The Power Of Garlic

The late mythologist Joseph Campbell and others stressed the Power of Myth. He maintained that rather than just fanciful fairy tales, mythology held valuable information that "could serve in the role of a personal mentor, in that its stories provide a psychological road map for the finding of oneself in the labyrinth of the complex modern world."
Myth and folklore also hold physical clues. Ancients were kind enough to imbed deep understanding of the physical world into symbology and metaphor as a way to communicate with generations far in the future, because they knew languages will eventually be lost but imagery and metaphor transcend language. Tales will always be told around a campfire; kids will always grow up teaching their kids the stories they learned as little ones. A wolf is a wolf to everybody.
And that's the way it is with garlic. It's always been considered a superfood by enlightened cultures and it's benefit to health was enshrined in superstition to ward off all sorts of unpleasantries like vampires so it's beneficial qualities could help people all the way through their stupid periods. As in the dark ages, or modern day western culture. It's undeniably extremely healthy:
"Beyond superstition, modern research has confirmed what our ancestors believed about the health benefits of garlic. In 1858, Louis Pasteur documented that garlic kills bacteria, with one millimeter or raw garlic juice proving as effective as 60 milligrams of penicillin. During World War II, when penicillin and sulfa drugs were scarce, the British and Russian armies used diluted garlic solutions as an antiseptic to disinfect open wounds and prevent gangrene. Though not completely understood at the time, today’s research has confirmed that garlic’s healing powers stem from hundreds of volatile sulfur compounds found in the vegetable, including allicin, (which gives garlic its offensive odor), alliin, cycroalliin, and diallyldisulphide.
The allicin in raw, crushed garlic has been shown to kill 23 types of bacteria, including salmonella and staphylococcus. Heated garlic gives off another compound, diallyldisulphide-oxide, which has been shown to lower serum cholesterol by preventing clotting in the arteries.
Vitamins in garlic, such as A, B, and C, stimulate the body to fight carcinogens and get rid of toxins, and may even aid in preventing certain types of cancer, such as stomach cancer. Garlic's sulfur compounds can regulate blood sugar metabolism, stimulate and detoxify the liver, and stimulate the blood circulation and the nervous system."
I'll testify to the magic root. I've eaten several cloves of raw garlic virtually every day with a meal for the past fifteen years or so and I'm not lying when I say I haven't had a cold or flu in a decade. Vampires seem scarce although Foxified zombies are everywhere.

i've found a way to knock out gastro distress and odor for those who otherwise believe in the healing properties of garlic and don't wish to be bothered with such symptoms. take those chopped up cloves of garlic, put on a teaspoon of honey and ingest. i was skeptical at first but it worked.
Whoa, that's extremely fortuitous because a spoon of honey is another daily health regimen people should invest in.
Neener I'd like to click keys with you because I just ordered a colloidal silver generator and it's possible you and Mr neener and little neener may benefit from my experience.
Many of the necessary vitamins are found in garlic as a natural antibiotic and food should be consumed in more than gives great flavor
