I Never Get Sick Anymore

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

 

I have some personal experience with garlic.

 

Some years ago I was dating an organic chemist from

Yugoslavia. He was at that point employed by a large

pharmaceutical company, but had done research on garlic at his

own expense. He found that allicin, the active principle in garlic,

is formed only when the garlic is crushed, as its components

reside encapsulated in different parts of the garlic clove. Allicin is

not very stable, and is destroyed by heat or any form of

processing, so it must be taken in raw form, either first crushed,

or chewed. He told me never to take any kind of garlic pills,

however they had been prepared; the raw clove was the only

thing that had the anti-microbial effect.

 

About 5 years after I had known him I contracted Epstein-Barr

virus. I had been very ill for awhile, and suspected the worst:

Maybe Lupus or some other systemic autoimmune disorder. I

was diagnosed as having E-B by an allopathic practitioner, who

found titers for all parts of the virus in my system at a sufficient

level to cause infection. She had no remedy for me, though, and I

went home in despair.

 

I started reading many books about natural healing, chronic

fatigue, etc, and I experimented on myself. Finally I discovered

the remedy that actually cured me. I put raw garlic cloves and

carrots in the juicer and drank the resulting noxious brew. It did

feel like liquid fire going down, and gave me stomach cramps.

But about an hour afterwards I felt much stronger. My body has

always responded very quickly to the proper medication, so I

knew I was on the right track.

 

I didn't enjoy taking the garlic-carrot cocktail. It was horrible. But

after a month I had completely recovered from the Epstein-Barr. I

knew I was getting better, in fact, when I found that I had the

energy to hang a new shower curtain. Yes, it was that bad.

 

Many people who don't know any better have told me with great

authority that they didn't believe that I'd ever had E-B. No one

recovers that fast, they said. But I did. My immune system WAS

" down " for some time afterwards, and I kept catching the flu or

whatever was going around. But I never had another attack of

Epstein-Barr. This was 15 years ago, and my interest in and use

of herbal medicine has only increased . I go to a TCM practitioner

when I feel a bit " off " but I am actually a perfectly healthy

50-year-old. I know that my health is a great gift.

 

I still take garlic quite regularly, chewed as part of a meal. It's

best when the meal is spicy. For instance Indian food or eggs

rancheros are good accompaniments to my garlic tonic, LOL.

IMO too many people don't want to do something that tastes or

smells unpleasant in order to cure their illnesses, and this is

unfortunate. The garlic drink tasted and felt like fire going down. I

don't care how it smells on my breath, because it works. The

Chinese herbal preparations taste even worse. They work better

than anything I've ever experienced, and I never get sick

anymore.

 

Cheers,

Fran

medicinal purposes for at least five thousand years. The Greeks

and Romans used raw garlic as an antibiotic, to cure coughs, to

heal wounds and sores and to prevent colds.
