Marina shows us her most effective natural cold & flu treatment and prevention remedy: GARLIC HONEY!
Garlic is antibiotic and honey is antiseptic. Together they make a daily preventative tonic, a strengthening restorative or a remedial treatment. Taking it regularly over-time builds up one's immune system naturally.
MARINA'S BEGINNER'S TIP: When first trying out this remedy start out with very little garlic and lots of honey (as much as needed)! As you get used to it gradually increase the garlic portion to an entire clove. Using this method on children (in combination with having the child watch this clip ;-) will greatly improve the chances of long-term successful intake!
GARLIC INFO:
- Garlic is one of nature's antibiotics because it fights against bacteria, virus, and protozoa (a type of parasite) in the body. Yet there are no nasty side effects as there are with taking antibiotics so there is no risk of wiping out good bacteria, lowering the immune system or building up a resistance.
- A recent study found that the daily intake of garlic reduced the risk of volunteers catching a cold by half. The researchers also discovered that even when those who did catch the cold got over it quicker than the subjects who did not take garlic.
- Just one clove a day will provide your body with vitamins A, B and C, as well as a vast array of minerals including selenium, iodine, potassium, iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium.

HONEY INFO:
- Raw honey (which has not been pasteurized or filtered, and ideally taken directly from the hive) is a treasure chest of nutritional value and medicinal remedies. It contains an abundance of vitamins and minerals and is a natural and powerful medicine, both internally and externally.
- Raw honey is exceptionally effective internally against bacteria and parasites. Plus, raw honey contains natural antibiotics, which help kill microbes directly.
- Greeks and Egyptians used honey as one of their main healing tools.
- Since it is a natural ingredient, it has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medical purposes.
- Honey has been found to ease children's colds, sooth their chesty coughs and promote sleep.
other benefits of Raw Honey:
- fights allergies and hay fever
- aids constipation
- increases calcium absorption
- makes a sterile, painless and effective wound dressing
- exceptionally effective for respiratory ailments

GARLIC BREATH:
However garlic is taken, it leaves the body by being exhaled via the lungs. The lungs are disinfected during this process and the scent of garlic on the breath is proof of its efficiency!
To reduce the garlic breath eat some cilantro right afterwards!
SUGGESTED DOSES:
tonic or preventative: 1/2-1 tsp daily
remedy in acute conditions: 1/2-1 tsp 3 to 6 times daily
* For infants, rub garlic honey on the soles of the feet.
PLEASE NOTE: This remedy along with all other natural remedies work much more effectively when combined with an all-natural plant based raw-food diet.

totally agree with breastfeeding, unfortunately we did not understand this when marina was a baby.
we completely trusted the medical system and marina was suffering from earaches, stomach aches, and serious asthma by the time she was 3
once we took responsibility for her health directly her health improved drastically! no asthma, no earaches, very few short lived and painless colds (more like cleasing really where the body gets rid of the extra mucus)

i suggest looking into the dairy connection to resolve your childs earaches.
we eliminated all dairy from our diet and this took care of our daughter's earaches almost overnight
dairy (esp. commercial pasturized/homogenized) is a non-stop mucus forming substance that greatly increases sickness and poor health.
many blessings to you and your family!

She is so adorable. I gave my son garlic oil since he was an infant. At 2 before he could talk he would open & close his hand to indicate he wanted a garlic oil capsule. He never got sick. Garlic has a history in relation to some who ate it as a food & without effort survived plagues that killed entire villages. Today you have germ warfare viruses. The recent swine flu scare is an unusual combo of swine, bird & human flu & human flu which does not happen naturally. It was created in a lab
