It has cleared up a fingernail fungus that I had for 20-something years. Also, my blood pressure was borderline, but after going on raw garlic in my fresh carrot/apple/celery juice, my blood pressure returned to normal. It's terribly wonderful stuff! If you ever get and read <censored> book entitled <censored> she has a section in there about how good garlic is for the gut and kills many parasites. It's a wonderful natural antibiotic. I'm convinced that it helped keep me from going to the doctor in the winter when I had a bad respiratory infection, along with hissop (oregano). Garlic is a very potent decongestant, too! ---------- I was not the writer of the above lines. Jay The Garlic Nut Garlic doesn't get the publicity it should because - it's too cheap! No one can make money on it unless they claim their preparation is "better" - and it isn't. Nature's wrapper beats any manufacturer's wrapper everytime.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hi: Should've mentioned in my prior post that fungus not only creates lines in fingernails, but can cause the nail to split along those lines. My dad had this problem all his adult life. My brother did too, but recently went the MD prescription cure route. It did cure the nail fungus, but like I've mentioned previously, it is a real liver killer too. By the way, he learned of this MD cure from his son who also had this problem. So, that's 3 direct generations with fingernail fungus. This is not hereditory, it's passed along by using the same facilities. I've not had fingernail problems, just toenail problems.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 <<Some of my clients have done well using tea tree oil, cut 50/50 with olive oil, painted on the cuticles and nails to get rid of nail fungus.>> I've heard that works good for the surface problem, but it doesn't get the source - the fungus in the blood. It will keep popping out somewhere unless it is killed in the blood. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 I was wondering if you could help me, help a friend. She wrote me, " do you know what causes fault lines in fingernails?
