Not sure what your asking for. If its got HGF then thats the problem. The only cure is to pull the engine apart and fit a new gasket (simply put). It an't gonna get better and there is no magic cure. You don't want to keep driving it like that or its going to become a bigger problem.

Head gaskets can fail between the bores and/or oil ways, not just to the cooling system. Buy a compression tester and check all the cylinders.
