[YEA] 06/24/2007: "Re Fresh ginger and garlic: At dinner recently, eating a whole roasted fish, a small bone pierced the back of my mouth, above the throat. The next day I ahd a very sore throat on one side. It grew worse and my ear on the same side started to ache, as well as my scalp. I associated it with the fishbone... I was afraid that I had picked up an infection from the bone (and of course I'd Googled this possibility, too!). Not having the time to find a dcotor and have antibiotics prescribed,I started dosing myself with two thin slices of raw ginger every two hours. I also choppped fresh garlic and put salt on it to draw out the juice, then dabbed the juice directly on the little wound in my mouth. Within 16 hours the pain was gone, and the little red spot at the back of my throat has now disappeared (two days later). It could be coincidence, but I'm pretty convinced that the fresh, raw ginger and garlic with their antibiotic properties cured me."

[YEA] 05/18/2007: Jim from Long Island, New York writes: "I would take a slice of ginger and chew for about 5 minutes. I would sense this to cleanse my gum line and wash away any germs. Also, if a tooth acted up, a piece of ginger placed there would bring relief. I feel that it got rid of a pile of bacterior in the mouth and cleansed the system too. What a gift!"

[YEA] 03/20/2007: Markel (Markelus@webtv.net) from Springfield, Missouri writes: "I use ginger to prevent this horrific rash. I juice a pound of root into a couple dozen mini ice cubes and plop them into my teas, soups, sauces, stews, etc. I am curious that only the yellow ginger root works and not the brown ginger. Would appreciate feedback on the difference between the two types. I've had the rash for over ten years. Just discovered the ginger remedy over a year ago. I have appr. twenty pounds(pre-juice weight) of frozen ginger cubes in my freezer because I am such a strong believer in it's power to keep my horrific rash in check."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Markel: Ginger has known antibiotic properties, improves circlation, has some blood thinning properties but without the associated side effects like aspirin, and it also has certain anti inflammatory properties. I do not know what yellow ginger is, but the ginger that I used here is only yellow kind and is considered a stimulant and hence can be used for certain kinds of rash for its anti inflammatory properties. As to why a yellow and a brown ginger is different, the only thing I am aware is the yellow ginger is a better skin penetrant and more stronger chemically and hence is more effective against rash. I don't have the brown ginger here locally so I can't make comments on that one."

[YEA] 03/20/2007: Sunny (inspirashin@gmail.com) from Fullerton, CA writes: "I am of Korean descent, and for as long as I can remember, my grandparents and my mother have been using ginger for a few different ailments. Recently, I noticed with the cold weather, the flu bug was going around and I have had some pain and swelling in my wrists and finger joints. I made tea by boiling one ginger root, sliced and diced, in some water, added some fresh lemon juice and the peel (how it was done forever in my household) and added honey into my cup. it isn't a cure for a cold, but it certainly helps to relieve symptoms. i took the warm ginger remains out of the pot and mashed it up and applied it topically to my wrists and fingers. the pain is substantially alleviated. if you can handle the smell, it is worth a try. this is not a cure for arthritis, but a natural and very healthy way of relieving pain. there is also a link to show studies done by the U of Maryland on ginger and what ailments it helps with. hope this helps. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsHerbs/Gingerch.html"

[YEA] 03/20/2007: Katherine from Los Angeles, USA writes: "Arthritis Remedy: Ginger Root/Mint tea. I have found that making tea out of ginger root and mint is more helpful than any capsules. Take about a 1 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger root, peel and then slice root into mug, add some fresh mint leaves, pour good boiling water over and steep at least 1/2 hour (the longer the better) drink before you retire for the night. This not only helps with the joint pain but has also helped me sleep more sound. The mint is important as it helps the stomach - ginger root tea alone can be a bit difficult if one is no longer 20 . This is an acquired taste. DO NOT get carried away like I did the first week and drink more than one huge mug a night. As my Chinese Dr. friend said "it is like listerine for the body". Cleans out the toxins and it is a natural anti inflammatory. Katherine"

[YEA] 11/15/2006: Suzanne from London writes: "I have suffered from very bad arthritis for some years and also osteoporosis of the spine. I used to dread winters even though I was prescribed antiinflamatory pills and painkillers by my doctor. I recently discovered ginger root (I found a newspaper article about ginger that I had put away some years ago) and have been taking it for about 3 weeks now in capsule form from the health food shop. The stiffness has gone from my joints and spine and most of the pain which is gradually disappearing. In fact, the other day I realized that I didn't have any pain or stiffness at all. It is such a great remedy that I am recommending it to everybody I know who has arthritis."

[YEA] 01/25/2008: Pat from Montreal, Quebec writes: "I am into drinking all kinds of herbal teas and one day I was looking for info on herbal teas and starting reading about ginger, that evening Christmas eve I felt like I was getting a cough and cold because I started to sneeze ever 15 minutes, decided to make the ginger tea and drank 1 litre of it, the next day I was up and about, no more cough and did not sneeze it was an incredible experience, now I tell everyone about this and really encourage to drink this for anyone who feels that they are coming down with a cold or cough, try it you will feel the difference."
[YEA]10/09/2008: Purvi (purvi923@hotmail.com) from Jersey City, NJ, USA replies: "I completely agree. I make ginger tea whenever I feel a cold or cough coming on and it works every time. I boil ginger root in water and once boiled, I steep tea in it. I had honey and lemon to the ginger tea. Drinking four cups a day for two days will cure any cough or cold you have. It always works. A table spoon of shreaded ginger root in two cups of water (you can make it stronger/spicer by adding more ginger), two tea bags, 1/2 lime or lemon and a couple of table spoons of honey (I like my tea a little sweet). Drink two cups in the morning and two right before bed.
Ask me about turmeric next!"

[YEA] 04/29/2008: Lawrence from Kingston, Jamaica writes: "Sucking on a .5 sq. inch piece of dried ginger cures my sore throat and other cold/flulike symptoms at their onset.You have to however bear the hotness as much as you can, until the sensation is gone. I have not suffered from a cold or flu for the last 10 years or so. For more aggressive forms, a total water & juice fast for 2 or 3 days straight does the trick for me. My roomate had a bad flu recently, it never touched me. When ending the fast, eat only raw fruits and vege for a day or so. Notice how the gradual resumption of cooked food lowers your mood and vibration."

About one week later I saw her and asked about the results. She said it helped with the carpal tunnel but it made the biggest difference with her menstrual cramps within about 15 to 20 minutes!"

[YEA] 10/20/2005: Lisa from Deltona FL writes: "I have been using ginger for years it is the best expectorant, releasing mucus which holds the germs in our bodies. Ginger brings it up.. do not swallow or you will just be swallowing the germs ginger is trying to expel.let it go or your bronchial will not clear well.Its also great for upset or nervous stomachs."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "While ginger seems to restore energy in most cases, however I find capsicum powder (cayenne peppers) mixed with fresh ginger works the best as it helps with circulation. Especially works well if you are drowsy and raises oxygen level to those tiny capillaries which receives little or no blood flow.
If you can find them, fresh ginger and fresh cayenne peppers (finely chopped) work the best due to higher bioflavonoids, vitamin P content, as well as vitamin C, etc.
You would not believe that the amount of vitamins in FRESH vegetables are MUCH MORE THAN THOSE THEY GIVE YOU IN VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS!!! Cooking destroys nearly everything the vegetables have to offer and end up paying more buying vitamin supplements, and much much more going to see doctors."

[YEA] Kim writes: "I thoroughly chew and swallow a 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger root anytime my stomach is upset. It relieves any pain or discomfort within an hour. I've started eating it every day, just because I feel better when I do!! Ginger is a gift from God!"

[YEA] 02/17/2007: Deborah (PostACure[at]mail.com) from Henagar, AL writes: "Whenever my family and I are ill with nausea or sick stomach I give them a ginger root pill. Symptoms are completely gone within 30 minutes and don't return for at least 8 hours! Usually 2-3 capsules in all it takes and you are symptom FREE!!! I make my own remedy by buying the powder by bulk and encapsulating them myself. The ginger root pills in the store might work however we haven't tried them yet. This is also works great to relieve my fibromyalgia! My niece takes these also for pregnancy sickness however there has been an issue arise lately relating to miscarriages. So further research should be studied before self adminisration for the expecting mothers and ginger root."

[YEA] 01/16/2008: Shira from Green Cove Springs, FL writes: "I want to shout this from the roof tops!
My husband has had terrible sinus congestion for months! Because it felt as though he had some sort of barrier in his left nostril, even his CPAP machine wasn't allowing him to breathe. Sleepless night... tons of money on meds... countless nosebleeds because of all of the nasal sprays... he was miserable and feeling a little desperate.
Then, as the last resort, I searched and came across your ginger root remedy. $2.00 for a huge ginger root that I peeled, cut into chunks and steeped for 4 hours in a pot of water with 2 green tea bags. Dan sipped on the surprisingly yummy tea all evening, and for the first time in MONTHS, he's completely clear! There wasn't a dramatic loss of mucus, but for whatever reason, I believe it shrunk the swollen nasal passages, and for the last 3 nights in a row, he's slept ALL night, clear as a bell! He didn't even snore! I can't even begin to tell you what a HUGE blessing this remendy is for us.
I work with a Japanese woman who told me that ginger root also helps digestive issues and menstral cramps. We've decided to make ginger root tea part of our daily routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!"

[YEA] 01/11/2008: Tara from Springfield, Illinois writes: "Sinus Cure I had really bad sinus congestion about a month.After trying all kinds of over the counter products I decided to try a natural remedy using fresh ginger root.I cut about 2-3 onces off the ginger root, peeled it.Then I placed it inside a tea cup of water and put it in the micro wave for 3 minutes and allowed it to cool a little before sipping.I did not notice the results until three days later, I went to blow my nose and lots of brown mucus came out of my nose.I drank a few more cups after that and now I feel clear and more better."
