Guest guest Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 This is true - to get the allicin out of the garlic it must be crushed. Here is an interesting (informative) discussion of how to get the benefits of allicin from garlic:from - http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/025705.htmlA little bit about Allicin. Garlic is associated with this compound Allicin, which has been shown to be the most potent natural antibiotic. (showing an exhibit of MIT)It is extremely effective for Staph aureus, and some of the physicians among you know that there is no antibiotic left that’s effective. Well, there is plenty of research that shows that freeze-dried garlic is absolutely 100% effective for it, and it puzzles me that science ignores that. This is from peer-reviewed journals, not small stuff. Candida – may be important for you – that freeze-dried garlic is an absolute for treating Candida.Let me talk about Allicin. Garlic contains Alliin, which is the chemical precursor to Allicin, and they get converted to Allicin through an enzyme called Alliinase. That happens when you chew garlic; when you break up the cell membrane of the plant cells, the enzyme that is in the cell wall gets released and combines with alliin and then allicin is created within 20 seconds.Allicin has a half life of 10 days. Any of the garlic products that you buy – garlic oil, kyotic garlic, etc. – there is no allicin left in it. So any prior experience you have had with any garlic products, other than fresh garlic, forget that. Erase that out of your mind “tried garlic once and it didn’t work” – put that on the side.The only garlic products that have their full allicin-releasing potential left is fresh garlic and freeze-dried garlic.When you swallow garlic, when you chew it for a few seconds and wait for 20 seconds before the conversion after you chew it, and it hits the stomach acid, the enzyme is immediately neutralized and the conversion doesn’t happen. So if you take raw garlic and eat it, it doesn’t happen either.If you eat it on a full stomach (on a full stomach the Ph comes up from 1.5 to 4.5); you can eat it at the end of a meal and the conversion happens. You chew the garlic, the enzyme is activated, you swallow it, it doesn’t get killed by the stomach acid, and you get the full allicin release from it.Chewing garlic has the disadvantage has that you smell like……….. (laughter)When you eat garlic, you smell. When you take freeze-dried garlic in capsules, there is no body odor. There is a mild body odor that you can detect if you go close to the skin of the person who is taking it.Garlic is also very effective for treatment of amoebas and giardia, most species of worms; in Lyme Disease – Dr. Zhang in New York published papers on the effectiveness that allicin also penetrates the blood-brain barrier and goes to the CSF and can clean up things there.It is really a fantastic agent for our time. The way to take it is 2-3 capsules at the end of each meal – needs to be taken at least three times a day, better four times a day, just like penicillin. Remember, penicillin you have to take every six hours, you have to take it four times a day to make it work, and the same with freeze-dried garlic.It is great for general health.Question: Do you chew up these capsules?Answer: Freeze-dried garlic – you swallow it at the end of a meal when the Ph has come up; then the juices in the gut mix with the garlic, put it in solution, activate the conversion and you get the whole shebang (sp?) of the allicin release.I want you to try to remember that any time that any prior experience, when people talk about garlic “yeh, tried it and worked a little bit” or so, they didn’t do it right, I promise you. If you follow these rules, it becomes the most powerful medicine that we have.It is also for ……… clostridium, there is a study there - some of the modern infections that we have no solutions for in medicine, try garlic.Question: either the fresh or the freeze-dried – you want to take following the meal?Answer: Yes, there is no point – if you cook garlic, you destroy the enzyme. Also if you put it on your salad – most people eat their salad before the meal, forget it – it doesn’t work.Question: You want it to be activated after it hits your stomach?Answer: yes. If you can’t take the capsule, put it in water, stir it, wait 20 seconds until the conversion happens, then drink it. Then it won’t be destroyed by the stomach acid.The best solution for topical problems – use garlic tincture on the skin, by far the best garlic tincture is from Morin Labs. (describes the technical aspects of manufacture). Even though the garlic is broken up in small particles where there are still some cells intact, the moment you put it on the skin, from the drying-effect the cells rupture, the allicin is released and it is a great antimicrobial. So for fungal infections (feet and everywhere) use garlic tincture – major for staph infections on the skin (freeze dried garlic inside – tincture outside).Tincture is also great to use orally. Great for gum disease. Do it at night – slush it around in your mouth, go to bed, don’t swallow it – just sort of leave it there, and it kills all the microorganisms. If you have a partner, if you both do it (there is this habituation to the garlic taste and smell), if your partner also does it, in the morning either one of you can smell each other and will not be offended by it.It is a powerful tool of the past and of the future."It's a must for Lyme, viral infections (fish oil too for virals). From my experience.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 If you swallow the clove whole, it may not 'break down' or digest till it's out of the stomach and in the intestine...perhaps the " conversion " will happen then where the pH less acidic? Just a thought.
