I say that he told us that when you get a really bad gripping stomach pain and you can't get a doctor, the home remedy is to take a clove of garlic, warm it gently (not too hot) rub it in olive oil and then use it as a suppository. Not too much he says, that can cause trouble but it is guaranteed to ...
