Brilliant, Jason, thanks for sharing that. It's reassuring. Interesting about the garlic necklace; modern man is really quite contemptuous and dismissive of things the older generations used to do. They didn't do it because of double blind tests, they did it because someone experimented with what was to hand, found something that worked and shared the info with others. Really rather like you today. Rowena I too thought it a great post. It's the first positive note we've had on this illness. However, I could see taking the garlic internally but don't understand the reason for wearing it. Guess I watched too many vampire movies as a child. It does seem like I've read where people who survived the Black Plague centuries ago ate and wore garlic. Guess I need to do more reading on garlic. Thanks again Jason Edith
