 You can take garlic supplements, or just eat a lot of whole garlic. One of the things I like to do is take garlic cloves and just bake them. You can eat them baked, put them in pastas or put them on a healthy pizza made with soy cheese and organic crust. Baked garlic cloves are delicious and they're outstanding for your health. They don’t have the bite of raw garlic cloves.
Garlic supplements are also good, and the best company out there is Kyolic. Buy their aged garlic supplements. I do, and I recommend them to my family and friends. |

 Garlic: 1-2 raw cloves of garlic daily or, 1 tablet or capsule containing 300 mg of dried garlic powder (1.3 percent allicin, or 0.6 percent allicin yield) two to three times daily, or 7.2 grams daily of aged garlic extract; garlic also has modest cholesterol-lowering effects
?Grapeseed extract: 100-200 mg daily
?Hawthorn: 1,500 mg daily
?Magnesium: 500-600 mg daily
Note: While antioxidant supplements, like most nutrients, almost never interact with drugs, some herbs with drug-like effects can have risky interactions with prescription medications. |

 GARLIC
Garlic has been shown to improve glucose control in rat models of diabetes; studies in humans, however, have not shown that garlic improves glucose control. Although garlic was initially promoted for its cholesterol-reducing effect, subsequent research has not confirmed it.
ALA
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), which is found in liver, potatoes, and broccoli, has no effect on glucose levels. It is, however, prescribed in Germany for diabetic neuropathy. In a three-week German study, 328 patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic neuropathy received either intravenous ALA or a placebo. |

 GARLIC BREATH
Does your mouth smell like garlic even when you haven't eaten any? If so, it may be a sign of selenium toxicity (aka selenosis). While an important antioxidant, selenium should not be taken in very large doses. In addition to supplements, it's found in nuts (especially Brazil nuts), meat, seafood, and—not surprisingly—garlic. But you'd be hard pressed to eat so much garlic—or any other selenium-containing food—to cause this problem. |

In fact, garlic has many other health benefits beyond cholesterol: the herb also fights cancer and greatly enhances immune system function.

| Studies have shown, however, that daily ingestion of a garlic supplement reduces the number of colds. garlic is also promoted for the prevention of a number of infections. It is thought that the chemical allicin, which is present in garlic, breaks down to sulfur, which has antibiotic properties. However, sulfur-containing antibiotic drugs can be substituted for the daily ingestion of garlic. |

 They might buy some garlic, not knowing that it is one of the many treatments for bird flu, take it home and cook it, thereby destroying the best medicine in the garlic, because it's most medicinally powerful when eaten raw.
Raw garlic tastes terrible, by the way, but so what? You're talking about life and death here. Who cares what it tastes like? I've eaten raw garlic before, and it was not the most enjoyable experience, but it was tolerable. It's better than dying of infectious disease. Would I eat garlic 10 times a day to prevent bird flu infection? You bet I would. |

 I have fresh garlic in huge amounts, as well as garlic extract, just in case anything happens, I have enough for not just myself, but enough for my staff and anyone involved in my life.
Mike: Wonderful. Wonderful advice, and there are products out there, aged garlic as well, and I think Kyolic has a product.
Wolfe: Kyolic has a great product out there.
Mike: So garlic is number one. What is your second?
Wolfe: The second would be echinacea, and echinacea is a flower. It's a traditional kind of Native American herb, very well renowned for its immune system supporting properties. |
| So, that problem was solved thousands of years ago when they realized you can soak garlic by dicing it up and soaking it in lemon juice or vinegar. It deodorizes without disturbing the immune system chemicals that are in garlic. That's something you can do at home. You can also purchase garlic extracts that have been deodorized, and you still get the immune system chemicals, but you're not getting that heavy garlic odor. It's great to have stored up in your home. I have lots of it stored up myself. |

 Can you imagine a world in which it would be illegal to purchase and consume garlic? It sounds ridiculous, right? You say, "Oh, come on, that's just exaggeration!" But is it really? garlic is one of the most medicinally potent foods in the world. This is a product that prevents and treats topical and internal cancers. Raw garlic juice is one of the most potent anti-cancer supplements you can consume. You can go to a grocery store right now, buy garlic, and make this yourself. This is more powerful than many drugs out there. It's a broad-spectrum antibiotic. |

 The antipathogens -- the things that are known to kill viruses in particular -- include garlic, and, interestingly enough, they have reports in Korea of people who basically kept their birds alive, even though avian flu is normally 100 percent fatal for birds, by feeding them kimchi, which is has a lot of garlic.
Mike: Wow.
Barron: Yeah. It's basically a sort of fermented cabbage and high-garlic food. We also know that oil of oregano, olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract can all kill the avian flu virus. |

 Any herbal product that actually works will quickly find itself in the FDA's crosshairs, especially if it is described with honest, accurate language telling consumers the truth about what the product actually does. garlic halts the growth of cancer tumors, but don't you dare say it on your web page, or the FDA will consider you a criminal and seize your garlic supplements.
If you think this is criminal behavior on the part of the FDA, you are right! The FDA is, indeed, run by unindicted criminals who are currently engaged in heinous crimes against humanity. |

GINGER
Ginger {Zingiber officinale), which is obtained from the root of the ginger flower, is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of inflammation and rheumatism. A recent treatment study of patients with osteoarthritis showed better efficacy for ibuprofen than ginger and no difference between ginger and placebo. |

 They had just killed a pig; they loved fried pork, and at first they thought it was the salsa or garlic. They thought she had put too much garlic in the salsa.
Then they saw something that looked like a white fog. She thought it was a fire. She never before remembered being so badly affected by the chemicals, and she had been living here nine years when she found out it was pesticides. Somebody else had called the police already, and the policia were going home to home. When they came to her house, she thought they had come to arrest somebody. |

 Another treatment for vaginitis some women have found effective involves garlic. You can use garlic as a vaginal suppository by peeling off the clove's outer skin (while leaving the last thin layer of the skin intact) and inserting the clove into the vagina for twelve hours. Alternatively, you can place a crushed clove of garlic in vinegar and then, after straining the vinegar to remove the bits of garlic, use this liquid for a douche.
Trichomonas infections are particularly resistant to self-care measures. |

 We would not count on garlic to make a big difference in your blood pressure. On the other hand, cooking with garlic and using it in salad dressing can't hurt.

Ot. I've had high blood pressure since 1985 and have taken many drugs, including Vasotec, Maxzide, and others. All of them have side effects such as dry mouth or hair loss, and none has been effective at getting my lower number below 90.
About 2 years ago, I heard about taking garlic for blood pressure. I take two pills a day. For over a year, my blood pressure has been around 135/80. |

| I've eaten raw garlic before, and it was not the most enjoyable experience, but it was tolerable. It's better than dying of infectious disease. Would I eat garlic 10 times a day to prevent bird flu infection? You bet I would. Would I eat garlic leaves, olive leaf extract, lemon balm, lime leaves, astragalus, spearmint, peppermint, rosemary and reishi mushroom extract 10 times a day to beat bird flu? You bet I would. I wouldn't even give it a second thought. It would be a really fun experience, actually, to have all these different tastes on your tongue. |

Celery enthusiasts insist that if you eat eight ribs a day your blood pressure will come down. We have seen no solid research to support this concept. We happen to enjoy celery, however, and it probably can't hurt to do the experiment. Buy enough celery to last a couple of weeks and measure your blood pressure regularly. |
