Healing Properties of Allicin, The Heart of Garlic
According to the British Journal of Biomedical Science, allicin
is considered to be the most potent antibacterial agent in crushed garlic
extracts. Garlic has been used since the days of the Egyptians to treat
wounds, infections, tumors, and intestinal parasites. Several animal
studies published between 1995 and 2005 indicate that allicin may
reduce atherosclerosis and fat deposition, normalize the lipoprotein balance,
decrease blood pressure, have anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities,
and function as an antioxidant. Garlic has been widely reported to protect
against cardiovascular disease by reducing serum cholesterol concentrations
and blood pressure and by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Garlic
detoxifies chemical carcinogens and prevent carcinogenesis and can also
directly inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Allicin, the heart of garlic,
stimulates immunity, including macrophage activity, natural killer and
killer cells, and LAK cells, and to increase the production of IL-2, TNF,
and interferon-gamma.
Allicin has been referred to as "Mother Nature's defender,"
"The Heart of Garlic," which happens to be the name of a recent book by
Peter
Josling, Director of the Garlic Centre in East Sussex, United Kingdom,
and more recently, "Nature's Antibiotic." They all seem appropriate when
you consider that years of research conducted at the Garlic Centre, the
world's leading garlic research center, have proven the pharmacological
activities of allicin in many areas, including: anticoagulation, antihypertensive,
antimicrobial, antibiotic, antiparasitic, antimycotic, antiviral, antitumoral,
antioxidant, anti-aging, antiplatelet, detoxifies heavy metals, fibrinolusis,
Humoral immunity (refers to antibody production, and all the accessory
processes that accompany it), hypolipidaemic (lipid-lowering), and immune
enhancer and modulator.
Medical researchers in America and Oxford, England have shown allicin
to reduce total cholesterol levels by 12 to 40% when larger than maintenance
amounts of allicin are consumed for a period of six weeks. Significant
reduction of blood pressure was also experienced by the test subjects.
John Hopkins Medical School reports that the most common cause of sinusitis
is a fungal infection. Allicin is very effective with many fungi, including
Aspergillus, Candida, Coccidioides, Cryptotoccocci, Histoplasma and Trichophyton.
This book will show you how
to combat and even reverse a wide range of ailments especially microbial
disease caused by bacterial, fungal and viral infections, including: Allergies,
Bacterial Infections, Colds, Diarrhea, Gum Disease, Ringworm, Arthritis,
Bites, Cold Sores, Eczema, Lyme, Sinusitis, Asthma, Candidiasis, Colitis,
Enviromental Toxins, Cholesterol, Viral Disease, Athlete's Foot, Chest
Infections, Congestion, Fungal Infections, Psoriasis, Wound Infections
and lots more! You will learn how Allicin
can:
*Protect you from viral diseases
spreading across the world
*Defend you against fatal
infections like TB, smallpox, and flesh eating bacteria
*Learn how to prevent the
deadly "superbug" MRSA from spreading throughout the healthy population
as well as among those who are most vulnerable *Save money on your doctor
and hospital bills
*Protect your body from
further diseasea and a wide range of enviromental toxins
*Prevent infections from
returning to invade your body Peter Josling is Director of the Garlic Center
based in Sussex, England, established in 1993 to provide an independent
source of information about the medicinal, culinary and general properties
of garlic. The garlic Center also advises commercial companies, research
establishments, goverment agencies and the press and media. in 1997, Josling
also formed a specialty chemicals division to provide key garlic components
including alliin, allicin and ajoene for research and product formulation.
Recently he led a team of Chemiss and Chemical Engineers in the invention,
development and manufacture of the Worlds first commercially available,
stabilized and patented Allicin extract formulated into capsules, liquids
and cremes, all to carry the name Allisure as a guarantte of real allicin
actually in the products. Most of which show a significant ability to kill
multi-drug resistant bacteria.
Recently, researchers in Pennsylvania have shown that by injecting an
allicin
compound called diallyl disulfide, tumors can be reduced by half. Allicin
breaks down in the body to diallyl disulfide. By adding the sulfur compound,
sallylcysteine, it can stop cancer-causing agents from binding to human
breast cells. In Iowa, a large group of 41,837 women, aged 55-69, were
monitored for cancer incidence for five years via the State Health Registry.
The results showed that consumption of garlic was inversely associated
with risk of developing colon cancer, similar to earlier studies done with
vegetable and fruit consumption.
Allicin
KILLS MRSA - Currently, there are several National Health Service hospitals
in the UK that use allicin to treat methicillin resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) that have become resistant to all penicillin drugs, like
methicillin, oxacillin, and amoxicillin. According to the British Journal
of Biomedical Science, 2004 61 (2), "allicin
is considered to be the most potent antibacterial agent in crushed garlic
extracts." This
paper describes the main biological properties of stabilised allicin
(Diallyl thiosulfinate) and confirmed activity against multi-drug resistant
bacterial infections such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA). Several case studies are reported to show how stabilised allicin
in capsule, cream, and liquid formulations can be used to resolve existing
MRSA infections that were completely resistant to pharmaceutical antibiotic
treatment. Patients generally found the treatments very acceptable and
free from side effects. Clearly, stabilised allicin formulations offer
a safe natural alternative or addition to drug treatment and are seen to
be very effective in terms of both resolution of infection and wound healing
capabilities. more
Garlic
has been used since the days of the Egyptians to treat wounds, infections,
tumors, and intestinal parasites. Garlic's reputation as a powerful medical
herb dates back to over 5,000 years. It's usage's vary throughout it's
history. For instance, the Encyclopedia reports that "Four garlic bulbs
were found in King Tut's tumb, obviously intended to feed the pharao h
in afterlife. Roman gladiators ate garlic before combat, and Roman nobleman
gave garlic to their laborers and soldiers". During World War II, a time
when antibiotics were scarce, garlic was placed in the wounds to prevent
infection. Needless to say, garlic has been in existence for many years
with the intention of healing.
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a member of the lily family along with onions.
Garlic is a rich source of allin, allicin, chromium, phosphorous, and sulfur
containing amino acids. A compound Diallyl sulfide (DADS) is found in garlic
oil and is shown to inact ivate potent carcinogens in animal studies. DADS
reduces the metabolism of nitrosamine (a lethal, naturally occurring carcinogen
produced by the liver).
A
handful of Americans can say that "Garlic is good for you because it thins
your blood or is good for your heart." However, the benefits of garlic
in regards to one's health is far more entailed than one might think. According
to the National Cancer In stitute, garlic lies among the top of the list
of foods ingested as a potential weapon against many types of cancer. With
all of the recent research done on garlic and it's medical purposes, I
can validate the reasons for it's prevention against many typ es of health
related issues. Garlic contains agents that protect us from breast, colon,
and gastric cancer. It also inhibits the growth of tumors and lowers serum
cholesterol.
The health benefits in regards to garlic are empowering. Recent research
indicates that garlic is sought to be a protective agent against various
cancers. Nickolay Dimitrov, Ph.D., of Michigan State University at Lansing,
said that "aged garlic extract, when fed to human volunteers, inhibited
breast cancer formation by promoting the beneficial prostaglandin Es, hormone-
like substances, in the serum and by stimulating the phagocytic, scavenger
cell, activity of the white blood cells to devour carcinogen s." This finding
is a positive step in the prevention of breast cancer, which is the leading
cause of cancer among women. The National Cancer Society estimates that
183,000 new cases of this cancer are diagnosed each year in the United
States.
John Miller, Ph.D., of Pennsylvania State University reported in April
of 1995, that "a compound in garlic shrinks tumors from human growth cells
that were transplanted in mice. Considering lung, colon and skin cancers
are the three most common human can cers, Sujatha Sundaram, Penn State
doctoral student in nutrition, describes how diallyl disulfide depressed
the growth of these human cancer cells or killed them. Diallyl disulfide
(DADS), effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells works on
colon, skin and lung cancer even though the rate of growth differs among
the three.
Dr. Herbert Pierson, formerly with the Designer Foods Research Program
at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), says that "evidence concerning
garlic's anti- cancer benefits in people has been mounting steadily. Several
different studies have shown a link between garlic and lower incidences
of stomach cancer; another study shows lower risks of colorectal cancer.
Another finding from the University of Limburg in the Netherlands, used
epidemiological data from China and Italy indicates that with diets ric
h in garlic can reduce the risk of gastric cancer.
A study conducted by William Harris, Ph.D., director of the Lipid and
Arthiosclerosis Prevention Clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center
at Lawrence reported new evidence that "garlic protects the LDL particles
in a way that makes them less susc eptible to free- radical oxidation."
Furthermore, "The oxidation process has been liked to heart disease. Thus,
this preliminary research implies that concentrated garlic tablets may
reduce the risk of heart disease through garlic's antioxidant powers."
Several studies hint that garlic has the ability to reduced cholesterol,
as well as combat plaque formation in the arteries. Studies have looked
at garlic extract and garlic powder as well as isolating the components
of garlic. Garlic's ability to lower serum cholesterol in the blood can
in turn reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A study conducted on
the amount of garlic and onions consumed and the effects of triglyceride
and cholesterol levels was done by dividing volunteer's into three grou
ps based on their dietary habits: "1) those who ate liberal amounts of
garlic and onions; 2) those who ate small amounts of garlic and onions;
and 3) those who did not eat garlic and onions at all". "Researchers then
compared the cholesterol and triglyc eride levels of the three groups,"
Mimdell reported. "Those who ate garlic and onions liberally averaged 25
percent lower in cholesterol levels than those who abstained. Those who
ate liberal amounts of garlic and onions had an average of half the trigl
ycerides of those who didn't eat garlic or onions ." Mimdell concluded
that "Aggressive research shows that garlic effectively reduces the blood
cholesterol levels in two ways, first, it slows down endogenous cholesterol
synthesis, your body's own man ufacture of cholesterol. Secondly, garlic
helps your body transport fats from the tissues where they are stored to
the bloodstream, which enables them to be eliminated from the body.
Of the many beneficial actions of garlic, inhibition of the growth of
cancer
is perhaps the most remarkable. Garlic can detoxify carcinogens
by stimulation of cytochrome P(450) enzymes, antioxidant activity or sulfur
compound binding. Studies demonstrate a direct toxic effect of garlic to
bladder
cancer and other malignancies, sarcoma and gastric, colon and prostate
cancer cells in tissue culture. The most likely explanation of this
effect is immune stimulation. Comparison of the effects of garlic to BCG
immunotherapy reveals many similarities. Both stimulate proliferation of
lymphocytes and macrophage phagocytosis, induce the infiltration of macrophages
and lymphocytes in transplanted tumors, induce splenic hypertrophy, stimulate
release of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma,
enhance natural killer cell, killer cell and lymphokine-activated killer
cell activity. These activities represent effective stimulation of the
immune response. Studies suggest that garlic may be useful in preventing
the suppression of immune response that is associated with increased risk
of malignancy. Data suggest that maintenance of immune stimulation can
significantly reduce the risk of cancer. (Lamm D
& Riggs D, J Nutr, 131(3): 1067S, 2001) more...
Biochemist Peter
Josling, author of 'Allicin,
the Heart of Garlic', speaks with Campaign for Truth in Medicine founder,
Phillip Day, about the many health benefits of garlic and its active ingredient,
allicin.
Research shows garlic
(allicin) contains compounds that can help prevent and cure infections,
certain types of cancers including, stomach, skin, breast, esophageal,
oral, and colon, reduce the bodies stress from pollution, enhance the
immune system, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, arthritis, asthma,
circulatory problems, colds and flu, digestive disorders, insomnia, liver
disease, sinusitis, and ulcers. Garlic is good for virtually any disease
or infection.
Allicin has been referred
to as "Mother Nature's defender," "The
Heart of Garlic," which happens to be the name of a recent book by
Peter Josling, Director of the Garlic Centre in East Sussex, United Kingdom,
and more recently, "Nature's Antibiotic."
Jonathan Isaacsohn, M.D., of Yale University said that "recent
scientific studies have confirmed the folklore belief that garlic has therapeutic
benefits on serum lipids". The study that confirms this statement was the
largest study conducted by the Germ an Association of General Practitioners.
"261 patients were randomized to receive either 800 mg. of garlic powder
per day (standardized to contain 1.3 percent allin) or a placebo and to
maintain this therapy for four months," Isaacsohn said. "The choles terol
levels were reduced by 12 percent and the triglyceride levels by 17 percent.
Those patients with higher baseline levels of cholesterol (greater than
250 mg/dl) achieved greater cholesterol lowering".
Eric Block, Ph.D., professor and chairman of the department of chemistry
at the State University of New York at Albany, found interest with garlic
and it's anti-clotting characteristics. Because blood clots contribute
not only the leading cause of death in the United States but is also one
of the major causes of heart attacks, Block focused on researching garlic
and it's ability to reduce clotting. Garlic helps prevent the formation
of blood clots which in turn aids in the promotion of good circulation.
Block discovered that there is a naturally occurring compound in garlic
called ajoene, "which seems to be the most active to change the surface
membrane of Platelet cells so they're less likely to stick together". Ajoene
may also affect the platelet's ability to produce thromboxane, a chemical
that causes clumping," Block said.
Among
garlic's preventative, cancer characteristics, it also has many therapeutic
advantages. It is a natural, potent antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal
herb. A study done at Boston University School of Medicine, conducted tests
in which garlic proved to be as effective as an antibiotic in killing 14
types of bacteria in reoccurring ear infections among children. Not only
does garlic reduce cholesterol and help prevent the formation of internal
blood clots that trigger heart attacks but it is also a diuretic, a stimulant,
an expectorant and a sweat promoter. For centuries, garlic has been a popular
remedy for common colds, coughs, and sore throats.

Garlic is one of natures most broad spectrumed, antibacterial agents.
It counteracts the growth of many forms of bacteria and fungi that cause
disease. Allicin, the compound found in fresh garlic that constitutes antibiotic
and anti-fungal properties, k ills or at least cripples 72 infectious forms
of bacteria. Among the list of bacteria's that spread are diarrhea, dysentery
(an infectious disease of the colon, with painful diarrhea that becomes
mucous and hemorrhagic), botulism, tuberculosis and enceph alitis among
other diseases. As scientists struggle to find new ways to fight bacteria
that resist almost every drug in the antibiotic arsenal, a group of Boston
University Medical researchers have made a significant discovery about
garlic. "It's a surprisingly effective weapon agai nst some of the most
dangerous antibiotic - resistant bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus
pneumonia. Researchers found that an aqueous extract of fresh garlic cloves
was effective against more than a common strains of bacteria". Sulfides,
which are found in garlic and cruciferous vegetables, are compounds which
deactivate steroidal hormones and promote the growth of tumors and inhibit
carcinogens. Also sulfides reduce blood pressure and prevent the formation
of blood - clots whi ch can cause heart attacks and strokes. Because garlic
enhances the activity in the immune system and increases the number of
natural killer cells, it's ability to destroy tumor cells, virus infected
cells and foreign invaders increase. If garlic has th e ability to dramatically
enhance the immune system of healthy people than it might be able to help
people with a compromised immune system, such as AIDS patients. "Research
conducted by Dr. Tarig Abdullah and his colleagues at the Akbar Clinic
and Rese arch Center in Panama City, Florida, led to the conclusion that
raw garlic and the Japanese garlic extract Kyolic dramatically increased
the ability of the immune system's natural killer cells. The result of
this research could have important implicatio ns for the treatment of infections,
cancer, and even AIDS. Dr. Abdullah believes that garlic may speed up the
immune defenses and may combat many fungal- type infections".
It's
ability to reduce blood pressure is an herbal and medical breakthrough.
The significance of garlic being a very effective natural and anti- hypertensive
agent should be widely recognized. Author Robert Crayhon, M.S., says "garlic
has been found to lower both diastolic and systolic blood pressure when
consumed regularly. Garlic has been found to be an important stimulator
of the body's defense system, or the immune system." Crayhon goes on to
say that "garlic has been shown to lower blood sugar lev els. This is of
value to diabetics who often take medication to keep blood sugar levels
normal".
In one study, Arun Bardia, M.D., gave garlic to one group of people
who had suffered myocardial infraction more than a year before. Another
group was given garlic within 24 hours after their heart attack. He reported
that "garlic led to a swift, signif icant rise in fibrinolytic activity
within a few hours." Whatever the concentration of study, it is comforting
to know that an organic substance has the properties of fighting infection
and preventing forms of cancer and diseases. However this begins th e technical
saga with the FDA and it's stringent regulations.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency that is responsible
for the protection of the world's health. Garlic, a cultivated herb that
has many health advantages can't be marketed if any hints of it's medical
purposes exist on the label . An agency that is so concerned about our
Nation's health leaves the population limited to knowledge regarding natural
herb's with medical advantages. If garlic were to be sold and it's label
advertised "Garlic lowers serum cholesterol in the blood" it would be confiscated
off the market. "Earlier this year, the Journal of the Royal College of
Physicians of London, a prestigious medical journal , analyzed 16 studies
to conclude that, compared with people who took placebos, garlic users
showed an aver age cholesterol reduction of 12 percent. A similar review
of other studies last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed that
eating just one clove of garlic a day reduced cholesterol levels an average
of 9 percent".
With
the incidence of hyper- cholesterol on the rise, the public awaits a medical
breakthrough. It might be common knowledge for Physicians and those in
the health professions that garlic helps reduce cholesterol levels significantly,
but what about the rest of the world? Why do government agencies prohibit
the advertisement of natural herbal medicine if it does in fact promote
better health?
If one herb has crossed the boundaries between food and medicine it
is garlic. It's existence has been utilized as a medical herb that has
the potential to prevent, heal and ward off bacteria. Americans do not
realize the full value of garlic. Heart at tacks are the leading cause
of death in the United States averaging about 1.5 million deaths a year.
Studies suggest that garlic might help prevent up to 360,000 of them, which
averages about 30,000 a month.
For those people who have problems with cholesterol and seek medical
help costly drugs are the prescribed route to go. No wonder people in this
world are chemically dependent and broke. Physicians rather recommend a
drug that costs 1 to 2 dollars a day drug with side effects ranging from
as constipation, vomiting and loss of appetite, vitamin deficiencies to
bleeding. The patient will eventually return for a prescription renewal
and get more drugs to control the side effects. A simple solution as fr
esh garlic and a low fat diet is what our country needs to see more of.
I'm not saying that everyone who has high blood pressure just has to eat
garlic and everything will be OK. I'm saying that natural remedies such
as garlic are being knocked over in the supermarkets while over the counter
drugs are being promoted by the FDA. Everyone is so concerned with making
a buck that they forget about what is really healthy for us.
European countries have widely accepted the usage's of herbal medicine.
Why is it that our country is shutting out what we really need. Under the
regulations of the FDA, you can't claim an herb to be a drug. Another problem
linked to this is that consu mers are being misinformed about natural remedies.
Because the FDA is not actively regulating herb's as drugs, there is no
real way to decipher whether some products are safe, dangerous, or just
worthless.
Modern lifestyle is the main cause for modern disease. Yet, modern treatments
for modern diseases just don't seem to work. Health care costs have skyrocketed
over the years and in this country alone over 800 million is spent annually
on health care alon e. Much of these costs can be eliminated by proper
nutrition. Holistic healing, low- fat diets, a reduction of sugar and salts,
more cruciferous vegetables, fruit, grains and fiber is what needs to be
incorporated in everyone's diet. It's time to retur n to nature and it's
ability to heal. more
Recently the medical journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy have
confirmed the chemotherapeutic Effects Of Garlic. A molecular mechanism
may be the basis for some of garlic's therapeutic effects. The researchers
were able to study how garlic works at the molecular level using allicin,
garlic's main biologically active component.
One study, appeared a recent issue of the American Society for Microbiology's
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, explains how allicin fights infection.
This research supports the notion that garlic is an excellent, although
smelly, natural antimicrobial drug that can disable an unusually wide variety
of infectious organisms.
The second study, reported in Biochimica Biophysica Acta, helps to clarify
the role allicin plays in preventing heart disease and other disorders.
In the studies, the scientists revealed and characterized a molecular mechanism
by which allicin blocks certain groups of enzymes. Allicin, created when
garlic cloves are crushed, protects the plant from soil parasites and fungi
and is also responsible for garlic's pungent smell.
A natural weapon against infection, the research reported in Antimicrobial
Agents and Chemotherapy revealed allicin disables dysentery-causing amoebas
by blocking two groups of enzymes, cysteine proteinases and alcohol dehydrogenases.
Cysteine proteinase enzymes are among the main culprits in infection, providing
infectious organisms with the means to damage and invade tissues. Alcohol
dehydrogenase enzymes play a major role in these harmful organisms' metabolism
and survival. Because these groups of enzymes are found in a wide variety
of infectious organisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, this research
provides a scientific basis for the notion that allicin is a broad-spectrum
antimicrobial, capable of warding off different types of infections.
"It has long been argued that garlic can fight a wide range of infections
and now we have provided biochemical evidence for this claim," the authors
write. The role of allicin in warding off infection may be particularly
valuable in light of the growing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. It
is unlikely that bacteria would develop resistance to allicin because this
would require modifying the very enzymes that make their activity possible.
Scientists found that allicin blocks the enzymes by reacting with one
of their important components known as sulfhydryl (SH) groups, or thiols.
This finding has important implications because sulfhydryl groups are also
crucial components of some enzymes that participate in the synthesis of
cholesterol. By reacting with and modifying the sulfhydryl groups in those
enzymes, allicin may prevent the production of artery clogging cholesterol.
"It has been suggested that garlic lowers the levels of harmful cholesterol,
and our study provides a possible explanation for how this may occur,"
the authors write. "However, more research is necessary to establish what
role allicin might play in preventing the clogging up of arteries."
Complicating the issue is the concern blocking sulfhydryl groups in
proteins may sometimes be harmful because these groups are also present
in enzymes involved in some of the body's vital processes. However, unlike
most bacteria, human tissue cells contain detoxifying molecules of a substance
called glutathione, which helps maintain appropriate sulfhydryl levels.
These glutathione molecules can reverse the anti-sulfhydryl effects of
small amounts of allicin.
Measuring antioxidant activity while reaction with sulfhydryl groups
appears to explain most of allicin's activity, it has also been suggested
allicin acts as an antioxidant. The study reported in BBA confirmed this
antioxidant effect and for the first time provided its quantitative assessment.
Antioxidants gobble up harmful free radicals believed to contribute to
tumor growth, atherosclerosis, aging and other processes. Producing pure
allicin in large quantities in nature, allicin is created when garlic cloves
are cut into or crushed. The cutting or crushing causes two components
of garlic, alliin and the enzyme alliinase, to interact.
The pure allicin can be stored for months without losing its effectiveness.
In contrast, allicin extracted normally loses its beneficial properties
within hours because it begins to react with garlic's other components
as soon as the clove is crushed. The extracts are taken from Allicin -
Garlic's Magic Bullet by Peter Josling In this publication you will find
in depth information about allicin and and all its properties.

Garlic
and Pregnancy Cut the complications of pregnancy naturally with garlic
New research shows that taking garlic during pregnancy can cut the risk
of pre-eclampsia (raised blood pressure and protein retained in the urine).
Studies reveal that garlic may help to boost the birth-weight of babies
destined to be too small. The research was carried out by Dr D Sooranna,
Ms J Hirani and Dr I Das in the Academic Department of Obstertrics &
Gynaecology at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in London UK. They
concluded that although pre-eclampsia and growth retardation are complex
multifactoral conditions, taking standardised garlic tablets (for further
details please contact us) throughout pregnancy may decrease the chances
of these types of complictions at birth. They focussed on growth retarded
babies and pre-eclampsia, a potentially dangerous condition for mother
and baby which occurs in about one in ten pregnancies. Experiments by the
research team showed that adding extracts of garlic to cells from the placenta
of women likely to suffer from these conditions was able to quickly stimulate
growth. Furthermore, the activity of key enzemes that are reduced in the
abnormal pregnancies were significantly increased when garlic was added.
Medicinal Healing Garlic
Recipes (from this educational website)
garlic supplements have an important part to play in the treatment of high
cholesterol and that this paper reviews all the published and unpublished
data from around the world. Overall a 12% reduction in total cholesterol
was shown over a placebo and that this reduction was normally evident after
only 4 weeks treatment and that this was likely to persist for as long
as the study was in progress.
Syrup of Garlic is an invaluable
medicine for asthma, hoarseness, coughs, difficulty of breathing, and most
other disorders of the lungs, being of particular virtue in chronic bronchitis,
on account of its powers of promoting expectoration.
It is made by pouring a quart
of water, boiled hot, upon a pound of the fresh root, cut into slices,
and allowed to stand in a closed vessel for twelve hours, sugar then being
added to make it of the consistency of syrup. Vinegar and honey greatly
improve this syrup as a medicine. A little caraway and sweet fennel seed
bruised and boiled for a short time in the vinegar before it is added to
the Garlic, will cover the pungent smell of the latter.
A
remedy for asthma, that was formerly most popular, is a syrup of Garlic,
made by boiling the bulbs till soft and adding an equal quantity of vinegar
to the water in which they have been boiled, and then sugared and boiled
down to a syrup. The syrup is then poured over the boiled bulbs, which
have been allowed to dry meanwhile, and kept in a jar. Each morning a bulb
or two is to be taken, with a spoonful of the syrup.
Syrup made by melting 1½
oz. of lump sugar in 1 oz. of the raw expressed juice may be given to children
in cases of coughs without inflammation.
The successful treatment
of tubercular consumption by Garlic has been recorded, the freshly expressed
juice, diluted with equal quantities of water, or dilute spirit of wine,
being inhaled antiseptically.
Bruised and mixed with lard,
it has been proved to relieve whooping-cough if rubbed on the chest and
between the shoulder-blades.
An infusion of the bruised
bulbs, given before and after every meal, has been considered of good effect
in epilepsy.
A clove or two of Garlic,
pounded with honey and taken two or three nights successively, is good
in rheumatism.
Garlic has also been employed
with advantage in dropsy, removing the water which may already have collected
and preventing its future accumulation. It is stated that some dropsies
have been cured by it alone.
If sniffed into the nostrils,
it will revive a hysterical sufferer. Amongst physiological results, it
is reported that Garlic makes the eye retina more sensitive and less able
to bear strong light.
The juice of Garlic, and
milk of Garlic made by boiling the bruised bulbs in milk, is used as a
vermifuge.
Preparations. Juice, 10 to
30 drops. Syrup, 1 drachm. Tincture, ½ to 1 drachm.
Wine of Garlic-made by macerating
three or four bulbs in a quart of proof spirit is a good stimulant lotion
for baldness of the head.
Used in cookery it is a great
aid to digestion, and keeps the coats of the stomach healthy. For this
reason, essential oil is made from it and is used in the form of pills.
Top doctors have revealed that the combination of raw
organic garlic, raw organic apple cider vinegar and raw organic honey
is a wonder drug that can cure everything from cancer to arthritis. Amazing
studies from respected universities around the world prove the miracle
home remedy that costs just pennies a day to make, is a super way to fight
just about any affliction. Experts have verified that this health restoring
trio of garlic, vinegar and honey can wipe out both common and uncommon
aliments. Successes include ache, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, asthma,
high blood pressure, haemorrhoids, infertility and impotence, toothaches,
obesity, ulcers and many other diseases and conditions. In a study of arthritis
victims, Dr. Angus Peters of the University of Edinburgh's Arthritis
Research Institute found a daily dose of vinegar and honey reduced
pains by 90 percent.
A daily dose of raw organic garlic and raw organic vinegar has proved
to be a powerful fat destroyer and weight reducer, according to Dr.
Raymond Fish of London's famous Obesity Research Center. The prestigious
British
medical journal Lancel reported that cholesterol levels plunged on
average from 237.4 to 221.4 after volunteers consumed 50 grams of garlic
and four ounces of butter. The study proved the dangers associated with
high fat foods can be neutralised by adding garlic to your diet. A study
of 261 adult patients by the German Association of General Practitioners
indicated that serum cholesterol and triglyceride level factors associated
with the risk of heart disease, are significantly reduced by regular use
of garlic in the diet.
Studies at Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Institute in Houston, the
Pennsylvania State University and GCLA support earlier evidence that
certain ingredients in garlic block agents the cancer of the breast, colon,
oesophagus and skin. The National Cancer Institute found in a study
of 1,000 people that eating a lot of garlic is linked to a reduced risk
of stomach cancer. Dr. Etik Block of the State University of New York
at Albany has discovered garlic unleashes at least 100 sulphur producing
components, all of which are powerful medicines. There appears to be little
doubt that this astounding remedy of garlic, vinegar and honey can extend

"Over the last 80 years, organized medical groups and pharmaceutical
companies, using lawyers, bribes, lobbyist, insurance companies and the
strong arm of the Food and Drug Administration, have been very busy. They
have corrupted elected officials to pass laws to remove any competition.
They have crushed Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care. Their
goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors

foods and even nutrients illegal. Natural health professionals that flourished
a few decades ago are now barred by law to practice, and Natural Doctors,
Holistic Healers, Health Food Store Owners and even family members of the

Much research on the benefits of organic food focuses on the nutritional
quality of that food. However organic food has other health-enhancing properties
which may be even more important— medicinal properties. Of course,
the distinction between nutrition and medicine not always clear—a phenomenon
illustrated by the ways animals keep themselves well in the wild. Wild
animals have evolved a range of behavioural strategies to maintain health:
avoidance, preventive and curative strategies. Some of these strategies
are related to diet and are worthy of our attention.
Dr.Engel
provides a good reason why traditional herbology bases functions of herbs
upon taste. Animals have been doing the same thing for millions of years
and our taste buds have evolved for this purpose! For example, many species
show increased tolerance of bitter tastes when they have an active bacterial
infection. This makes sense, since herbs with natural antibiotics are usually
quite bitter. Many species will actively seek out such bitter herbs when
infected.
In captivity, gorillas suffer from serious bacterial gut infections
such as Shigellosis that can also lead to reactive arthritis, IBS and Chrons
disease. In the wild, the lowland gorillas takes 90% of their diet from
the fruits of Aframonum, a relative of the ginger plant, that is a potent
antimicrobial. Scientists were intrigued as to why such a strong antimicrobial
diet did not disrupt gut bacteria as it does in humans taking antibiotics.
What they found was that this fruit actively keeps the ‘bad’ bacteria in
check without harming the ‘good’ bacteria. In other words, Aframonum keeps
gorillas healthy as a preventive.
Cindy Engel is the author of Wild
Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We Can Learn From Them.
A timely treatise for a health-obsessed culture, this book takes the idea
of "natural remedies" quite literally. Engel, a lecturer in environmental
sciences at the U.K. Open University, has compiled a wealth of fascinating
laboratory studies and field observations on how animals treat and prevent
diseases. For millennia, humans have observed animals in the wild
eating plants and minerals and applying naturally occurring topical antitoxins
from the same sources to combat infectious wounds, parasites and internal
disorders.
Messages from pharmaceutical-industry-led medicine have misled us for
too long. Who realised, before reading Cindy Engel's book, for example,
that having a temperature is the body's mechanism for combating harmful
infection? Or that secondary compounds in food, some 'toxic', can be deliberately
ingested by animals for their protective health effects? Or that, though
we know instinctively that lemon and pine are cleansing, we may not be
aware that the volatile oils in those plants interfere with bacterial respiration
and are commonly detrimental or repellent to arthropods and insects? Cindy
Engel concludes that human beings are too much like animals in captivity
in the way we have limited our own healthcare strategies. Like Native Americans,
she advocates, we should observe animal behaviour as the first step to
achieving sustainable healthcare. More on Dr. Engel's research:

Officials from the National Institutes
of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have reported that the overuse
of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may
soon approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant. "After
40 years of pushing antibiotics for any ailment, physicians are now confronting
bacteria that have built defenses against those same drugs. Some infectious
bacteria that were once treatable are stronger and often deadly. The reappearance
of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part by the overuse of antibiotics

Dr. Schulze believes we can put the medical and pharmaceutical industries

in the human body and how to use the foods and herbs given to us by God
and Nature. Most importantly each of us must stop using and supporting
these deadly industries by learning the healthy and natural God-given alternatives.
Dangers
of Modern Medicine: Iatrogenic Diseases - The Journal of the American
Medical Association recently reported that as many as 106,000 deaths occur
annually in US hospitals due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs
that are properly prescribed by physicians that use them as directed by
the drug companies. Even worse, the National Council for Patient Information
and Education reported that an additional 125,000 deaths occur annually
due to adverse reactions to drugs that the physician never should have
prescribed. The annual death toll from synthetic prescription drugs, both
from the correctly prescribed and the incorrectly prescribed, amounts to
about 231,000 deaths every year. To put this into perspective, this is
the equivalent of a world trade center disaster every week for over a year

David M. Markowitz, M.D.:
"Did
you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics in the U.S.
last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly resistant
to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released
for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many
medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents
throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe and
natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child or
patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several ear
infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives. We now have
new HOPE . . . literally, hope in a capsule of Transfer
Factor!"
"Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules that are produced by immune
cells called T-cells. It allow the immune system to remember conditions
for which immunity has already been established. When a person has been
infected, for example, with chicken pox in childhood, their body develops
a memory of that illness, and prevents the person from becoming re-infected
with it later in life. In the future, the specific immune transfer factor
molecule for chicken pox will endow the immune system with the exact ‘blueprint’
of what chicken pox looks like, and the body will be able to quickly recognize
and respond to any possible re-infection. Many of these transfer factors
- or "immune memory molecules," were introduced to us from our mother’s
milk or colostrum, which is the richest source of concentrated transfer
factors known to scientists. Transfer factors in colostrum have the sole
purpose of transferring immunity from the mother to the baby’s immature
immune system. All mammals produce transfer factor, but scientists prefer
to work with chicken and normal bovine colostrum. A healthy cow already
produces millions of different transfer factors, but when the cow comes
into contact with a pathogen such as a virus, it produces a new transfer
factor for that specific virus or pathogen. For individuals challenged
by specific pathogens – such as those suffering with chronic illnesses
like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, supplementation with the appropriate transfer
factor molecule may provide the ‘missing link,’ thereby allowing the immune
system to target and destroy the offending pathogen, and mitigate the symptoms
of the disease." Rob Robertson, MD More about

that you should know about:
Transfer
factor is the name of the molecules in the immune system that transfer
and establish the immune system in a newborn. These molecules were first
discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence. Transfer
factor has been studied for decades
by scientists from all over the world, and thousands of studies exist.
Dr. Lawrence found that adding transfer factors to an existing immune
system increased the efficiency of that immune system dramatically. This
helped fight bacterial infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus
infections, viral infections like colds and flu, and diseases like cancer,
much more effectively.
Rob Robertson, MD - "There is no other product in a nutritional
substance, nor a drug, that has this kind of power and ability to affect

Marine Phytoplankton has supported virtually all living creatures in the

A further look at healing with nature. Nature
provides us with a simple, straightforward system for regaining and maintaining
superb human health and beauty.
Healing with Food: Most human illnesses and diseases
are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with
the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to
repair itself.
Healing through Fasting: Fasting is the world's
most ancient and natural healing mechanism.
Healing with Water: Hydrotherapy has been used
for centuries to heal the sick
Healing with the Sea: There is no family of foods
more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea
vegetables.
Healing with Sunlight: Sunlight helps the body
heal wounds and injuries and overcome virtually any illness.
Healing with Earth: Clay is renowned to have many
uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans.
Healing with Plants: Plants have the power to supply
the bodies’ life force with the energies it needs to restore and maintain
health.
Healing with Urine: One of the most powerful, most
researched and most medically proven natural cures ever discovered.
Basic Healing Principles:
The body has an
innate capacity to heal itself. Self-healing can only occur once the cause
of
the illness has been eliminated. Why elimination of the symptom is NOT
the same as elimination of the disease? Physicians and surgeons

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
