I took the winner's cup or the fight is on part 2

Well, after I found out that to gain the greatest benefits from garlic is to consume at least

5-6 cloves daily the cold that was trying to get a hold on me lost the battle! Yay for garlic!

Oh and for those of you who guessed that dh did eat garlic as a self-defense, yep, your

guess was right.

I stopped eating the garlics and started just chopping them up and pouring hot

water over them and letting them steep for a couple of hours. Then would

just chug it down. Funny I couldn't taste the garlic but the after effect, mouth

lips, tongue burning, were there. Never the less I'll do it again to prevent a

cold or flu!

1 entire head of garlic, peeled

4 red hot chiles peppers, stems removed, chopped

4" horseradish root, peeled and chopped

4" ginger root, peeled and chopped

?Warning. Hot chile's, such as jalapenos, habaneros, and serranos,

contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. Avoid direct

contact wit these peppers. When working with fresh chiles, wear

rubber gloves or disposable plastic gloves, or cover your hands with

small plastic bags. If your bare hands touch the peppers, wash your

hands and nails well with soap and hot water. If yo get some of the

oils in your eyes, flush them with cool water. Oils from chiles can

transfer to knives and cutting surfaces, so wash tools and

surfaces with hot, soapy water after using to prevent the oils

from transferring to other foods.

I've got my boxing glove's on...it's a fight!

For the last four days or so I've been feeling

rather congested in my head

and woke up sneezing like

crazy...so I decided to test

the garlic tea remedy.

Yuk, I didn't like it so I just

ate a couple of garlic raw with

water to wash it down.

I did this every morning

and night. Well, the cold never

got worse but it never did

get better either!

It just so happened my Garlic book came in the

mail yesterday, so last night I read and found

out that I needed to be taking in a lot more

garlic than I had been.

So today I had garlic tea with onion, no lemon

no honey. I had about 5-6 garlic

cloves in it. It really wasn't bad.

I did this a couple of times and for

dinner I had chicken noodle soup with you

guested it garlic and onion LOTS!

I don't know if I'm getting used to

the garlic flavor or my taste buds

just don't recognize the unique

flavor of garlic but I kinda like it.

I felt a little worse this am when I woke up

but after the garlic felt better.

Again tonight I was really starting to

feel my chest hurting and

again after the garlic I'm feeling

pretty good.

Time will tell if this garlic

will work for me.

I know your wondering

did dh eat garlic as a self-defense...

what do you think? LOL

Hot Cup of.....

Garlic, lemon, and honey to kill a cold...thanks to Candy Jane @ EarthHeartWho shared her garlic tea that kicks

a winter cold.

yes, garlic! Just crush about

six cloves of garlic, toss

in an empty mug. Add some boiling

water and let it steep

for ten minutes.

Add some honey for sweetness

squeeze some fresh lemon juice enough
for your own taste and enjoy sipping on a tea

that is working for you.
When the mug is empty just plop those

garlic 'jewels' to quote Candy into
your mouth and chew them up, swallow,

and if you like, brush your teeth afterward.
I know you'll smell like garlic

but hay, look at it like this,
would you rather have people
avoid you because you smell like garlic
or

to have them avoid
you because your sick?
Me, I don't mind smelling like garlic
if it means I'll suffer less or not
at all with a cold!

ahchoo!

:-D
