So many good things can be said about Garlic. It has been prized since the first records of civilization for its uses in treating wounds, infections, tumors, and intestinal parasites. Modern scientists in numerous clinical trials have concluded that Garlic lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, thins the blood which reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Garlic fights colds, flus, bacteria, parasites, fungus , virus', strep, bronchitis, staph bacteria, and the organisms responsible for cholera, dysentery and enteritis..

 

 

We call it Nature's Antibiotic.

Garlic increases the activity of white blood cells and T-helper cells (natural killer cells), the cells that are central to the activity of the entire immune system.

Garlic is a potent antioxidant and is currently being studied by the National Cancer Institute as it may be effective in fighting stomach, skin and colon cancer.

Garlic bulbs contain the amino acid allicin.

Warning: Using Garlic externally can burn the skin if left on too long. If you have a wart and want it naturally removed you can cut a piece of Garlic to the same size of the wart , hold it on with a band aid, leave it on overnight, take the band aid off during the day to give it some air and repeat the process every night until Natures Antibiotic has made the wart disappears or fall off.

 

Garlic keeps Vampires away. No just kidding. :-) From what I know of Vampires, Garlic won't help much but Garlic is great for keeping other blood sucking critters away such as Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitoes. Dogs and Cats won't get fleas and ticks if they are eating lots of FRESH Garlic and have a good diet. ( Doc's Total Pet Nutrition ) Eating fresh Garlic once a day will keep most of the Mosquitoes away from you. I never get bit except when I don't consume Garlic.

 

Garlic can make you gag if you eat a lot and this is where Ginger comes in. Ginger calms the stomach and is really good for talking the gag reflex away from Garlic.

Make a Ginger-Garlic-Horseradish-Onion-Cilantro-Turmeric-Cayenne tincture to make the Total Tonic that is part of Doc's Total Body Cleanse.

Good for virtually any disease or infection. Improves circulation, maintains healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A natural antibiotic and immune system stimulant.

If I was only allowed to use one herb, that herb would be raw, organic Garlic!!! When it comes to Colds, Flu, Viruses, Parasites, Inflammation, Warts, Fungi and Plagues, Garlic is Nature’s Antibiotic. Garlic kills Urinary Tract Infections and inhibits Leukemia. It reduces Blood Sugar and is the best herb there is for regulating Blood Pressure. Four cloves of Garlic every day will eventually and permanently bring down a High Blood Pressure Condition. Garlic kills and expels worms. It increases insulin production. Garlic works great on Kidney Infections and dramatically lowers Cholesterol. It has been proven in numerous lab studies to destroy Cancer and break up tumors. Garlic has been used as a strength builder and has been highly respected throughout history in numerous cultures as a food used to increase Health and Energy. This herb is vital in helping to remove heavy metals from the body. Garlic has 77 different sulfur compounds and replaces many antibiotics, kills Bacteria, and works great on Strep Throat. If you stink when taking Garlic, this is only your body getting rid of toxins: Garlic + Toxin = Stink. When the toxins are all gone, so is the stink. Should your eyes water when cooking with Garlic or Onions, this is actually very beneficial. The properties that make your eyes water, actually cleanse and kill eye infections. Garlic is great for just about every condition.

 

 

 

 

Growing Garlic

 

 

This great Herb is easy to grow and is the best organic Pest Repellent you can have in your Garden. Growing it interspersed throughout your yard will keep away unwanted visitors. In the fall, plant cloves with the tips pointing up, four inches deep, and six inches apart in direct sun. Watch them pop up in the spring and harvest when the tops start to turn brown. Hang them in bundles or braids in a dry place. Next year plant the biggest cloves to keep improving the strain, and then eat the littler ones.

A garden without Garlic is . . . just not a garden :-)

 

 

 

The Garlic Game:

 

 

When everybody in the house is sniffling, coughing and blowing their noses constantly, its time to play the Garlic Game. First you get the game materials together. Every player needs: One large glass of water and a handful of peeled Garlic cloves. Spin a clove to see who goes first. Player 1 puts one clove of Garlic in their mouth and chews as fast as he/she can, then swallows it down with a sip of water. Player 2 does the same. The first one to refuse Garlic loses and has to eat 3 cloves or stay sick as a penalty. Who ever eats the most Garlic wins. Anyone who eats an entire bulb is the ultimate winner. However, I do recommend you have some food in your stomach before playing this game.

 

You may think that chewing raw Garlic is intense, and hard to do, but try it. It’s not as bad as you think, and no where near as intense as the Chili Pepper Contest. :-)

 

 

 

WHITE SALSA

 

 

 

Nature’s Anti-biotic

 

1/3 cup raw Garlic cloves

1/3 cup raw White Onion

1/3 cup raw Horseradish

1/3 cup raw Ginger Root

1/2 cup raw Apple Cider Vinegar

1/8th Hot Pepper cut–1/8th pepper or to taste

 

Do not stir with a silver spoon. Mixture will turn green.

 

Peel garlic cloves and put them in a blender. Peel and cut onion in half and then into quarters and toss into blender. Wash horseradish and ginger root and cut 1/4 inch circles and place in blender. Toss in the piece of hot pepper and pour the apple cider vinegar over the blender contents and blend to a thick applesauce consistency. Add more apple cider vinegar if needed to blend. Should your salsa end up too watery, then strain off some of the vinegar and use it on a salad. Do not allow this mixture to contact silver. Store in a pint jar. Refrigeration is not required but you can keep it in the fridge if you like it cold.

 

Eat as a condiment or dip. A number of people have told me they really like to use it as a salad dressing.

 

Some of you who have made Total Tonic will recognize this recipe. Yes this is nature’s anti-biotic as well as a delicious food. Its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties will keep you healthy and if you do feel an illness coming on, we recommend taking a spoonful of White Salsa every hour until your symptoms have disappeared.

 

To make Total Tonic follow the above recipe except pour the apple cider vinegar just over the top of the blender contents and blend. Your Total Tonic will be the thickness of a thin gravy. Put the Total Tonic in a jar and shake several times a day for 14 days. At the end of the 14 days, you can strain off the liquid and you have Total Tonic. Whenever possible, make your Total Tonic on a New Moon and press it on a Full Moon. This practice is an ancient one and ensures the most potent results. I personally think that this particular formula is stronger when it is first made and mellows with age. We recommend that you have at least a pint on hand at all times so make it often!
