Dear ,
 
For many of our readers your children are back in school and we are getting the common questions coming in "What do I do if my child picks up the flu from school?" or "What do I do for strep throat?"
 
These diseases, and more, can be treated simply at home.
 
We covered the flu recently (see Swine Flu - April 29, 2009 http://articles.herballegacy.com/swine-flu/) but haven't covered strep throat for over two years so we thought this would be a good time to cover that simple home remedy again.
 
Our recipe for the week is a reader-submitted recipe called Mushroom Burgers.  There are lots of cook-outs going on right now - we hope you will give these delicious burgers a try-
 
Be sure to read the News section for a local (Springville, Utah) class announcement.
 
Until next week - be healthy and happy-

ARTICLE: Herbal Remedies for Strep or Sore Throats 
 
from "Safety of Herbs" - A Healthier You Radio Show with Master Herbalists David and Fawn Christopher

We have been effective dealing with strep throat with a very simple combination of herbs.  This is a very valuable formula that has saved us hundreds and hundreds of dollars in medical expenses and gotten us over these kinds of conditions quickly.

Here's the formula:

* One tablespoon of pure honey
* ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
* Four cloves of garlic pressed through a garlic press

Those are the proportions, but you'll need more than that, so take four tablespoons of honey, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper and sixteen pressed cloves of garlic, and mix that all together.  Take ½ teaspoon to one teaspoon of the formula every 30-60 minutes.

Don't wash it down - let the honey coat the throat, then the cayenne, being a rubefacient, will bring blood into the area, and then your immune system will be stimulated with the garlic.  Garlic is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral, so anything that may be causing the sore throat the garlic, along with the cayenne and the honey coating the area, will take care of the problem.

How long does it take to get over strep throat with the standard medical procedure?  10 days.  This herbal remedy will generally get you over strep throat in 24 hours.

Let's look at another thing - the doctor who wrote the book, "Don't Drink Your Milk" (Frank Oski, M.D.) observed through his case studies that his patients who drank milk were the ones who got strep consistently, while his non-milk drinking patients did not get strep, so milk is certainly a factor in strep throat.

Garlic, cayenne, honey - another safe and effective herbal remedy with no side effects.  You know it is going to work, and it's going to work nine days faster than the standard medical procedure.

(Note on the honey - it needs to be pure honey.  Most beekeepers feed their bees sugar, which weakens the bee's immune system, so they get mites coming into the hives.  To prevent mites from coming into the hives they give them antibiotics, further weakening the immune system of the bees.  Find local honey where the beekeeper doesn't feed the bees sugar and doesn't give them antibiotics.  You can often find good results if you check with your local health food store.)

RECIPE: Mushroom Burgers
 
Submitted by Katrina Larsen
 
INGREDIENTS:

·         2 tbsp canola oil

·         1 onion, diced

·         2 cloves garlic, minced

·         3 green onions, diced

·         1/2 tsp cumin or other favorite spice

·         3/4 cup diced fresh mushrooms

·         1 15 ounce can pinto beans or 2 cups of your own homemade beans

·         1 tsp parsley or other herbs

·         salt and pepper to taste

·         oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:

1.      Sautee the onions and garlic in canola oil for 3 to 5 minutes, until onions are soft.
2.      Add the green onions, cumin and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until mushrooms are cooked. Set aside.
3.      Mash the beans with a fork or a potato masher, or process in a food processor until well mashed.
4.      Add the mushrooms to the beans and add parsley, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
5.      Shape the mixture into patties. Heat about two tablespoons of oil and cook each patty until the veggie burgers are done, about 3 minutes on each side.

Notes:

·         If you don't want to fry these in a pan, you could brush each side with a little oil (optional) and bake them in the oven at 350 for about 20 - 30 minutes until heated through.  Flip once half way through.

 

·         Use different spices and herbs to create a variety of flavors - i.e. instead of cumin try basil or thyme for an Italian flair.
