Day 7 down

Oh man today has been rough!!! I lost a filling a few years ago and every once and awhile it flairs up and hurts sooooooo bad.  Today was one of those days.  When it flairs up I start up on garlic.  Its a natural antibiotic and works wonders in our house.**

  **To use garlic as an antibiotic: take a bulb of garlic and pull out one clove.  Get out a chefs knife and crush the garlic with the flat side of the knife.  Remove the paper/skin from the clove.  Let the clove sit for 10-15 min.  The sitting phase is the critical antibiotic phase which is why garlic pills don't have the same effect.  Then you can chew (ewwww spicy) it up and swallow with a tall glass of water or just swallow it whole. If its a big piece you can cut it up smaller. Take the garlic 2-3 times daily.**

We have used this method a lot and have avoided regular antibiotics several time.  We are usually better by the next day.  Of course if your not better at all by day 2 I would recommend seeking medical attention if needed.  

So like I said rough day today. Breakfast was multi grain English muffin and yogurt. Lunch was 2 slices of thin crust pizza leftover from last night.  Dinner was whole wheat spaghetti with garden vegetable sauce with lean beef. No snacks as I felt crapy and it was hard enough to eat the foods I did. No workout either because movement was super painful and caused double vision.
