Garlic

  It's not a huge secret that people tend to whisper only to specific people in their own private circles...this crazy holistic, all natural secret. I smile just thinking that it could be.   
  I grew up with a mom who, whenever one of us kids fell ill, would pump us with garlic soup. It made me gag, and pretended often to be "just fine", even when I was sicker then sick. Anything to prevent having to consume that soup.  That crazy soup would have us feeling better within 4 hours. Fevers would break, the chronic urge to sleep would vanish, and the churning of stomach acids would settle. I give it to my kids now!  
  Garlic can heal diseases that doctors give up on. They are so apt to pump people with pills...then more pills for the crazy side effects that come from the original pills...and so on and so on.  Its crazy.  Doctors rarely give the person alternative options.  I know I have NEVER ever had a doctor suggest I drink wheatgrass juice, or spiralina.  I wish I had though. That would have been refreshing.
  Fresh garlic has many active constituents including alliin, allicin, alliinase and unique sulfur compounds. Allicin and the sulfur compounds of garlic are the ingredients primarily responsible for garlic's potency as an antibiotic, anti-viral and a fungicide and for its use in treating high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and for helping to prevent certain types of cancer, as well as its use as an immune stimulant. Allicin is a strong antibiotic agent produced when the alliin and alliinase are merged together, as happens when a fresh garlic clove is crushed or chewed.
  Garlic Home Remedies

Garlic is an invaluable medicine for asthma, hoarseness, coughs, difficulty of breathing, and most other disorders of the lungs, being of particular virtue in chronic bronchitis, on account of its powers of promoting expectoration.

An older remedy for asthma, that was most popular, is a syrup of Garlic, made by boiling the garlic bulbs till soft and adding an equal quantity of vinegar to the water in which they have been boiled, and then sugared and boiled down to a syrup. The syrup is then poured over the boiled garlic bulbs, which have been allowed to dry meanwhile, and kept in a jar. Each morning a bulb or two should be taken, with a spoonful of the syrup.

For ear infections: Wrap a small piece of garlic in some tissue, and insert it into the ear. Leave it there overnight if possible. Pain is almost immediately removed and the infection tends to start clearing up overnight. See our full article Garlic can Fight and Cure Ear Infections

For scratchy throats: Put a small slice of garlic in your mouth and suck on it for 10-15 minutes. You can put it between your teeth and cheek, then scratch it with your teeth a little to help stimulate juice from the garlic slice. This juice slides down your throat and removes the pain.
