So once long ago, there was a legendary thankgiving stomach bug that invoked the powerful “double dragon” where both ends of the digestive system would violently expel all ammo at the same time for 3 days. I inquired of a grandfather, and this is his remedy.
- take a half cup of plain yogurt with active cultures (no sugar added if possible)
- obtain 5-7 fresh garlic cloves and mince then crush.
- mix the two together and let sit at room temperature for a half hour
- eat the entire mixture.
Note that during this event, I had early symptoms that invoked the first stage of the double dragon. I then judiciously obtained the material components for this remedy. I followed the steps and during step 4, I actually felt more and more unwell with each bite. I also may have started sweating. After about 1 hour, I then had a marked improvement i.e. nausea of a 7/10 decreased to a 2/10, and I had a spike of renewed energy. This benefit lasted ~8hrs. I had no double dragon symptoms during the period that others in my close family were at their worst. I typically have an “average” stomach compared to my family members, so this gave strong evidence that this remedy was effective.
My grandfather claimed to use it while flying overseas and doing business and eating weird stuff and getting food poisoning but still needing to get work done.
