Dr. T’s natural penicillin is an all-natural antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal formula that can cure most colds and flu, chest infections, ear infections, sinus infections, and so much more.
We start out by placing in our blender the juice from two freshly squeezed oranges. Now, orange juice has vitamin C; it also gives sweetness to our formula, so even the children will enjoy it. To that, we’re going to add two slices of pineapple; pineapple contains not only fibre but also bromelain which is a natural anti-inflammatory that reduces pain and inflammation in the nasal passage and in the lungs. It adds sweetness, too.
Next is a very important ingredient—half of an onion. Onion contains quercetin, a bronchodilator—what this means is that if you’re asthmatic, having shortness of breath, wheezing, this opens your airways and allows you to breathe freer. This was invaluable during COVID-19.
Of course, we can’t leave out our garlic—this contains antifungal, antibiotic, and antiviral nutrients and is powerful to treat almost any infection that you can have. We’re adding two cloves of garlic.
Then ginger. Ginger contains gingerol, an anti-inflammatory; it reduces pain, inflammation, and swelling. So, we’re adding about a teaspoon or two of cut ginger.
Next comes turmeric—this contains curcumin, a very powerful and potent anti-inflammatory agent, which helps to penetrate the entire respiratory tract and reduces mucus production and congestion.
Follow up with cayenne pepper. Now, cayenne is a little tricky because it’s very harsh, so when preparing this for children, I tend to leave it out, but for adults, I do add a couple pinches. Cayenne improves blood flow and enables your formula to penetrate your entire respiratory tract, loosening up mucus and giving you freer breathing.
Finally, is honey. Honey is very nice, but possibly not known to you are its many antibiotic and antiviral properties. Honey contains over 1000 nutrients, making it a potent addition to this formula. By itself, honey can be used with lime juice for colds and flu and many respiratory tract infections. Ensure it’s raw, organic honey in order to get your formula at the right potency…enough said!
Now blend this beautifully coloured mixture, transfer to an airtight glass container, and store it in your refrigerator. It will not spoil easily.
It can be used for children older than one year old. I remember a young lady bringing her child to me one day, complaining that the child had been sick for years, always having a cold and ear infection; had been to the doctor many, many times. I took the child off sugar and dairy and asked Mommy to administer this formula twice a day for two weeks. The child has not been sick in two years!
The dose for children is one teaspoon three times a day, and adults take three teaspoons (1 tablespoon) three times daily.
Many persons can testify to the potency of this natural penicillin as during COVID, it was their ‘go to.’
