struggles to live. As one impoverished man told a reporter, the people were rarely lucky enough to receive a meal from Mother Teresa's order, instead finding other, less well publicised charities better able to assist them. The well-to-do people who had little exposure to the slums or to the work being done there, were effusive in their praise for Mother Teresa.
More than a million people are said to have lined the route of her funeral procession, and many threw flower petals from windows and rooftops. But the desperately poor of the slums were not those at the windows along the route nor were they showering the coffin with petals.
Answer:
The poor of Calcutta showed their love of Mother Teresa at the state funeral held for her where over 15,000 were able to attend in the stadium where it was held. The sisters at her mother house in Calcutta had requested that half the seats in the stadium be reserved for the people she served - the poorest of the poor. The seats were filled quickly and an estimated crowd of at least a million people lined the 5 km funeral procession route. Mourners showered the coffin with flower petals from windows and rooftops and hailed her with waves as the body went by. About 15 minutes into the procession, crowds started to push into the street, trying to touch the coffin, as police surrounding it tried to keep mourners back.

What did Mother Teresa do to help society today?
Let me answer your question with a story that has been around for years:
One day a man was walking on a beach when he saw another man coming the other way who appeared to be dancing. As he drew nearer he could see the man was not dancing but was gently picking up starfish from the beach and throwing them back into the sea.
"Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?" He asked.
"Because they have been washed ashore, the day is getting hot and if I do not throw them back they will die." Replied the dancer.
The man looked around him and saw that the beach went on for miles and that there were many thousands of starfish along its length.
"But there are too many" he protested to the dancer "you can't possibly make a difference."
The dancer smiled, picked up another starfish and gently tossed it beyond the waves, back into the sea.
"I made a difference to that one!" he said."
So, we might not see the changes that Mother Teresa made to the world and might not have even noticed if she had never existed. However, she made a difference in the lives hundreds of thousands of people - one at a time.
Was Mother Teresa perfect or did she have any bad times?
Of course she did! Mother Teresa often felt that she had been abandoned by God and even doubted at times the very existence of God. She hung in there and kept her faltering faith alive by devoting her life to doing what she felt that God, if He did exist, would want her to do.

Supposedly, Mother Theresa of Calcutta travelled to the Himalayas and obtained some tibicos from the Tibetan monks so she could distribute them amongst India's indigent folks -- to improve their health or cure their illnesses.
It is mixed with water to produce a beverage that supposedly is healthy and can cure or prevent various disorders.
They are known by many names such as tibi, water kefir grains, sugar kefir grains, Japanese water crystals, California Bees and Tibetan mushrooms. They are a culture of bacteria and yeast held in a polysaccharide matrix created by the bacteria. The microbes present in tibicos act in symbiosis to maintain a stable culture. Tibicos can do this in many different sugary liquids, feeding off the sugar to produce lactic acid, alcohol (ethanol), and carbon dioxide gas which carbonates the drink. Tibicos are found around the world, with no two cultures being exactly the same. Typical tibicos have a mix of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc bacteria with yeasts from Saccharomyces, Candida, Kloeckera and possibly others. Lactobacillus brevis has been identified as the species responsible for the production of the polysaccharide (dextran) that forms the grains.
Some of the alleged preventive and curative properties of this enzyme drink are: - It cures migraine and headache. - It strengthens bronchial tubes and the lungs. It cures asthma, reduces phlegm and removes cough. - It improves the function of the liver, pancreas, bile ducts.

It also cures different illnesses of the bladder, and helps one to urinate regularly and well. - It cures insomnia and dizziness. Removes pain produced by the nerves. - It burns fat. And for those who are thin, tibicos help them remain in good health (it is recommended that one should take 3 glasses of tibicos before breakfast. - It avoids pain associated with aging. It reduces the effect of hormonal changes. - It cures herpes, cataracts in the eyes, acne, and other skin problems.
