Sore throat
1. Take GARLIC at the onset of a sore throat, scratchy throat or viral pneumonia
NOTE: Garlic is known as nature’s antibiotic/ One mg of allicin (a component of garlic) has the potency of 15 standard units of penicillin/ Garlic is effective against toxic bacteria, viruses, and fungus
* For children: take one garlic, 3 times per day (Crush 2 alfalfa with 3 garlic to help prevent upset stomach)
* For adults: take 9-12 garlic per day to achieve antibiotic effects
* For Nursing Moms: if you take the garlic and alfalfa, it will get to the baby through the milk. It is also encouraged that you take EZ-Gest, an enzyme that will help break down the garlic for the stomach and the breast milk
* For Non-Nursing Moms: Crush garlic capsule and pour it in baby’s sock and leave in overnight (1 capsule per sock)
* Additional Ideas: Mashed potatoes w/ crushed garlic, hummus w/ added garlic, onion soup w/ added garlic, etc.
2. Chewable C for sore throat. Feels good on throat. Gets into the blood quicker if you chew it.
