And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for food.....Genesis 1.29 Let thy food be thy medicine...Hippocrates "No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means." ..... Maimonides There's a theme here! Food is our best medicine and garlic a miracle herb is not only tasty but a powerful source of healing properties Garlic...if it wards off Vampires imagine what else it can do!  Kieth Ward Illustrator Allium sativum Garlic, has been used by humans for thousands of years and was used in Ancient Egypt for both culinary purposes and its health and therapeutic benefits. Researchers are catching up to what Traditional Medicine has known for centuries, garlic is antimicrobial and has antibiotic properties. Hippocrates promoted the use of garlic for treating respiratory problems, parasites, poor digestion, and fatigue. Currently, garlic is widely used for several conditions linked to the blood system and heart, including atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, heart attack, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. Garlic is also used today by some people for the prevention of cancers. Organo-sulfur compounds found in garlic have been identified as effective in destroying the cells in glioblastomas, a type of deadly brain tumor. Scientists at the Medical University of South Carolina reported in the journal Cancer that three pure organo-sulfur compounds from garlic - DAS, DADS, and DATS - "demonstrated efficacy in eradicating brain cancer cells, but DATS proved to be the most effective. "Diallyl sulfide, a compound in garlic, was 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics in fighting the Campylobacter bacterium, according to a study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. The Campylobacter bacterium is one of the most common causes of intestinal infections. Senior author, Dr. Xiaonan Lu, from Washington State University, said, "This work is very exciting to me because it shows that this compound has the potential to reduce disease-causing bacteria in the environment and in our food supply. "Diallyl trisulfide, a component of garlic oil, helps protect the heart during cardiac surgery and after a heart attack", researchers at Emory University School of Medicine found. They also believe diallyl trisulfide could be used as a treatment for heart failure. Hydrogen sulfide gas has been shown to protect the heart from damage. However, it is a volatile compound and difficult to deliver as therapy. Because of this, the scientists decided to focus on diallyl trisulfide, a garlic oil component, as a safer way to deliver the benefits of hydrogen sulfide to the heart. Aren't they so smart! It's wonderful to see researches catching onto what those of us who have been eating to a natural diet and using traditional forms of medicine and healing have known that garlic is the King of Detoxifying foods. Fresh raw garlic can be considered a daily tonic against all sorts of ills and is particularly useful in eradication of bacterial overgrowth in the gut. Including H-pylori and candida. It support of cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, respiratory congestion, liver detox, the list of benefits goes on and on. Raw is best, cooked is okay too. The bottom line. Get this super food into your body on a daily basis. It's inexpensive, easy to use and taste GREAT!
