Jeanne's garlic "cure" recipe

In: Health|Recipes

18 Nov 2007

This is my friend Jeanne’s recipe for inflammation. It worked for her fibromyalgia several years ago. My own fibro is so bad at this point, I’m finally going to give it a try. There’s nothing like pain for motivation!

Mince fine together in small food processor:

  • 2-3 tbsp or so ground flax seed (I’ve cut it down to one tblspoon since feeling significantly better)
  • 5 large cloves fresh garlic

Add and process well (or dump the above into small jar, add the following, secure lid and shake like the devil:

  • 1/2 heaping tsp. or so powdered Stevia (it’s the green stuff. I buy it in the bulk spice section of the health food store)
  • 1/2 heaping tsp or so powdered Horseradish root (in bulk foods again)
  • 1/2 heaping tsp. or so powdered kelp
    (bulk foods)
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves, finely crushed and fresh as possible.
  • 2 tbsp. or so Braggs Aminos
  • 2-3 tbsp. flax oil (I’ve cut down to one tbsp. since feeling much better) (I use the kind with chili oil and garlic oil added, made by Omega Nutrition)
  • 2-3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar (or more, to make consistency you want for dressing or dip or spread or whatever)

This is the result of research with some of the foremost names in ethnobotany. It’s great on salads, all kinds of vegetables, cheeses, meats and breads, etc.

This full recipe is to be consumed on foods throughout the day. At least the full recipe, each day, every day.

It depends on your also not subverting the benefits with sugars and all the other bad diet habits. I’ve been better about what I consume since starting this, though not perfect. I think the main thing is really trying to up the greens and lessen the bad stuff as much as possible. The more, the better. The only really new thing I’ve been doing though, is adding this concoction, the full recipe, every day. I mix it first thing every morning, without fail. No matter how I’m feeling. Just do it. And good luck, dearly beloved.

-Jeanne

Wish me luck!

About this blog

I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
