Garlic is the greatest of them all. Perhaps a return to home cooking, real home cooking, is an answer to thwarting the next disease to threaten us. Many people survived the virus designed in a lab. What better way to eradicate 'rival' humans! A mention of diet to keep the virus at bay was rarely mentioned if it was mentioned at all.
You will laugh at me but my thinking has always been 'outside the box', as the tired saying goes. Following trends is not my thing, never was. It is a cost that never ends and has no basis. Who are these people instructing us to buy this or that? I have never met them. I am not a trendsetter. No thank you. To be given that label is to be seen as someone with all the answers to food, design, home, furniture and colour trends. I love all colours. Shopping without bringing home anything is the best trip of all. Discovery learning is in play.
My husband is colour blind so when our next house had main colours of black and white tiles in one bathroom, I followed with white and grey to compliment the room. I painted and added simple but delicious lacy curtains, He was entitled to be comforted by colour as was I. Black in a bathroom is unheard of, I thought. But we thought of it as normal for us. The vanity was all black. It is in need of replacement now. We saw its replacement recently. It will be grey wood with black accessories. I love wood, wooden floors, wooden furniture and of course garlic, my friend for life.
The stuff in our house is decades old. But we like what we like: well made and desirable. Constantly replacing this or that might mean its purchase was made too quickly. Replacing anything is prudent when repairing has no merit. Being simple with simple clear cut tastes makes sense to us. It is financially prudent, always. When it comes to food the same policy applies. Foods from my past were simple and repeated often throughout the week.
Garlic is #1. I love it to this day. Thank goodness. It is now considered a superfood and responsible, in part, for health stability. And, I have learned, it contains 33 sulphur compounds that fight illness and disease.
In an old episode of Bonanza, "Bitter Water", cattle were dying of Texas Fever. This disease had a 90% mortality rate. The only thing that could save these animals from this tick borne killer that destroys red blood cells, enlarges the liver was sulphur baths. Sulphur I asked? That seemed amazing. I thought of the 33 sulphur compounds in garlic. My. My. Could we now have a remedy in the kitchen that can perform astounding feats of healing the human body while strengthening it against the next 'invisible' disease?
I have heard that previous vaccines, given to children on a prescribed schedule, be trained to adapt to new threats to the human body? Could they be redesigned to thwart the spread of new viruses to come?
Sulphur, remember the name. It's power cannot be overlooked. I now have a new found respect for these compounds found in garlic which I have loved since childhood. Dessert does not stand a chance.
