Flu-away
Another highly effective antibiotic herb that many of us take for
granted is garlic. Garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of
years and clinical studies have shown garlic to be active against
strains of bacteria that are now antibiotic resistant. Garlic is

and parasites. Fresh garlic is most effective. Add some freshly
crushed garlic to any of your meals, mix it into soups, learn to
make garlic herb pesto or make a drink out of it.

1 cup of very warm water

Ginger Tea
1 inch or so fresh ginger root, sliced thin or grated
1/2 a fresh lemon, sliced (peel & all)
1 clove garlic, mashed
~2 c water
Very generous spoonful honey
Place water, ginger, lemon, & garlic in saucepan; bring to boil,
then
turn down heat and simmer gently for 20 min. Strain into mugs and
add
lots of honey. The tea *will* get stronger if you let it sit! Most
invigorating! The garlic adds a bit of bitterness, but the honey
masks
that. This tea is very soothing to the throat and warms and opens
the
chest and nasal passages. Plus there are all those vitamins and
other
good things! I now make this tea at the first sign of a cold, which
helps me fight it off. I find it more effective than the commercial
hot
lemon remedies, and of course cheaper!

Green tea leaf (Camellia sinensis)
Qing cha ye, "green tea leaf":
bitter, sweet, cool;
Lung, Liver, Heart, Kidney
This herb has become a cherished daily beverage for hundreds of
millions of people.
Green tea is also increasingly famous as being among the most potent
available antioxidant foods.
One major theory of aging and mental deterioration is that it's
caused by the 'free-radicals' in our diet and environment which take
their toll upon our physical and mental functions. Certain
antioxidant substances may potentially slow down this process of
deterioration. Green teas powers over heart disease, cancer, viruses
and tooth decay are the subjects of ongoing research and
documentation. Some of the most impressive constituents are types of
catechins called polyphenols. In AntioxEnergy we have used two
different concentrated extracts, one standardized for polyphenols
and the other for green tea caffeine in order to deliver 90 mg of
each per tablet. 2, 7
