Wisdom of Elders
Across AmericaTM
ICareVillage features a video interview with Chester Aaron, who discusses the benefits of Garlic as a health benefit. Chester discusses his experience as a child where as he says “If I had an ear ache my father would put garlic in my ear.” In World War II Chester watched the US Army use penicillin for infection but when he saw Russians in the war, they used Garlic. In part I of this series on Garlic you can hear his own personal story on Garlic and perspectives on the industry as a whole.

“Wisdom of Elders Across America™” is a video series capturing short clips of elders sharing stories related to history such as World War II, Discrimination, Changing roles of Women, Coming to America and Civil Rights. Our mission is to create a reverence for elders. If we take better care of our older generation, we will also learn how to take better care of ourselves.
