  • I am a Doctor and have tried a number of things to cure my patients, because i do not believe in just giving Viagra or other allopathic salts, as the patients themselves are very much aware of these things and their side effects. Using such medicines can only give temporary relief and not a permanent cure. . One such formulation is used to Garlic ( Allium sativum ) Capsules. These do not give instant results but when used regularly for a period of 2 months the benefits we get are permanent. You can also give these a try. Garlic or Lasun Capsules (Allium sativum) is an invaluable medicine for asthma, hoarseness, coughs, difficulty of breathing, and most other disorders of the lungs, being of particular virtue in chronic bronchitis, on account of its powers of promoting expectoration. & duodenal ulcers.

  • Never ever use any type of Allopathic medicine . It has got its own side effects. Better way of handling this problem is by using herbal medicines which do not have side effects. Moreover there are herbal medicines which can also cure this problem and there is no need to continue the medicine after it is cured. Garlic Capsules is one such product, you can give it a try .

  • Absolutely excellent article. Asthma , fever, typhoid, high lipid profile and hypertension secrets, it is important for many people these days. And this is the secret to which you refer, so I’m going to remember that for some.
