Garlic - What Doesn't This Health Food Do? That is a shorter list than the list of what garlic can do for your health. Just don't give it to your dog because dogs get anaemia from it.
I don't know if garlic keeps vampires away, but I've watched mosquitoes land on my arms then move on again without biting me. After all, there were other people near me who didn't stink of garlic!
To sum up, Garlic is one of the most powerful health foods. It prevents and may cure heart problems and cancer, and it is a very powerful antibiotic, which is useful because bugs are getting resistant to conventional antibiotics.
Antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral
Garlic is widely respected for its powerful ability to fight cancer and heart problems. What isn't so widely known is that it is a powerful killer of microbes.
This is particularly valuable nowadays as abuse of antibiotics has resulted in antibiotic-resistant bacteria infesting hospitals with no conventional way to destroy them. Antibiotics were only ever good at killing bacteria, but garlic not only kills bacteria, but it kills fungi (moulds mildews etc) and viruses.
That means that when a doctor prescribes antibiotics for your flu he is trying to take advantage of your ignorance. Flu is caused by a virus, so antibiotics can't fight the virus. They might fight the bacteria that invade your throat after flu virus weakens your immune system, but garlic can fight all the bugs as well as attacking viruses.
If you have an ear infection crush two cloves of garlic (or blend them) with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Warm the resulting paste for half an hour in a double boiler, or in an oven set to less than boiling temperature. Strain the oil, and when just comfortably warm put some into your ears with an eye-dropper, or get someone else to put some in with a teaspoon. The oil will soften any wax and help the garlic to kill the infection.
The only problem is that garlic is most effective raw, so you might prefer to be cheated by the doctor rather than eat raw garlic! However, if you have a blender, just blend two cloves of garlic with anything strong-tasting that you like, such as an orange. If you're not allergic to peanuts blend in a tablespoon of peanut paste, which will hide the taste of almost anything. My breakfast consists of a 1.5 liter (6 cup) blend of fruit and vegetables with garlic, ginger powder, brewers yeast and a couple of large eggs. I don't taste the garlic in that lot.
Garlic has a very broad healing effect
Garlic and its preparations have been widely recognized as agents for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and other metabolic diseases, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, hypertension and diabetes.
Garlic and Cancer
Perhaps I'll write an article about garlic and cancer prevention. It is too big a subject to include here. Just eat garlic meanwhile. All I'll say here is that in one experiment, people in the advanced stages of cancer were injected with cancer juice. Though there were no cures, most of the tumours shrank considerably. Probably if the experiment had continued long enough the tumours would have shrunk till they disappeared.
Cardiovascular Disorders and Garlic
What follows is my attempt to convert a long scientific article into everyday language and shorten it at the same time. There are more than 180 references alone, and you won't want to follow them up unless you are a serious research worker. But you might be able to get some of them from a library near you if a title catches your imagination.

Abstract
It is a great challenge for scientists all over the world to make a proper use of garlic and enjoy its maximum beneficial effect as it is the cheapest way to prevent cardiovascular disease.This review has attempted to make a bridge the gap between experimental and clinical study and to discuss the possible mechanisms of such therapeutic actions of garlic.
It will cover the history of garlic as a healing food, atherosclerosis and fat metabolism, fibres, blood platelet clumping, lowering blood pressure, diabetis, other heart protection from garlic, toxic effect on some animals (don't give garlic to your dog to protect it from mosquitoes - it will get anaemia) and a whole lot of references for further reading.
Food can cause as well as cure many diseases. Fruits, herbs and spices lower the risk of heart problems. Nobody knows exactly how garlic works because it is too complicated, but it seems to
- protect against cardiovascular diseases
- protect against cancer
- stimulate the immune system
- detoxify poison getting into the body from outside
- protect the liver
- antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal
- antioxidant
Historical perspective of garlic
Races of people that never met discovered how powerful garlic was at fighting disease just by observation. According to Sumerian clay tablets dating from 2600?2100 BC. Garlic was an important medicine to the ancient Egyptians listed in the medical text Codex Ebers (ca. 1550 BC) specially for the working class involved in heavy labor [1,2].
There is evidence that during the earliest Olympics in Greece, garlic was fed to the athletes for increasing stamina [1]. In ancient Chinese medicine, garlic was prescribed to aid respiration and digestion, most importantly diarrhea and worm infestation [3].
Three ancient medical traditions in India i.e., Tibbi, Unani and Auryveda, made extensive use of garlic as a central part of the healing efficacy of plants [2]. The leading Indian ancient medical text, Charaka-Samhita recommends garlic for the treatment of heart disease and arthritis for over many centuries. In another ancient Indian medical textbook, Bower Manuscript (~300 AD), garlic was used for fatigue, parasitic disease, digestive disorder and leprosy [4].
With the onset of Renaissance, increasing attention was paid in Europe to the medical use of garlic. A leading physician of the 16th century, Pietro Mattiali of Siena, prescribed garlic for digestive disorders, infestation with worms and renal disorders, as well as to help mother during difficult childbirth [2].
In England, garlic was used for toothache, constipation, dropsy and plague [4]. In modern era scientists have been trying to validate many of these properties of garlic, specially in terms of the identity of the active components, their mechanisms of action and exploring the potential benefits as food supplements.
Most studies have been of raw garlic because it is the commonest way of garlic consumption. There are other preparations, but this website is about food cures, not about fancy extracts.
Atherosclerosis and fat metabolism
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease, caused by the excessive response of the body to damage of artery walls. Garlic is well known for its ability to fight atherosclerosis and lower fat in the arteries.Animal studies
Several groups of investigators [8-14] studied the effects of long term (2?9 months) feeding of garlic and garlic preparations (2% garlic powder in diet) on experimental atherosclerosis induced in rabbits. Most of these studies reported an average decrease in atherosclerosis of 50%.
Human studies
The authors were confused because tests for the ability of garlic to lower cholesterol were inconclusive and conflicting. They obviously still believe the
http://healthforu.info/health/diethealth/Saturated-Fat-Food-Lies.php ">
cholesterol myth or the would have known that these tests are irrelevant. What matters is that garlic helps heart conditions whatever the unknown mechanism might be.
Fibrinolytic Activity
A problem with the blood system is in the coagulation of fibrin in the blood vessels. Fibrinolytic activity is the ability of the body to dissolve the clots that are formed. Garlic strengthens the FA.
Animals studies
Rabbits getting garlic oils equivalent to raw bulbs at 0.1% per day of bodyweight, had greatly increased FA. Bear in mind that clotting can be desirable. Some people can bleed to death because their blood won't clot.
Human studies
Almost all human studies on fibrinolytic activity of garlic have been found to have positive effect (Table- 2). Acute as well as chronic intake of garlic oil and raw garlic increased fibrinolytic activity (FA).
Platelet aggregation
When platelets clump together in a blood vessel that is already partially obstructed (atherosclerosis) it can cause a complete blockage Studies have shown that garlic can inhibit platelet clumping.
Animal studies
Experiments with rabbits indicate that garlic may be beneficial in the prevention of thrombosis if ingested raw rather in a cooked form [62,63]. Other experiments with dogs, mice, cow, guineapig, horse, monkey, pig, rabbit and rat showed that garlic was capable of inhibiting the clumping of platelets in blood samples in the laboratory.
Human Study
In human studies a positive response to garlic has been observed. Raw garlic, garlic oil and other extract of garlic have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation in in vitro
The authors then discuss some possible theories about how the garlic has the effect that it has.
Blood pressure lowering effect
Diets that are high in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products; have been shown to reduce hypertension. Increased consumption of garlic is associated with lower incidence of hypertension in populations.
Animal Studies
Experiments on rats and dogs also indicate a 'normalizing' effect of garlic on elevated blood pressure [93,95-98]. The antihypertensive effect of garlic in these studies has been repeatedly confirmed. Prolongation of life span was also found in hypertensive rats by dietary supplementation with garlic [105].
Human study
Leoper and DeBray recognized the hypotensive effect of garlic in 1921 [106].
See the extensive references at the end of this article for many articles on this subject. Those reports point in the same direction, that garlic can be useful in the control of hypertension in many if not all cases.
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Abnormalities in the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, and fat are also present [122]. Nutrition plays a primary role to control blood glucose level and further complication.
Animal studies
Most of the studies showed that garlic can reduce blood glucose level in diabetic mice [127,133], rats [124,129,130], and rabbit [131,132].
Human study
All human studies (Table- 5), except one or two, showing effect of garlic on blood glucose level on normal healthy individuals but not in diabetic patients. This is a good example of the fact that we shouldn't trust animal nutrition tests to mean the same as human nutrition tests.
Other cardioprotective properties of garlic
Animal study
Your heart should beat in a regular rhythm with a standard pattern. When something goes wrong with this rhythm there is trouble. Garlic was shown in animal to correct the rhythm.
Raw garlic increased the antioxidants in the blood.
Human Study
The Aorta is an enormous blood vessel which tends to become less elastic with age.
In population, consuming garlic for long period, attenuation of age-related increase in aortic stiffness has been observed. This suggests a protective effect on the elastic properties of the aorta related to aging in human [155]. A number of other beneficial effects on the circulatory system was observed.
Adverse effects
Considering the fact that garlic has been an integral part of our diet for centuries, it is taken for granted that garlic is safe in a wide range of doses. But a few isolated reports highlight some of the adverse and toxic effects of garlic. Bear in mind that what poisons your dog might be good for you and vice versa.
Animal study
Prolonged feeding of high levels of raw garlic in rats has resulted in anemia, weight loss and failure to grow due to lysis of red blood cells [159]. That is just one of many toxic results that have been discovered for animals.Human study
Chinese doctors advise you not to eat more than ten cloves of garlic per day. Your friends would all leave the room when you came in because of the stink if you ate ten cloves of garlic each day. I always advise people to eat garlic to stop noticing how I smell.
Allergic reactions are fairly common as is the case with most foods.
Ingestion of fresh garlic and garlic powder may have additive effects with anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, leading in one case to a life-threatening hemorrhage [175-179].
That is just repeating what I said about the clotting factor being necessary to us? we must have a balance.
Conclusions
Populations that eat more garlic tend to have fewer blood system problems.
