You can never have enough garlic!!

I would also invest in .22 LR ammo. Still cheap enough to buy in bulk. It will be a form of currency when the SHTF.

Not just a belief, allicin is proven to be a great natural antibiotic. Garlic also is a natural blood thinner.

Not saying you’ll never get sick. It’s just a healthy thing to eat that has positive health benefits to it.

You want some nice sauerkraut to go with the garlic? We made about 30 gallons worth this year. You just have to bring back the jar.

This actually works,

If I eat 10 cloves of garlic each morning I can’t get sick.

The only problem is that no one will come within a mile of me. hmm, maybe that is why I don’t get sick? No one to make me sick.

Anyways, it works. Gitsome!Q

Some of my coworkers joke about doing a “Dutch oven” on their wives in the middle of the night, under the bedsheets. Ewwww!

At least I get up quietly, go out onto the deck, close the door behind me, and then KABLOOIE!!!

I like fresh garlic but I’m tired of sleeping in the living room.

;^)

80% of the garlic consumed in the US is imported from China. (so is 90% of the apple juice)

Allimax and Allimed, stop MRSA in it’s tracks, no prescription necessary, 30 bucks, allicin, ie, a Garlic product ...

http://www.allimax.us/products.php

AlliMAX® is made from fresh, raw garlic. Heads of garlic are specifically selected to ensure that they contain significant enzyme activity (allinase enzyme). Garlic heads are split into cloves, which are left unpeeled and then subjected to crushing, filtration and a temperature controlled extraction process designed to produce pure liquid allicin dissolved in water. No chemical solvents are used. The allicin amino acid in fresh garlic is subjected to complete conversion by the allinase enzyme and to ensure a large volume of active allicin is harvested. The volume of allicin produced is directly related to the enzymatic activity.
