Alex L. - Arlington Education and Employment Program (REEP),Arlington,Virginia,USA

Instructor: Mary Kay Alegre - Bolivia

Ingredients:

• 2 or 3 cloves of garlic
• 12 ounces of whole milk
• 1 mug

Cut the 3 cloves of garlic in 6 smaller sizes; drop the cloves in the 12 ounce glass of milk. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator avoiding the danger zone temperature of 41F to 140F. The danger zone is when parasites and microorganisms grow fast causing food born illnesses. PROCESS: The garlic when it is mixed together with milk will looses a juice that is the right combination for colds, influenza, asthma and other illnesses as well. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: My uncle says that his mother always used this home remedy for the flu and other illnesses that attack our lungs and respiratory system, people who are allergic to milk & garlic should not use this remedy.
