How it works: Scientifically proven germ-killing qualities. Studies of garlic reveal potent compounds that appear to retard heart disease, stroke, cancer, and a wide range of respiratory infections. A chemical contained in the bulb, allicin, is said to be even stronger than penicillin and tetracycline. Allicin's claim to fame is that it is a broad-spectrum bug killer and specfically as an agent the cleans up respiratory infections, is well founded. Perhaps the most universally accepted panacea known to man, garlic should be eaten on a regular basis. It should be taken at the first sign of a cold and used continuously for a month! For those that are vulnerable to secondary infections, the elderly, the infirmed, and asthmatics, garlic is an ideal tonic to avoid secondary infections following on from a cough or a cold. It is a gentle cardio-tonic with a wide application & undermines many of the problems that lead to or perpetuate, heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and plaque formation included.
