Comment on Home Remedy: Eat Raw Garlic to Cure a Sore Throat by Carmen Garcia

I must say that I couldn’t have found this article at a better time. A couple of days ago I started to feel my left nasal passage drip and once it hit the back of my throat, it started to sting. By the end of the night, both sides were dripping causing an “acidic” sensation onto my throat as it became more difficult to swallow and impossible to sleep. I knew I was headed for trouble for the next few days. I typically don’t get sick, but I think my immune system was low from my own negligence and too many “cheat meals” per day.
The next day I was fully clogged up with a head and chest congestion. I opted for an over-the-counter medication to alleviate the symptoms of sinus pressure, drippy nose, sneezing and slight dry cough, even though I am opposed prescription “meds”. I’m consider myself to be an alternative self-healer via natural herbs, nutrition and home remedies.
Needless to say, I remembered how garlic is a potent anti-bacterial against viral infection food. I headed straight to the local food market and purchased two large bulbs of garlic organic. I could not figure out how to ingest raw garlic without making a funny face and giving up. So, as usual, I googled raw garlic recipes. Although I didn’t find a single recipe that sounded appetizing, I ended up using my creative “foodie” instincts. I love cooked garlic in foods and the only other way I would eat it raw is with some Italian bread, but I needed to stay away from starchy foods and dairy during my detoxification processs.
I ended up with a raw salad that was quite enjoyable.
After a couple of bites, I experienced a tingly and warm sensation down my throat and in my stomach, which went away shortly afterward. I’m very excited to feel much better within minutes! It opened up my nasal passages for optimum breathing capability! And my sneezing and coughing subsided significantly.

Immune Boost Raw Garlic Salad
1/2 cup diced organic baby tomatoes
1/2 cup peeled diced organic cucumber
2-3 peeled garlic cloves
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil with omega-3 DHA
You gotta try this! http://www.pompeian.com/oil_OlivExtraPlus.html
1tbsp chopped parsley
dash of dill weed
dash of salt or salt substitute
dash of pepper

This salad is pretty pungent, but great to help you breathe again!

Hablo poco Espanol… Combinar el suelo y la compostera in el Tumbler. 2 partes suelo, 1 parte compostera. No comprendo el segundo question.

amigo…

¿no importa que la compostera no esté en contacto con el suelo?

¿no dificulta eso el intercambio microbiano o de la fauna del suelo hacia y desde la compostera?

hey shebshi. still getting used to it but mostly I like the manual settings (f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, focus) for getting exactly what you want. Now we just need to hark back to the days of tony hertz and remember it all… Then of course there’s manual-setting video.

I got this one too for work. And I like it but haven’t fiddled around enough with it to love it. If you find cool stuff to do with it let me know, other than the ghoulish pics!

Update: Used raw garlic again last night to fend off a cough and sneeze. It worked! We also read that Project Runway host Heidi Klum eats a clove of raw garlic once a day to stay healthy. Another celebrity endorsement!
