11. Garlic has the attributes of a natural antibiotic

As does honey.

No one will ever convince me that taking the chemical pharmaceuticals didn't suppress my immune system. I'm pretty healthy, too, so using natural ingredients, letting my body rest and relying on my immune system to do its job works well, for me.

The veg I put in the soup are tomatoes (vitamin C) onion, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. I read somewhere that the Cruciferous vegetables contain the most nutrients so it seemed the perfect fit, with the garlic and onion.

I think I take after my Great-Great-Grandmother, who some considered to be a 'witch', but she was actually a gifted healer.
