Lemon Garlic Drink to Fight Infection
I have used a lemon garlic drink to fight infection. There was a time years ago when I had an abscess in my mouth. It came from a tooth that was giving me troubles. I prayed about what I could do to get rid of it. The answer came to make a lemon garlic drink. I went in the kitchen and started making one. Within 12 hours, the infection had gone down by half.
I have told other people about this and they have also found success. One lady found that it helped her with her bronchitis. Recently there is information about the strong effects of the whole lemon to fight cancer. Apparently, using the rind and juicy center frozen, then grated onto foods you eat is a great way to more effectively fight cancer than chemotherapy.
It’s safer without all the side effects of chemo. And this drink recipe would be a drinkable, tasty way to fight cancer easily without losing your hair, having bad breath, or going through hell. If I had cancer, I’d probably have 1 quart a day of this drink.
My original recipe for Infection-Fighting Lemon Garlic Drink was submitted to the Herbal Legacy website. For this recipe, I am making a little revision by including the lemon peel.
The nice thing about including the whole lemon peel is that it helps you to not have bad breath from the garlic. The yellow part of the rind has essential oils that fight germs, is a natural deodorant and mouthwash refreshener. This drink would also be very powerful in not only strengthening the immune system, but in fighting a virus also.
All parts of the lemon are amazingly helpful; the vitamin C rich inside, the vitamin C complex white part of the rind, the lemon oils in the rind, and even the bitter antioxidant rich seeds. The garlic bud that is added is liquefied to become more effective. Garlic is known to kill all bacteria, fungus, parasites, and germs.
Garlic is a natural antiobiotic, known as the poor man’s antiobiotic. The good thing is that your good bacteria or probiotics are unaffected by garlic. This is a natural way that is better for your system than to continually take antibiotics, which kill off your good bacteria and lead to more infection in the long run.
The taste is fine for this drink. The lemon covers the garlic odor and taste. And the garlic helps to mellow the taste of lemon. You won’t have bad breath with this drink and can enjoy the benefits of the raw garlic with the lemon oil to counteract the odor on your breath, leaving a fresh taste and smell of lemons.
Lemon Garlic Drink to Fight Infection by Janet Hailstone
1/2 lemon, cut in half for a drinkable drink
(If you are brave, you can try a whole lemon and then cut it into four pieces – but it can sometimes be a little strong with the lemon oil in the yellow lmeon rind)
1 garlic bud, take off the paper
1 – 1 1/2 cups water
Insert all of the ingredients into a blender and blend well to liquefy. The more drinkable version is good if you just use 1//2 a lemon and then fill the blender to the 1 cup mark with water. Blends to a very smooth drink. Pour into a 2 cup mug and add water to fill the remaining amount. Otherwise, if you use the whole lemon, it can be very strong with the lemon oil from the rind and be a little difficult to drink.
Variation: 1 whole lemon, 2 garlic buds, water to the 1 1/2 cup mark in the blender or just enough to cover. Blend well, then pour into a quart jar and add water to fill.
If you are brave, you can use two garlic buds for more effectiveness. But, it will taste like garlic.

Hi Janet:
I just made your lemon garlic drink and can feel its powerful effects. How often do you suggest taking it?
Many thanks,
Linda
Linda,
It is powerful and I’m glad it works for you. I would do about two a day if it was me. The oils in the rind are strong and I’m not sure how wise it would be to take more than that. But, for therapeutic purposes, I might go as high as 3-4 at first then taper off day by day 2-3 to 1-2 then 1, then as needed.
If I had a serious condition, I’d take more as I felt I could. When I’m healthy, I just make one every once in a while when I remember or when I feel like it. I think it’s a great boost to health.
Some people blend up 10 garlic and drink it raw, that could be painful in the stomach. Some people just juice the lemon and have it every morning for a cleansing drink.
Let me know what you end up feeling comfortable with and how it goes for you? This is a learning situation.
Thanks for the comment,
Janet
Janet, thank you for your response and for this wonderful infection-fighting drink recipe. I made two batches yesterday, using two garlic cloves in each batch and a dash of cayenne, and I could feel it working right away. My sore throat left yesterday, and so far there’s no head cold or cough. I’m so grateful to you.
I had just read how beneficial lemon and garlic are–they’re two of Raymond Dextreit’s ‘Seven of Nature’s Marvels’, a chapter title in his book, “Our Earth Our Cure: A Handbook of Natural Medicine for Today.” (The other five “marvels” are olive oil, sea salt, carrots, cabbage and thyme.) This was the first I time I read about eating the entire lemon, including pith and seeds, so when I saw your drink recipe that used the whole lemon and combined it with raw garlic, I knew it would be helpful.
Many, many thanks,
Linda
P.S. Sorry for sending yesterday’s message twice–I thought the first had not gone through.
Linda,
I really loved finding out about how this worked for you. That’s cool that you got rid of your sore throat so fast. I appreciate hearing all about Raymond Dextreit’s book. It sounds like you like to learn more about nutrition like I do.
You were brave to try two garlic buds, how was it, drinkable and doable? Your previous message only came through once, so no worries on that.
Have a healthy, now sore throat, no head cold or cough rest of the week!
Janet
Hi Janet:
Day three and no sore throat! I’ve made two drinks each day. With two garlic cloves, they’re extremely powerful with a strong taste of garlic, but I can feel them going to work right away. This’ll be it for me now as I don’t want to over-detoxify.
Thank you for your help and encouragement–and the great information on your website.
All the best,
Linda
