Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, You and Your Child - Teamwork at Its Best!
Feel Good to Look Good Garlic - everywhere you turn you see attention-grabbing ads and editorials on garlic and apple cider vinegar.
Just stand in a grocery line and there it is again - a newspaper or magazine featuring the benefits of Garlic and Apple Cider Vinegar.
Is it just propaganda or is there really something to all of the hype? THE Legend BEHIND GARLIC AND VINEGAR When the bubonic plague (black death) went on its own killing spree in 1721, french cities were hit so hard they were unable to keep up with the burial of the dead.
As the huge numbers of corpses piled up they were a death trap for survivors as they were highly infectious.
In a desperate bid to stop the spread of the disease french authorities released prisoners to help bury the corpses.
As a result most of the prisoners died.
However, one team of four convicted thieves survived to tell the story.
What did they do? Legend has it they drank large daily doses of vinegar thoroughly steeped together with garlic.
The concoction became known to this day as - four thieves vinegar and is still sold today under the same name.
GARLIC AND VINEGAR - A family LEGACY Growing up my mother was a die hard when it came to Apple Cider Vinegar.
It was the cure all for EVERYTHING.
FOR her family of 11 'stairstep' children WE GREW TIRED OF HEARING THE WORDS TAKE 'APPLE CIDER VINEGAR'.
As I got older it was great to hear people call my mom and rave about her recipe of warm water, honey and apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of castor oil for asthma and how for the FIRST time they did not have to take their child to the hospital's emergency ward.
interestingly, none of us children ever had asthma.
When I finally married and had children it wasn't until I had my fourth (and last) child in 1995 that I finally learned about garlic.
Thus began my love affair with garlic and vinegar.
It would have saved me a lot of anguish had I learned much sooner.
As an herbal user my 3 boys hated taking all the concoctions I prepared for them.
after a while they hated everything herbal or conventional as long as i gave it to them.
But I was mom and I generally won out.
My youngest born was a girl and it was quite a difference.
She fought me all the way WHEN IT WAS TIME TO TAKE MEDICINES regardless if it was delicious (so I thought) or not.
I finally had to give in one day when she was bogged down with a flu virus and a temperature.
YOU WOULD THINK SHE WOULD HAVE GIVEN IN.
BUT NO SHE KEPT HER LIPS TIGHT AND BAWLED and twisted her way out of taking the medicine - regardless of aches and fever.
What was I to do short of taking her to the hospital's emergency department for treatment? It finally occurred to me - make an ointment rub - from the garlic:- So I chopped fresh garlic (the tiny garlic is the more potent), apple cider vinegar together with a vapor rub and oil (safe: edible or skin oil).
Blend it all together as best as can be done till smooth.
I simply waited until she fell asleep, rubbed it on both feet and hands, covered each with a sandwich bag- yes, sandwich bags, (not ziplock - fold-away - or substitute) and covered her up well - and VOILA! I checked ON her overnight and the fever was broken - by morning she was ready for a good meal and JUST AS bright and playful as ever.
I thought this was probably a one off.
But no, it worked every time.
For throat infections I simply rubbed the throat WITH IT and put on a hot water cloth and covered it(she loved it!) or a hot towel in the dryer and she loved it on her neck - sort of works like a very comfortable WARM neck brace.
My very first encounter with garlic was actually in 1995 when my father suffered a major stroke.
This is another story which I will have to condense for another time.
