Corny Garlic Well, hesitate to request such minor information but I just don't know this answer. See if you can help, please. I've been told of the anti-biotic-like properties of raw garlic but, if I buy the minced garlic rather than cut up my own from scratch, should I expect it to be less potent because of the heat used in the canning process?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Obie I wouldn't give commerical minced garlic the time of day. I consider it virtually worthless medicinally and no better for culinary purposes. And Yes, garlic is a great antibiotic, at least in my system. I use it to combat occasional gum abscess and it always knocks my infections right back. Within a half day the infection has reversed direction, changed from a burgeoning inflammation making my face sore and threatening to spread into my brain, to a receding swelling devoid of its heat and throbbing pain and virtually gone within 24 hours. I can feel the garlic in my system immediately upon taking it. Often one administration is enough, though on that basis the abcess will sometimes recede and then come back. Several days of several doses a day is what is advised to truly eliminate an infection. For me a dose is 2 or 3 cloves peeled and either finely diced or mashed. If you're going to do much of this, a garlic press makes it a lot quicker and easier. Not pleasant to take -- I wash it down with water. And unless I already have something in my stomach, the garlic sometimes has a way of " wanting " to come back up. But wonderfully effective. I'd be lost without it. I can't afford to give some doctor $50 for an office visit to prescribe an antibiotic every time I turn around. Not that I want to subject myself to those antibiotics anyway. I find garlic more effective finely diced or crushed than whole or halved. Some people do take garlic cloves whole or halved, like pills, and some chew the cloves before swallowing. I can't imagine doing that myself. Garlic is MEAN. And Obie, I think it's more than the cooking that deactivates commercial minced garlic. I read somewhere (don't remember where, but it seemed authoritative) that merely PEELING a garlic clove devoided it of most of its medicinal property within 15 minutes. I also read that one could crush a clove of garlic with a bare foot and in a matter of seconds have garlic on the breath. On occasion I have " played " with my gum abscesses, toying with them using minimal garlic dosage to repeatedly suppress but not eliminate them, allowing them to recover and knocking them back, repeatedly. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that garlic is an effective antibiotic for me, and it ain't placebo effect. Green PS -- Do pathogens develop immunity to garlic like they do to penicillin etc? Can garlic be harmful in the same way penicillin, ampicillin etc. can be, destroying biota needed for healthy functioning, like the beneficial intestinal biota?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 << And Yes, garlic is a great antibiotic, at least in my system. >> I have to second that. I used garlic a lot. Used to take 6 to 10 cloves, put them through a garlic press, mixed that with a bit of olive oil and downed it. The trick is to avoid the tastebuds. Put it as far back into your mouth as you can and just swallow. And as Green mentioned...don't do that on an empty stomach.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hey, Green, I've always enjoyed reading your posts but this one was great. Last year I lost two teeth to an abscess on seperate ocassions. The closest I've been able to come is injecting with H2O2 which ultimately did not work. Thank you for these details, I'll use them and let you know how they work with me.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 in the early 70's as yogi's we would sit in a big cirlce on the floor(sat pungat) and a large basket of bulbs of garlic would be passed around to begin a meal, the first time i'd took a clove or two, ...i'd take a bite of garlic then a bite of salad, ..in a short time, i would be " high " (slightly dizzy, 'buzzed' etc.), it surprised me, and the next lunch it took 3 or 4 cloves to get the same 'effect' and within a few days i could eat a bulb or two at lunch and not get much of that effect anymore, as yoga teachers our students often knew we were on our way to class ...by the smell, funny. but i wanted to share some Other information about garlic who knows, maybe the topic of garlic isn't just one sided (all good) as it appears to be i received some info years back from a Researcher/Scientist about the 'down' side of garlic use it may be a little extreme but i appreciate a variety of perpectives thought it might be worth hearing something ''else'' here it is ..see what you think: I NEVER consume any GARLIC! Why you ask? I bet you thought it was good for you, right? Well, guess again. Stanford University conducted a research project on the effects of garlic on the human system. The study was privately funded by Dr. Beck. The results (yet to be published) were conclusive: GARLIC IS A SPECIFIC POISON FOR HIGHER LIFE FORMS. It totally de-synchronizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain, rendering you brain dead. It decreases your reaction time 2 to 3 times. You can rub a clove of garlic on your ankle and smell it shortly afterward on your wrist. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier. This is why most pilots are warned never to eat garlic or Italian food before flying. Garlic is strictly forbidden in ashrams and monasteries in India, Tibet and Nepal. I have been told by herbalists that if garlic is so bad for you, why did the American Indians use it? THEY USED IT AS A MEDICINE, NOT A FOOD! Yes, it may be taken under certain specific circumstances for specific conditions, but to consume it daily as a supplement or food is reckless stupidity. If you are taking garlic now, get off it for a few weeks and see how much better you feel and how much clearer you can think. I know many herbalists and nutritionists won't agree with this, but I put them in the same category as the mothers at the turn-of-the-century who bought morphine sulfate to give to their babies to put them to sleep. After the on Act, that was outlawed. Someday garlic will be outlawed too. Even the Church of Scientology forbids garlic, garlic salt, or any salad dressing or other food products containing garlic aboard their ships, the and the Apollo because they know how stupid it makes the people. This includes all garlic supplements including Kyolic, and the de-skunked varieties. Be sure to check the labels of foods in the supermarket, as most contain garlic. Garlic is poison, eat it at YOUR OWN RISK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 http://www.excellentthings.com Re: Garlic snip I NEVER consume any GARLIC! Why you ask? snip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last year I went on a major candida killing campaign and one of the things I did was eat freshly pressed garlic a few times a day. I noticed a major down turn in my brain. I felt really strange in my brain. Really disconnected and like I could barely speak. I stopped the garlic and it passed immediately. I tried it again a few days later and the same thing happened. I do cook with garlic, but I might include only one bulb in a dish for four people. Then I don't seem to notice it. Also, it is cooked, so it would be less potent. But I would have to agree with this article. Raw Garlic is not for me.

Dorothy, I know I freak people out every time I write how I love and use asafoetida oil. Love the ground root, too. Exotic, deep, layered onion/garlic scent and flavor, incredibly, dizzingly umami on the tongue.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You will be surprised that garlic oil is useful in the perfumery business... Some italian restaurant owners actually request for pizza scent and scampi scent to " entice " the consumers to visit their restaurant. One needs the garlic come up with a pizza fragrance. It is also useful for pizza looking plastic toy products. -->josephine Kingsbury Fragrances <kingsburypa@...> wrote: Dorothy McCall, Cert. Aroma.
