  • My husband story: One day he and his work buddies were talking about what would happen if they lost their health care insurance. My husband perked up and said, "My wife is my health care provider." The guys were like, "What?" He said, "She's an herbalist and she takes care of us. Unless we have something severe happen~~an accident, something sudden and emergent, she'll take care of us." They were skeptical and sort of chuckled at him, but he's right. It' made me feel good to know he has confidence in me. <3

    My family has taken this video and introduced fire cider to our entire church congregation. We made two dozen batches, split them each up into 4ths and wrote out our recipe. This video has introduced a whole church congregation to a new way of approaching our health.
  • Cpl years ago I made fire cider...an old friend came by Now I had 2 stage 4 cancers (blood cancers ) =immune And so a shot isn’t tequila anymore 🤣 He hasn’t come back. But my kids believe in my remedies. No doctors in 6 years God healed me in my bedroom 2014 but showed me how to eat properly for months b4 the supernatural healing so I wouldn’t get sick again ... glory glory glory
  • Amen Sister! My Grandmother was an herbalist, mid wife and lived in Appalachia. She not only took care of her family of 9 children she nursed and healed many around her. She proved that knowledge can come from places, people and history passed on, other than Universities .She learned the Herbalist ways from her mother and her mother's mother and her mother's mother. Many things learned from the American Native Indian. There will be times when we need modern medicine. But that is not every day and for every thing. Thank you! God Bless.
  • If you want to maximize your alisin, you should smash your garlic as flat as possible with the skin on and let it sit. If you're using it like you are in this video, there's no need to remove the skin. Ginger is the same. The enzymes in both of their skins are going to add to your medicine.
  • This just happened to me. A few months ago I made a slightly modified version of this recipe. This last week I got a crazy type of flu that is going around right now that's super contagious. My Gi system and urinary system were destroyed. Earlier this week I took a good swallow of my batch of fc, and it seems like over night everything started to get better. A few nights later (last night) I took another shot right before bed. It warmed me up all through my body and I sweat a lot all night long. I woke up drenched. This morning I feel amazing. This is a game changer for me, and I'm grateful for this recipe. I'll keep it for the rest of my life.

    I haven't had a cold or flu for over 10 yrs. What I do is eat 1 clove of raw garlic every day. Usually on a piece of buttered toast. In the summer I have a tomato and garlic sandwich with 2 gloves of garlic.

    Knife Tip: Use the back of the knife 🔪 instead of the sharp edge for scraping your food off of the cutting board, to keep from dulling your sharpened blade.
  • @Preacherwin
    One year I was teaching in Ukraine, I developed a bad head cold. My students brought me ginger, sliced it, and had me chew it. Along with lemon tea, it kicked the cold well. Thanks for this recipe.
  • @quantumleap8888
    Natural remedies are the way to go. We should all say good riddance to Pharmakia. Thanks for the posting this Melissa.
  • Ginger is also a good expectorant, i.e. helps to break up mucus on the chest. It's traditionally used for this in India.
  • @sydneydrake2789
    Thanks. Great video. I make Fire Cider, too. I agree: when I'm feeling off it crosses my mind to pull out the Fire Cider. I don't need to take it daily. If I'm impatient I fill a shot glass and drink it--the flavors are still pungent, but they mellow in fierceness with the fermentation. My favorite is when it's hot outside. With a shot (1-2 oz) of FC, a few drops of stevia, then fill it with ice & water it's a super refreshing pick-me-upper. I throw the remaining solids onto a tray, dehydrate them, and powder them to put into a spice jar.

    I love this video, right from the garden. Just made two patches (3 gallon jugs) a month ago, we let it age two months, then strain. We use: Whole bulb of garlic 2 while onions Tumeric Ginger Thai Peppers Horseradish Root 2 Bottles of Aplle Cider Vinegar (with the mother) Its cures soooo much, from yeast infections to flus...
  • @mimiashford5544
    You were meant to get that pepper for this very reason... not only to heal yourself, but to explain to others how Capsaicin works wonders.
  • @indianne9781
    I swear by oregano oil for the start of a cold. 1 or 2 drops on a tiny piece of bread and swallow like a pill. 2 or 3 times a day, or whenever I remember. Really knocks a cold. Just don’t forget and chew the bread, it is very hot and will light you up!
  • @martha1191
    When making mines I use all organic ingredients. Along with the items mention above, I add honey, lemon, cinnamon, oregano oil, etc… I was unable to find organic jalapeño peppers therefore, I added extra cayenne pepper, paprika and smoked paprika. I have never strained mines and it’s never gone bad. Recently, I made a 2-gallon batch and blended everything with the Nutra Bullet. I leave mines sit for 2 months or longer. Be creative with it. Make it your own!
  • After watching your video last October, I made my batch of fire cider. I'm the only one in my family that didn't get sick (COVID, flu, etc). No one else will take the fire cider but I think it's the one thing that has kept me from all those nasty viruses. Thank you for the video.
  • I think of the homemade remedies this way... this is how they used to cure ailments before the big drug companies took a home remedies and turned it into a big money scam. Home remedies are the best! Thanks for sharing
  • Throw a good piece of that ginger root into a pot with some good soil and let her grow, overwinter it with the rest of your herbs on the porch. When it gets big enough you can pop it out, grab a chunk of root off, and put it back into the pot to let it grow up some more. Also, thanks for the videos!
