Heart attacks, colds, flu can be prevented. This drink is formulated to bolster your immune system, clear your circulatory system, and help you resist colds and flu.
A mate of mine was scheduled to have a by-pass operation. A booking was made for twelve months after he was diagnosed (thanks to our wonderful government for such fast service).
Then he heard about a simple, natural remedy and decided to try it. After taking two tablespoons of this refreshing drink for a year he returned to the doctor. Imagine their surprise when the pre-operation tests showed his arteries had cleared up and he no longer needed the operation after all!
It’s easy to make:
Ingredients:
- 1 x cup lemon juice
- half to 1 x cup garlic juice – depending on your taste
- 1 x cup ginger juice
- 1 x cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 x tablespoon turmeric powder (careful….it will stain anything you get it on a bright yellow!)
Throw the whole ginger and garlic cloves into your juicer, including skins, first. Juice the whole lemons last. The lemon rind adds a tasty zest to the drink.
Buy the turmeric from Woolworths. It comes in handy sachets. Pour the powder slowly into a 1/4 cup of cold water, stirring it in to the mixture as you cook to dissolve any lumps.
Method:
Place the ginger, apple cider vinegar and garlic juice in a saucepan and simmer on low for 1 hour, or until the liquid is reduced to a slightly thick consistency. It will go a dark green/yellow colour, depending on the amount of garlic.
Add the turmeric to the mixture after you take it off the heat.
Add the freshly juiced lemon juice.
Add 1 cup of honey, more or less, to taste.
Pour the liquid into a glass storage container. Cool, and store the container in the fridge with a lid on. It can smell strongly of garlic so don’t leave the container uncovered.
Drink 1 or 2 tablespoon before breakfast each day.
I have been taking 2 tablespoons ( I am a big bloke ) for the last 4 years, and my doctor reported that my recent blood test shows I have the cholesterol levels of an 18 year old, and my heart is very healthy.

where do you buy that much garlic juice?
Buy fresh cloves of garlic and juice them.
First get a good quality vegetable juicer. A good one is about $350.
Then peel fresh garlic and let the machine do the work, hehe.
You can buy it commercially juiced too, but I doubt, that it will have the potency.
I just throw the whole clove in, skin and all. The juicer does the work for me.
How much Garlic would you use, to get a cup of juice?
I used about 7 or 8 bulbs of garlic (that’s the bunch of garlic before you peel all the cloves apart), but it will depend on how juicy the garlic is.
How can you reduce 3 cups of liquid down to 3 cups? Is that a mistake? Should it be reduced to 1 cup?
I have edited it, and realized I forgot to put in 1 cup of ginger. Make sure you juice that in too.
Ginger hasn’t got a lot of juice. How much Ginger do I need to buy, to get one cup of ginger juice? Or is tht. Cup of chopped ginger? (Same with the Garlic maybe?) or is it an actual cup of juice?
Should be:….1cup of chopped Ginger.
No, just throw a large hand of ginger into your juicer. One hand should make enough juice. You’d be surprised how much juice is in garlic and ginger.
I am amazed how much juice Ginger produces! But Garlic does not produce a lot! I am simmering it at the moment. Shall let you know how it works on me.
Wow, This is a strong brew, hehe, but I am sticking to it. Every morning.
Yes, it’s a jolt to the system, but after a few times you get used to it. I look forward to it now. If you take it every day you won’t have any colds or flu. I started getting a runny nose the other day…usually the prelude to a nasty cold. But I took 3 tablespoons during the day and by the evening my nose was back to normal.
Just a couple of small refinements. Use organic apple cider vinegar which contains the ‘mother’. Use fresh turmeric, although it is not readily available, some supermarkets and independent grocers sell it. Use a cold press juicer.
Good advice. If available the fresh ingredients are always better, but if not, turmeric is available in sachets in Woolworths with just the right amount for this recipe.
Hi, just re your juice recipe, I’ve been using called Fire Tonic. The ingredients are Aged raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, raw honey, Chillies, tumeric, garlic, horseradish, ginger,carrot, celery, red and brown onion, apple, orange, lemon, brown mustard seed, parsley, rosemary, oregano, thyme, juniper berries, black peppercorn, bay leaves, szechuan pepper, himalayan salt. It does have a kick to it. You can get a vegan version without the honey
Wow! You must be as strong as a horse!
Can you make it without a juicer?
Yes, you can do it by hand if you like.
that’s a great recipe. I’d only add a bit of finely ground black pepper (mixed with the turmeric, for the activation of the turmeric, for 1 tablespoon of turmeric add 1/10 black pepper) and also a knife tip of cayenne pepper (or a bit more, depending on how strong each can bear with). I would also simmer only 1/2 of that apple cider vinegar, while the other half I would add it at the end in its natural form (this way preserving its properties… also make sure to use quality apple cider vinegar which is listed on the bottle “with the mother”). Perhaps, I may go to the extent of NOT simmering the ingredients but only pouring hot water and letting it steep for 10-15 mins (less water added, just the right amount to balance all the ingredients). It’s an amazing recipe as listed on this site, just thought less processed ingredients would be even stronger preserving more of the natural properties).
