I woke up Thursday with a horrible cold. I was completely congested and miserable. My gf said "eat two toes of boiled garlic. Once in the morning and once in the evening." Well, no shite it totally worked. I am pretty much back at 100%. Better than any cold med I ever tried. So, try it if you're sick.

No but I have had a ton of colds and am usually pretty much back to 100% after 3 full days no matter what I do! I will say some Vicks VapoRub all over your feet is pretty money when you have a cough though.

Garlic has strong antibiotic properties. More so than some pharmaceuticals. Also has antiviral and antioxidant effects. It's been used for thousands of years for a wide range of ailments.

Sidenote: If you ever get staph or other infections. Check out all natural honey. I've seen it take out staph in days and some studies on MRSA show it's great against the infection.

I started cooking for myself about nine years ago, and since then, I've developed an affinity for foods rich in garlic, onions, and spices. Also since then, I have not had to go to the doctor for an illness. I've been sick twice - both times stomach bugs.

But I don't get colds or sinus infections any more. Seems like I used to get them every time the seasons changed. I really do attribute my current health to my diet.

boiled garlic will do very little to cure anything. It must be raw or mostly raw and crushed or chewed. You can steam or saute garlic and maintain the healing properties.

Haven't tried Garlic but I'm a firm believer in Echinacea.If I ever feel like a cold is coming on I start taking Echinacea.It's supposed to boost your immune system.

I also take Royal Jelly every day.It's something out of a Bee hive.Get it at any store that sells herbal supplements.

The Legend goes that though out history Bee Keepers lived longer and were healthier than others in their communities.It may be B.S. but I'm a believer.

Garlic oil has helped with ear infections in our kiddos. Doc recommended when they are starting to come down with one, put some in their ears and few days later they are gone.

Warning: your kid will smell like an Italian restaurant for a few days.

Garlic kills staph immediately. That shite is amazing at killing bacteria.
