Gerard's Garlic Cure for Worms

The last herbal we will consider was written by John Gerard and first published in 1597. Appropriately entitled The Herbal or General History of Plants, it was mostly copied by Gerard from Dr. Priest's translation of an ancient herbal by Dodoens. After Priest died, Gerard plagiarized much of this work without giving due credit to either the good doctor or the original author, so many of the remedies mentioned in Gerard's book come to us from antiquity.

Gerard, or rather Dodoens, believed that garlic was very good for expelling intestinal parasites. If the garlic was too overpowering, it could "be boyled in water untill such time as it hath lost his sharpenesse" and then be more easily tolerated in the system. "It killeth worms in the belly, and driveth them forth, " Gerard wrote.

But in order for it to be agreeable to adults and children alike, it needed to be "boyled in milke, " after which it could then be used "with good successe against the wormes."

For getting rid of ringworm, he advised mixing a little crushed garlic "with tempered honey, and the parts anointed therewith."

Garlic's success for the diverse and sometimes strange uses cited in this chapter depended on its many marvelous constituents. By understanding something about them we are better able to appreciate how this foul herb works in such fabulous ways.

My dad would get severe bouts of gastritis. Siberian pine nut oil worked to completely get rid of it whenever it would flare up, such as after a surgery. He said he only needed to take a spoonful at a time, a few times a day and it would be gone. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the clarification, Rob!

I made up a batch of the drops and used them a couple of times before my son went to bed. His eyes are already looking better. I'm grateful to have this remedy on hand.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up, Art :)

I ended up buying some USP grade pure boric acid in capsules. I emptied out a few capsules and added it to boiled, distilled water. My son's eyes look better after only using the drops 2 times. I used lots of drops in each eye. He didn't complain :)

Hi JT,

I use the ivermectin horse paste labeled “Bimectin.” I chose that one because it's cheap and is a translucent paste unlike some of the others which are made white by the addition of titanium dioxide. I ordered the Bimectin from petsuppliesdelivered dot com. Durvet also makes an apple flavored clear ivermectin paste, which I've purchased off Amazon in the past. Really any of the horse pastes will do since all of them that I've seen contain 1.87 percent ivermectin by weight.

To get 3 doses of 100mg of ivermectin per dose (300 mg ivermectin per day) then you would need approximately 16.05 g of the horse paste per day.

One tube of paste is contains 6.08 grams. I calculated the amount of paste you need per dose is 5.35 g. So nearly an entire tube. You'll need a mg scale to weigh it out. Remember, the paste by weight is only 1.87% ivermectin. So if you take 5.35 grams of the paste per dose, it will contain 100 mg of ivermectin.

Going for the full 15 days at 16.05 grams of paste per day, you'll have taken 240.75 grams of paste in total which amounts to 39.6 tubes at $6.95/ tube. So all in, your cost should be around $278 (plus maybe sales tax and shipping).

If you don't want to go the horse paste route, I can recommend alldaychemist dot com for ivermectin tablets. They sell boxes of 100 tablets at 12mg each. 300 mg of ivermectin for 15 days is 4500 mg total. So you'll need to order 4 boxes of the 100 count 12 mg tabs to have enough. They are selling for $100 a box. They have coupon for 10% off, so you'd pay around $360. I believe the shipping is free. I've ordered several other things from alldaychemist and my orders have arrived in about 10 days or less.

Personally, I use the paste because it's easier for me to weigh out the exact amount that I want so I can dose each person according to their weight. Not as easy to do with small tablets that would need to be divided. But in your case, you can just take 8 and one-third of the 12mg tablets if you end up going that route to get the 100mg.

In addition to the ivermectin protocol, you can add 1 teaspoon of Chlorox bleach to 8oz of filtered/ distilled/ bottled water. Swish for 30 seconds vigorously. Use daily for a couple of weeks. It's very effective in eradicating spirochetes and other pathogens, so hopefully it would eliminate scabies and whatever else shouldn't be there. Then it is safe to continue using the Chlorox solution a couple of times per week indefinitely. I've learned this from a couple of dentists. One of those dentists uses a microscope to check the organisms in the mouth and biofilms from gum pockets. It rids infections and allows your body to create a healthy microbiome.

Melatonin Helps Primary Sjogren's Syndrome

In primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS), two of the most common symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth. pSS damages the salivary glands (SGs), leading to dry mouth and melatonin helps protect the salivary glands from this damage, as discussed in this new March 2024 study :

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38460474/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

Melatonin had the potential to mitigate inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in SGs of pSS by inhibiting the IL-6/STAT3 pathway through receptor-dependent mechanisms. This intervention effectively prevented glandular damage and preserved functional integrity.

I tried buying ivermectin online for rosacea. It was not the real thing plus is very expensive. If you know a site that sells the real thing could you send me the link? I have been taking artemisinin but not working.

  Re: Flax Seed Oil and Cottage Cheese for Arthritis

Hi, Would y please clarify? I want to try the Budwig recipe to see if it will help my arthritis. But I'm confused regarding the ratio of flaxseed oil to cottage cheese. I thought it is 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil for every 2 of Cottage. In this post where this lady used it for arthritis, she refers to the Budwig recipe as being " a tablespoon of flax oil and a tablespoon of cottage cheese daily (the Budwig cure for cancer)....." Are the amounts different for arthritis vs for cancer?

i would caution using 20 mule team borax. it is called Borateam and Borateem is 98.7 percent borax with tribromsalan, a microbiocide, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, an insecticide. I would recommend technical grade borax.

  Boric Acid Mix Helped Eye Issues

How to Make a Boric Acid Eye Wash

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Bottled Water Boiled
  • 1/8 to 1 teaspoon of Boric Acid Powder

Note:

  • 1/8 is a weaker solution
  • one teaspoon is a stronger solution

Directions:

Use sterilized containers to make this solution. My Grandma would boil the water on the stove, turn the heat off and then add the 1/8 teaspoon Boric acid and stir until the Boric acid was completely incorporated into the water. She would cool it completely and keep it in a sterilized jelly jar.

She would pour it in our eyes with a eyedropper when we were kids and she thought we had an infection. I like to keep it in a bottle and soak a cotton ball to put against my eye. It always worked. Boric acid is an antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-fungal. It reduces inflammation and itchiness. My Grandmother also used this on the dogs and I have as well with wonderful results.

Check the Thyroid for Hair Loss

Guys, if you are losing your hair, there is a lot more to it than genetics. You want to periodically test yourself for hypothyroidism, a.k.a. an underactive thyroid gland.

The serum TSH test is not a bad to start with, as it is better than nothing. But the test itself can be misleading; and the TSH is not even a thyroid hormone.

Once you convince yourself that indeed you are hypothyroid, then you will also need to find a doctor who is willing to prescribe a natural thyroid extract. However unfortunately the vast majority of so called doctors will not do that. Whenever they can, they will fight you and oppose you. They will also make sure the treatment you get is inadequate A) because they will drag their feet, and B) because they will treat your test results, as opposed to treating you.

I know, I know, all of this is a lot of hard work...

But your hair WILL GROW BACK!

@ Madelyn

1/8 tsp makes a weaker solution

1 teaspoon makes a much stronger solution

I would start with the weaker solution and increase to tolerance.

  Re: Olive Oil Health Benefits?

Gracie, To answer your question, yes I have taken up to 15 tablespoons of extra virgin oil (EVOO), per day, every day in the last 6 months. However, besides the needed calories, I do not think that I have derived any additional health benefit from EVOO.

These days I buy LARD: Advantage #1 is the more reasonable price. Advantage #2 is the lack of trans fats. Advantage #3 is the taste, if it is combined with Himalayan salt.

You are right. Olive oil is well-advertised, so we keep getting persuaded to make many unnecessary purchases through clever advertising ploys.

Swollen and Sensitive Uvula Causing Constant Gag Reflex

Hello!

I had a infection in my throat years ago, and once it was cleared, my uvula was hypersensitive and it hangs down longer to my tongue since my soft palate is also kind of low. But do you have any remedies for swollen uvula? Or just a uvula that's kinda big and makes my gag reflex go off constantly. I would appreciate the help! Thank you

Dietary Changes for Angina

If you are having left chest pain, or angina, where do you get more information?

All over the Internet there are lots of fear messages written by Medical Doctors telling you that A) you are in big trouble, B) you are having a heart attack, C) you already have a serious cardio-vascular disease, and D) talk to a doctor.

All right, go ahead and talk to a doctor, if the talk makes you feel better.

However, do watch out. MDs know very little or nothing about foods, food choices, food combinations, digestion and indigestion. They will never tell you that your angina is one of the many symptoms of INDIGESTION.

According to U.S. National Library of Medicine, indigestion after eating can occur for several reasons, including eating too quickly, or eating a high-fat meal.

Example: Yesterday night I had angina after eating a combination of 3 raw egg yolks, 500 grams of raw green peas, and 250 grams of butter.

Why? Because it was a high-fat meal. And because raw green peas are hard to digest. An because butter is hard to digest. And because the combination of yolks, AND green peas, AND butter, is especially hard to digest.

In sharp contrast, tonight I had no angina after eating a combination of 125 grams of cooked sardines and 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Why? Because the combination of cooked sardines and olive oil is relatively easy to digest.

I hope this will help somebody!
