have to agree--garlic IS CHEAP,very cheaP
and not called the russian penicillin for nuttin either-

take a coupla cloves....dice them up
put them in a small clean glass jar
add the juice of 1 or 2 fresh lemons--enough to "double" the level in that small jar---garlic first then the juice

let it sit for about 15 minutes
take a tsp of THE LIQUID--3-4 times a day /adult
follow by a good glass of water

fixes just about everything--

use it (liquid only always)--on a clean rag for insect bites,infected cuts--will also cauterise cuts and of course it STINGS LIKE HELL but WORKS

you will NEVER SMELL of garlic either.

the lemon juice draws out the action of the garlic.


make it fresh every day
refrigerate

for sore throat/strep--
garlic as well
and
make a cup of tea with THREE tea bags--i keep the cheeep generic for this as well-
so make that tea and when IT IS A SAFE temperature
you GARGLE WITH IT and all the crap will come out
and the tea acts like an astringent--
do that 3 times and IT'S GONE.
