Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Yesterday was the first time I'd ever tried garlic paste for congestion/lung problems. Brock was sounding like an old man who had been smoking his whole life from having a fan blow on him all night when it got cold. In the morning he was fine, I thought I got off scott free, he just had a tiny bit of a runny nose. He ran around and played, just seemed a little more zoned out than usual. Then at around 3pm BAM! He could hardly breathe and he was coughing (and his lungs made an aweful rattling sound) and he looked like he was about to fall over so I gave him a hot bath and put the garlic/vaseline paste on his feet and he immediately went down for a nap. He woke up every few minutes to cough his little lungs out but he slept for a few hours. When he got up he was very sweaty and miserable and then he had a BIG diarhea, drenched his diaper and sweatpants all the way down to his socks so he got another bath and then it was like he was a new little man!!! His voice got much better and he coughed once an hour or so. He had some energy and wasn't so clingy, I even got him to eat a bunch of vegetable chunks w/lots of onions. He slept pretty good last night and today he has a little bit of a cough and sounds a tad bit hoarse but WOW that stuff worked FAST!!!! Besides his extra strong garlic breath last night nothing negative came of it. : ) I think he would have gotten much much sicker w/out it. It scared me how fast it hit him. He went from runny nose to verging on pneumonia in 1/2 hour time. Well, now I know what to do!!!!!!!!! YEAH! Candace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Candace, I see don posted to you... great. Also you can take garlic, crush it and let it sit in olive oil... then use the oil to rub on the soles of his feet also... works good this way too.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 It's nice knowing there's a way to get garlic in a finicky two year old!!! He'd never hold still long enough to soak his feet (wrapping them was a wrestling match) but I'll remember that for myself! And for him when he's a little older! It was funny, he kept turning towards me while he was sleeping so his garlic breathe was blowing right in my face and I liked it! I used to HATE the smell of garlic! I think I got a little cleansing just from sleeping by him. LOL DH says he never gets sick because he sleeps next to the garlic lady and my fumes heal him. Maybe he's right. : ) Candace ----- Original Message ----- From: Ybarra health Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 4:25 PM Subject: Re: Garlic paste testimonial........... With recently, we just cut up a couple heads of garlic, heads, not cloves, the whole bunch that the cloves come off of, put them in hot water, and soaked his feet in it. And Candace is right! It works FAST!! When he was fevered, we put some ginger in it too. I told him his feet smelled so good I wanted to eat them. He gave me the typical "oh Dad!!!". It was funny, we all ended up soaking our feet together, it just felt so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
