Nature’s Penicillin-Homemade Remedy is a formula that I have been making for years whenever I have a cold or flu. I found that this formula speeds up recovery time and really boosts my immune system.
What Is Nature’s Penicillin-Homemade Remedy?
I first heard about Nature’s Penicillin-Homemade Remedy when a natural health speaker Thomas Jackson of Meet Ministry demonstrated it at a health presentation. Here is the original recipe.
This potent antiviral and antibacterial drink full of powerful antioxidants will surely boost your immune system and put it in high gear.
It is especially good for influenza, colds, headache, and other respiratory conditions. All the ingredients are found in your kitchen.

In the blender:

I love your recipe, I wish I could try it. I am on blood pressure medicine and I can’t eat grapefruit. And I’m dying of liver failure and my pancreas is swollen to the point were at five fall it could rupture today but anytime is there any other treatment that I could use the help with the building of blood platelets are hoping my liver you’re better without using grapefruit thank you for your reply so I appreciate it .
John, I’m so sorry to hear about your condition. Yes, you shouldn’t eat grapefruit while on BP meds. I did make a note about it on my website.I recommend you go to see a health care professional who is open to alternative therapy as well as conventional, one that’s close to you who can monitor your progress closely. Seriously praying for healing!
Can honey be added?
Sure, you can add honey.
Can you take this while pregnant?
This is great works really good.
Awesome Althia, so happy that it worked for you!
If u are allergic to medical penicillin will this give you an allergic reaction?
How long is it good for?
Cha cha if you are taking it throughout the day, it usually lasts 1-2 days. If you are taking it less than that, then I would keep it for 3 days refrigerated in a container with a tight-fitted lid and then make fresh again.
I’m taking targetol but it’s after I consumed the mixture that I read if taking targetol the grapefruit should be avoided. What am I to expect then, the fact that I’m taking targetol and still take nature’s penicillin?
Leave the grapefruit out of the recipe and you’ll be fine.
Started with cold symptoms Sunday night and Just remembered this recipe was here – heading to the store in the a.m. to pick up my missing ingredients.
How many cups does this recipe make? I need enough for one adult and 2 children. Thank you for your help
