Why Don’t Doctors Prescribe It?
Garlic is known to be an extremely effective vegetable, which can provide an immense number of health benefits. The list of diseases that garlic can kill is long, and includes:
- Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
- Thrush (Fungal overgrowth in oral cavity)
- Pseudomonas Aerigonosima, including drug-resistant strains.
- Cytomegalavirus Infections
- Mycotoxin-associated aflatoxicosis
- Helicobacter Pylori infection
- Candida (Yeast) infection
- Klebseilla infection
- HIV-1 infection
- Vibrio infection
- Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, multi-drug resistantClostridium infection
- Viral Infections: Herpes Simplex 1 and 2, Parainfluenza virus type 3, vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus and human rhinovirus type 2.
- Group B Streptococcus Infection
This was an impressive smattering of research, but it is likely only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to garlic’s ability to fight infection. Given that conventional antibiotics are not only failing, but driving bacteria and viruses into greater lethality, we can’t wait around for the multi-billion dollar clinical trial-based drug approval process to turn its attention to a non-patentable natural substance. Such a profit-oriented approach would be highly unethical.
Garlic has long been used to treat and cure cancer throughout the ages, dating back to Hippocrates who recommended his patients eat large amounts of crushed garlic to cure their cancer. If you choose to take garlic as an anti-fungal to heal your cancer a minimum amount to take would be 5-6 cloves of (crushed) garlic per day. There are about 12 cloves per whole pod of garlic. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes after they have been crushed. This amount of time is needed to release an enzyme (allinase) that produces these anti-fungal, anti-cancer compounds. You can eat the raw or cooked garlic as part of sandwiches or other meals. Studies have shown that garlic supplements do not produce the same anti-cancer, anti-fungal results.
Garlic also permeates the research literature: the biomedical database known as MEDLINE, provided by the National Library of Medicine, contains 4245 study abstracts on garlic, a number of which we have indexed and organized for your use on our site: Health Benefits of Garlic. A cursory perusal of the literature there indicates that garlic has a significant role to play in preventing or treating well over 150 health conditions, ranging from cancer to diabetes, infection to plaque buildup in the arteries, DNA damage to mercury poisoning.
That garlic has value in 167 health conditions or disease symptoms, but the greatest density of research indicates garlic’s role in preventing and/or treating Cardiovascular Disease and Cancers, the two primary causes of death within high-income countries – was shown in the research on Greenmedinfo.com.Garlic Versus the Developed World’s #1 and #2 Killers
In a world mesmerized by the false promises of pharmaceutical industry marketing copy, as well as inundated with aggressively marketed dietary supplements, many of which are manufactured by the same companies making a killing off patented chemicals (Bayer owns One A Day, Pfizer owns Centrum), it is reassuring to know that the kitchen pantry will never fail us…
Inexpensive, time-tested, safe and delicious, many spices are attaining recognition for being, quite literally, ‘life saving,’ which is likely one reason why, in ancient times, many were worth their weight in gold.
This time around, the health benefits of ancient ‘folk remedies’ like garlic are being confirmed by straight-laced men and women in lab coats. Which, when it comes to the conventional medical establishment, blighted as it is by the epistemological disease known as myopia, is considered the only valid way to ascertain the truth. Never mind the countless millions of people who, since the beginning of time, have used a different standard of proof: if it works and it is safe, then its true.
