Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I haven't used allicin but I have used garlic tincture (garlic and brandy) at times. I use it mostly for tooth infections and it's worked really well for that. I read a small study online that said if you add turmeric to the garlic it will strengthen the power of the garlic to where it is as strong as some antibiotics. I tried that when I had very bad infected tooth. Half my face was swollen. I went to the doctor and he gave me penicillin as an antibiotic but it didn't appear to do anything. I finally tried the garlic tincture and turmeric combo and it worked great. I've used it a couple more times since without any added antibiotics and it's always worked great. Interestingly I've started giving it to my dog who has behaviour problems. After learning about how lyme can cause behaviour problems I thought maybe garlic/turmeric would help him and the difference is incredible. He had a lot of problems and would spend most of his days alone but now he acts like a normal dog. It's like a miracle. Since then my sister has put her dog on it, as she also has anxiety and behaviour problems and she's been helped incredibly too. I've given it to many dogs and haven't seen any stomach upset although one time my sister didn't bother straining the garlic from the tincture and in that case her dog did get an upset stomach. So I'm thinking that by straining out the garlic from the tincture that may help with stomach problems that some people have. I've taken a large tablespoon at a time on an empty stomach and have had a stinging stomach for a few seconds but never any major upsets. But I don't know if it would help everyone. I was also reading online about artemisinin and found an article that said that turmeric strengthened artemisinin as well. It makes me wonder what else it helps strengthen.
