Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks for the good word Dean. You're a good student and handled it exactly the right way. Make an herbalist out of you yet. ;-) In Health and Love, Doc Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - Dean Blehert ThetaNet Thursday, December 22, 2005 7:13 PM [ThetaNet] A win on Doc's products I want to put in a plug for Doc. Shillington's products. Yesterday, after being very foolish and sitting in a not-to-warm room for about 10 hours straight working at my computer, without stopping to stand, stretch, drink, eat or anything else, then eating finally (first meal of day) at 11:30 p.m. (I'd gotten a bit to engrossed in what I was working on), I found I had flu symptoms -- lay in bed aware of being stuffed up, liquid in throat, head feeling a bit out of kilter, etc. It wasn't full-blown yet, but it was already bad enough that I found I couldn't get to sleep. So I got up and took a large dose of Doc's Total Tonic and another of his echinacea (it zings!). Then I chewed up a garlic clove (with a bit of flax seed oil). The garlic clove was not from Doc, but was based on his advice. I went back to bed and soon began to feel fine again. Just to make sure, about 4 hours later I had a second dose of the above (including a second garlic clove). I also took some C, but in the past C alone has not stopped the symptoms dead like this. All three products helped. I think the echinacea sort of switched the immune back system on -- Tues. night at a Christmas Party, I'd eaten sugar. The tonic is always bracing. But what really seemed to do the job was the garlic clove. I could actually feel (as I lay in bed afterwards) the garlic spreading out somehow through my body, creating tendrils of warm energy. The raw garlic seemed to go after the symptoms and quash them. The Total Tonic includes garlic too. I may never be able to breath directly at anyone again! Doc advised me earlier that the reason he recommended swallowing garlic (half a clove in olive oil) is because the garlic, if fresh, actually burns the skin exposed to it (in the mouth, for example) -- not just a spice burn, but an actual tissue-damaging burn (minor, of course, but not optimal), whereas in stomach and gut, where there's already lots of acid, it doesn't do this. Cloaking it in oil and swallowing it prevents the burn. On the other hand, it's healthy effects are increased if you chew it and let it mix with saliva. So I simply put enough oil in my mouth to cloak it somewhat and chewed the cloves, which worked fine. Dean Blehertdean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
