Allium sativum

Garlic's resume would read something like this: cholesterol lowerer, blood pressure reducer, blood sugar balancer, cancer combatant, fungus fighter, bronchitis soother, cold curer, wart remover and immune system toner. And don't overlook garlics previous employment as a vampire deterrentor its potential career as an organic pesticide.


   -just got my hands on this book and am amazed by the health benefits you get from garlic. and a variety of other herbs. it even explains how to shop/prepare/and make your own organic remedies. garlic is one of the first herbs my friend had me eating raw. this book is very interesting and exciting.

... This popular herb may improve immunity by stimulating some of the body's natural immune cells. Studies suggest that garlic may help prevent and treat breast, bladder, skin, and stomach cancers. A recent study of women in Minnesota suggest that women who eat garlic may lower their risk of colon cancer. Garlic appears particularly effective in inhibiting compounds formed by nitrates, preservatives used to cure meat that are thought to turn into cancer-causing compounds within the intestines.

... Brushing your teeth or nibbling on fresh parsley after eating garlic can help keep you socially acceptable

I understand Prabhatsinha I also had to take garlic raw in the morning to get rid of my brother in law. I drank down so much of it that it came out of my pores as I walked down the hall towards him. He couldn't stand to be around me. It was effective.

hi into
I can send u seeds of basil/tulsi.

[Katze]

hi Prabhat ! 

Thank you for your kind offer to send me seeds of basil /tulsi. I had forgotten the basil & tulsi connection, thanks for the reminder.

Just yesterday I bought two basil plants, so you don't have to send me any seeds, but I thank you for thinking of me and for your kind offer.

hugs,
Into Blue

I have been more attracted to garlic over the last year using it in many sauces, soups, sandwiches and salads. I was surprised; a friend and I went camping; we wrapped some in tinfoil over the campfire. It was delicious with baked potatoes.

On a side note; I looked at some of the people that put entries here over the years. I spent a lot of quality time with Katze. She has now left us and gone on to the next sphere. But she visited me once from there. And I will never forget it. I pray for her continued journey in spirit and am grateful for a wonderful friend. Also haven’t heard from prabhatsinha and should pray for him as well.
