(NaturalHealth365) A recent 2012 study by the Washington State University states that acompound from garlic is 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics used inthe treatment of intestinal infections caused by the bacterium species Campylobacterbacterium. Many other scientific research projects suggest that raw garlic has incrediblehealing properties.
Garlic, also called “the stinking rose’, has been used for many centuries as a food and medicine, it is mostoften used as an antiseptic – applied to wounds to prevent infection. In the beginning of the 18th century,in France, gravediggers supposedly drank wine mixed with crushed garlic to protect them from the plague.It was also given to soldiers – in both world wars – to prevent gangrene caused by bacterial infection. Thehealing properties of this spice ranges from anti-infective to antioxidant.
How does garlic destroy ‘unfriendly’ bacteria?A recent study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy revealed that the compound calleddiallyl sulphide effectively penetrated the protective bio-layer formed by colonies of bacteria (campylobacterbacterium). Garlic’s active ingredient dissolves this layer and eventually destroys the bacteria.
Researchers of the study noted that campylobacter is 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics – due to thepresence of its protective bio-film. They were also fascinated by the fact that garlic compounds was able todestroy the bacteria in just a fraction of the time taken by antibiotics like, erythormycin and ciprofloxacin.
Garlic contains a wide range of thiosulphinates such as allicin that are responsible for the antibacterialactivity. The nutrients, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in garlic make this condiment aremarkable natural remedy.
Garlic is a good source of minerals like, selenium, calcium and phosphorus plus a very good source ofvitamin C, B6 and manganese. It also contains different kinds of natural sugars, including fructose, glucoseand inulin.
And, let’s not forget, garlic is known for its high selenium content – higher than any other plant source.
What is the best way to prepare and eatgarlic?The way you prepare garlic influences the amount of beneficial compounds you receive from it. Heating,microwaving and even drying is found to substantially decrease the allicin and alliin content in garlic. Whenconsumed raw these compounds are at high concentration.
According to many studies – crushed raw garlic that is allowed to sit in room temperature for 10 minuteshas the highest amount of alliinase enzymes. This maximizes garlic’s ability to activate its germicidal effect.It’s really powerful!
There are many different ways garlic can be incorporated into your everyday menu. A good way to relish isto make a warm soup of tomato, basil and garlic to fight off a nagging cold or a simple juice of garlic with

If you are not a big fan of the raw garlic taste – toss the chopped garlic, at the end of cooking time, to helpretain its nutritive value. If you do need to expose garlic to heat – limit the cooking time of garlic as muchas possible. (no more than 5-10 minutes)
Tips on storing and choosing the best garlicChoose garlic that is plump and looks free of blemishes. It is best to store garlic in cool, dark place awayfrom heat – in an open basket. This will prevent sprouting of garlic and maximum freshness.
Garlic has a strong sulfurous smell and is not attractive to pests, so it is more likely to be pesticide-free.Although garlic supplements are available in the market, not all of them have the same amount of activeingredients.
When choosing garlic supplements – look for freeze-dried, dried or aged garlic extracts. If you areplanning to buy supplements read the label thoroughly for their ingredients, it is better to choosesupplements with standardized ingredients to be sure you are receiving enough of the active compounds inthe pills.
While synthetic antibiotics are losing their effect against ‘superbugs’ – garlic is certainly a safe and aneffective alternative to fight off infection without damaging the digestive tract. If you take blood-thinningdrugs like warfarin or aspirin – be sure to talk to your doctor before consuming garlic supplements.Naturally, if your doctor is not well-educated on natural therapies – find another doctor.

On Monday 5/16/16 woke up with a sore throat, and a weak feeling. I drank plentyof my favorite black Chai tea, along with Bragg apple cider vinegar with the motherin it. But i noticed a strong heartbeat to go along with the night sweats and a slightfeeling you get with a fever. Tuesday was more of the same. Wednesdaynight/Thursday morning I'd awoken soaked in sweat. That's it I said, "No more ofthis!" I had a feeling it might be pneumonia, because of the strong heartbeat. So offto the internet I went. This is where I landed. Throughout the day I swallowed 6minced cloves of garlic with a tall glass of water. So far so good. I'll see whats uptomorrow. I'll let the garlic sit minced for 10 mins before ingesting it this time. On aside note. About 6 years ago I had a mean little son-of-a-gun of a hemmeroid. Iwas even contemplating surgery. That's how bad it pained me. It pained mesooooo much. That when I came across a possible solution for it. That involvedboofing (google) it with some olive oil. I didn't hesitate. Right before bedtime I tookthe hard shell off a not to big of a clove (wink,wink) slathered her up real good, laiddown on my stomach, and off to the races we went. Doing my morning business,we parted ways. I repeated the process until the little bastard knew who was bossand absconded. That's my story. Garlic truly is a gift from the Gods!△ ▽

Take this as you will. These are my two anectodal experiences. I had a severeearache and ate a clove of really fresh raw garlic. Two hours later the pain had verymuch subsided and the next day it was gone entirely. Today i had a severe toothinfection that even though I have a high pain thresh-hold had me nodding, andmoaning. I was in very much pain. chewed a garlic bulb but it was very old and hadlittle bite yet the pain was lessened slightly. I then chewed another bulb that wasfresher and caused some discomfort over the afflicted area....An hour passed andthe pain is almost completely gone.Happy as a clam now!My advice is just to try eating "raw" garlic before going to antibiotics. 1△ ▽

Using saline wash with Netti pot also helps ... doesn't have to be Netti Pot... just a saline sinus wash. I tend to get throat and sinus problems in thewinter time when we have the fireplace going a lot and after awhile, thesmoke irritates the membranes.△ ▽

I had a severe sinus infection that spread to the back of my eye and caused myright sinus to swell shut. I lived in a lower level apartment that had mold problems.My doctor gave me antibiotics and Flownase. The antibiotics were so strong theymade me feel sick and the Flownase made my eyes feel tired and strained. Ifinished the antibiotics and stopped taking flownase and after all this I still had theinfection. I had just about given up on ever getting better when I ran across anarticle on fungal infections and garlic. I stopped eating dairy, sugar, and limitedcarbs and every night I diced up a clove of garlic and added to some juice. Within

days amazing things started to happen. My sinuses opened up and I could feel astrange burning sensation on the side of my head and on the fifth day even behindmy eye. After the burning behind my eye stopped I felt a cool sensation and I cansee better out of this eye than I have in years( no more trouble focusing) and myinfection is almost gone. My doctor thinks im crazy but I truly think that the garlicand diet created an environment that the fungus could no longer survive. I think alot of people have fungal infections that are not diagnosed correctly. Try this, garlicis a super anti- fungal/antibiotic if you give it the right setting to work. 1△ ▽

What about if I take a clove of garlic, smash it, put it in my magic bullet with somewater and then drink it (I add barley greens to it)? Does the garlic still have all thebenefit? 4△ ▽

Yes it will. You don't actually have to chew it if you don't want to. But makesure it is smashed, and finely chopped, and has stood for 10 minutes. Thenit would be fine to just drink it down with any drink....water, barley greensetc△ ▽
