Garlic and other herbs

[Guest guest]

Over twenty years ago I treated my son's ear infections with tincture of

echinacea orally and garlic oil drops in his ears. You can put chunks of

garlic in olive oil and let it set for a week or buy the already prepared

oil. Being protective of my sons health, I would bring him in to the doctor

a week later to make sure it cleared up. I was able to avoid antibiotics

for years. I also cleared up strep throat with goldenseal root, and of

course got him re-checked to make sure it was gone... There are some herbal

remedies that just plain work but you have to be very consistant. You can't

just take one or two pills a day like with many drugs. You have to be on it

every couple of hours.

I am not against the occasional use of antibiodics in an emergency. I just

hate to see them over prescribed. They did give me antibiotics in my IV

during my hip surgery in Belgium. I wasn't going to mess with my herbal

remedies for something like that. I didn't however take any when I got my

teeth cleaned several months after surgery. Dr. De Smet said I didn't need

to. I took an herbal formula and lots of garlic just in case!
