In my 20s, I was getting such severe flus in the winter, I was worried, plus I kept getting ear infections, yeast infections, my joints were stiffening, and my heart would often flutter.

Then I got so sick I almost died.

So I pulled myself together, dumped red meat, white flour, white sugar, most processed food, and switched to whole, organic food.

After I'd gone through detox for a couple weeks, hacking up stuff from my lungs due to eating meat, I suddenly had a surge of energy and had double my stamina when jogging.

Also, I never had colds, flu, ear or yeast infections again, and I'm 66 years old.

Still, eating a clove or two of fresh raw garlic at bedtime will break up congestion and help your immune system fight back.
