Garlic: List of Uses and Benefits

Uses & Benefits of Garlic:

Ahhh… garlic, that Italian cure-all. You can hardly go wrong any way you try it. 

Here’s one special way I use it:

First, go to the garden (or the grocery store) and bring home a couple bulbs of garlic. A bulb is the golf-ball size pod of the plant, which can be separated into many cloves—shaped like the individual wedges taken from an orange. Break off two or three large cloves, and lay them on your counter. Set some water on the stove to warm, and then spread out a clean washcloth or double-thick paper towel. Smack the garlic cloves with the bottom of a heavy glass to lightly bruise or crush them. Now the papery skin will come off easily. Take the bruised cloves and dice them up, or smash them in a garlic press so that the juice billows out the familiar aroma that makes you hungry for Lasagna.

Lay the 2-3 tablespoons of minced garlic in the center of your washcloth or paper towel, and fold in the edges of the cloth, creating what I call a “poultice” or “plaster.” Place this garlic pad in a bowl or plate and pour warm (not hot) water over it. Let it sit for 5 seconds or so, then drain and squeeze the excess water out with your hands. Apply the warm (not hot!) poultice to the chest, back, and soles of the feet (alternately) for about 60 seconds each for treatment of any virus, cold, flu, infection, etc…

Garlic poultices can also be used for earaches—placing crushed garlic or a garlic poultice against the infected ear. Also, a clove of garlic wedged in the ear like an old fashioned hearing aid works great for earaches (but be careful not to leave too long, or you will burn the skin!)

For flesh wound infections, hold against the wound lightly for about two minutes. Repeat several times a day.

To treat eye infections, hold poultice over the tightly closed eye for about two minutes. Careful! This burns really bad if it gets in the eye.

Warm garlic oil is also healing and comforting in an ear when there is an infection. The oil is made by adding a few drops of olive oil to a tiny bit of fresh crushed garlic, let sit for a few minutes, then strain out all the garlic and discard. The oil that goes in the ear must be free of any visible particles. You will have enough for one application of warm garlic oil for an earache. I always make mine fresh. Do not make it too strong, because it can burn the skin. Experiment on the inside of your arm to see how strong or how long you can leave the garlic on your skin without it burning. It can literally blister your skin (chemical heat.)

A very weak or mild, warm garlic water douche is helpful for female infections. Douche recipe – pour very warm water over crushed garlic in a sieve. Dilute with cold water until tepid. Check by tasting it, so that the garlic flavor is very light.

Warm water poured over crushed garlic in a strainer, with added vinegar and honey will make a “tea” or “gargle water” that will knock out the worst sore throat or mouth infection.

Tips to Live By:

Don’t wait until you are miserable before taking action! As soon as you feel that sore throat coming on, sip some hot garlic water, and you will NEVER get sick. If you are tough, and your love-life is secure, you can just eat a garlic clove raw. Treat your children as soon as they get cranky; don’t wait until they get an infection.

Garlic is very strong. If the patient’s nose starts running with clear mucus like a dripping faucet, then it’s time to ease off on the garlic treatment. It will open every pore and detox you so quickly and thoroughly, you may be miserable if you over-do it. So, be watchful.

Grow your own garlic! Once you learn how to use it, you will quickly become dependent on it. If you have your own little garlic plot in the backyard, you won’t have to make midnight runs to the grocery store when junior gets a cold.

Read the following book. It will give you many more practical tips and home-care knowledge that will keep you from going to the doctor.  The ABC Herbal by Steven H. Horne is written to help moms learn how to treat their children with herbs. It is short, simple and would be a help for all moms.

Garlic, the Italian Cure-all

What Garlic Can Do For You

A Female Relative's Avoidable Untimely Death

What would cause a vibrant woman to go from glowing health to raging infection/coma in a short span of time? Read the details in her GoFundMe page below which set up by her friend.

She is hubby's beautiful relative. I was in shock upon hearing the news of her death.

Norlyn's Go Fund Me page:

In fifth grade, Norlyn, a childhood friend of mine, travelled all the way from the Philippines to Canada to be with her family. It was there where she pursued her career as a registered dental hygienist.

A month ago, she went to visit her native land to celebrate her 40th birthday with her only son, Daryll. Before flying back to Canada, she decided to get a tattoo done. Despite being aware of the precautions with  having the new tattoo, she decided to go for a swim. Two days later, she had both a high fever and chills, which caused her family to bring her to the emergency room. The doctor told the family that she had an infection that had already spread throughout her entire body. She was kept in the ICU for a few days on life support because of her difficulty breathing; however, the doctors informed the family that there was nothing else they could do to save her. 

On February 10, 2019, Norlyn decided to join our Lord and passed away. Her body remains in the Philippines where her son is also staying at the moment.

I am creating this fundraiser because of the large expenses arising from Norlyn's stay at the hospital the last couple of weeks. Unlike Canada's health care system, the Philippines does not have a system that resembles OHIP implemented and, unfortunately, hospital bills tend to be exceedingly high. In the case of Norlyn, the medical costs reached a million pesos and she did not have life nor travel insurance. This GOFUNDME page is dedicated to provide financial assistance for her family and, particularly, her child.

She was a great friend, sister, daughter and, most especially, a mother. Most of the people who knew her do live in Canada, and the goal of this fundraiser is to bring her back home, so that she can have the funeral she truly deserves where everyone can say their final goodbyes in person. Norlyn was an exceptional person with a beautiful soul and smile. Although she is now in a place of bliss, her family and son, in particular, need all the possible help they can get to cover all the costs and bills that emerged from this tragic event...

*********************

by RRE: 

1. I would not post the above picture if I were not so angry and shocked. Norlyn should have known better -- she worked in the medical field, for pete's sake!!  To risk exposing her vulnerable just-tattooed skin to pathogens is simply very foolish (read stupid) of her and cost her her life. Sad. Sad. Sad. May others heed the warning.

2. Tattooing is part of the practice of a lot of pagan religions. No wonder God warns against it.  Not only does it displease Him, avoiding tattoos could potentially save a life.

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,

 nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

- Leviticus 19:28

3.  Unless Norlyn knew the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, she has perished. She is suffering even more and will be forever in Hell. No escaping -- ever. Endless ritualistic, repetitive prayer by the living will never get her out. No mention of praying for the dead in the Bible. Very tragic death in more ways than one.

Health Alert: the FLU-pocalypse of 2017-18 is Coming!

 There may be ZERO benefits to your getting the flu shot this year. 

Based on Australia's experience as they wrap up their Flu Season, our flu season will be as miserable and will affect many more:

That's right, folks. Things didn't go exactly as planned. The "experts" in the medical field are as human and prone to mistakes and miscalculations as the rest of us common folk.
