Magical Colds & Flu Recipe and The Wonder of Garlic

I want to share this amazing elixir with all of you. It has been a standby throughout my life whenever I've come down with colds or flus. The recipe was handed down from my mother.

Cut up some citrus fruit (lemons, oranges, satsumas, grapefruit etc) and put in a big jug together with any or all of the following:

ginger root cut up

garlic chopped up

whisky (or whatever other alcoholic drink you like)

a generous gob of honey

You could also add herbs and spices, as the fancy takes you, and then pour boiling water over the lot, brew as a tea, and drink as much as you can as hot as you can manage until you feel better. You can top up the pot with fresh boiling water until the ingredients are exhausted, and then you need to chop up a few more ingredients and start again!

This cold and flu recipe acts like magic. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Garlic

Garlic is the first item in my list of best foods for detox. Garlic cleanses and sterilises the gut from mouth to anus. It creates a harmonious environment therein. It is cooling and cleansing and soothing. It removes unpleasant fats and cholesterols and cleans the liver, encouraging the liver to health and settling all the other secondary organs of digestion. Garlic also cleans the arteries, thereby improving your skin, your overall health and the balance of your mind.

It is recommended that you eat at least one whole clove a day! Do not cook the garlic as this destroys its benefits and never fry it with the onions. If you want to add garlic to cooked food, add the garlic at the end of the cooking time to get the full effect.

For those of you worried about the pungent aroma coming off your skin when you eat garlic, well this just proves how much you need to detox! Indeed it is the indicator of how much you need to detox. Keep at it, a clove a day and you will notice how quickly this smell disappears, proving quite nicely how effective garlic is in detoxing your body and dissolving all those unwanted fats and cholesterols!
