I Never Get Sick Anymore - Wonders of Garlic

[Guest guest]

Dear Fran,

 

I really enjoyed your story about how garlic helped you. I've had

great success with garlic as well. I put raw garlic in my grandson's

ears when he had an infection. I'd cut a small piece on all sides,

crush it and put it in his ear(s) with a little olive oil. Within 5

minutes he stopped crying and his ears weren't red anymore. And he

didn't have any more problems, until the next time he got an ear

infection.

 

I had the flu a couple of months ago and only started getting well

after taking crushed raw garlic marinated in olive oil every couple

of hours - I took a tablespoon at a time. I found that I can even

eat raw garlic with my evening meal and there is no smell the next

day.

 

A garlic tea can be made for colds and the flu. Boil about 5 cups of

water. Take it off the heat and add 5 large cloves of garlic,

crushed, and also add the juice of one lemon or more. Let it steep

20 minutes before drinking it. You can add some vegetable juice if

you don't like taste. But hey with a cold you can't taste anything

anyway. LOL.

 

For people with candida (yeast overgrowth) garlic is great for

killing off the yeast, and is inexpensive too.

 

The wonders of garlic eh?

 

Cheers, Bee

Bee and Fran --

 

I believe I have a " candida problem " , and was interested in your

advice concerning garlic. I'm going to try it for awhile, before I do

anything more expensive (am thinking about Threelac). Tonight I

crushed a clove of garlic, chopped it up, and put in tomato juice. It

really wasn't too bad.

 

Please let me know if you (or anyone else) has any thoughts on this

combination.

 

Thanks,

quiltbear

Michael,

 

Thank you for responding.

 

I'm just starting to research the candida issue on the internet. I'm

going to try some of these more natural inexpensive " treatments "

before I purchase Threelac. And I need to alter my diet quite a bit.

Have been craving carbs in a big way for about a month. :-(
