We'd have people come back from lunch that looked clinically dead on an encephalograph, which we used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" "Well, I went to an Italian restaurant and there was some garlic in my salad dressing!" So we had them sign things that they wouldn't touch garlic before classes or we were wasting their time, their money and my time.

Lol, yeah right. If this were true the whole of southern europe would be unable to function. France and Italy would be void of life with the amounts of garlic they consume.. There is the potential for a garlic allergy.. But other than that Garlic actually has many many health benefits.
I've seen people nibble away multiple bulbs of garlic in one session. They certainly lived... Garlic has anti bacterial properties and it actively reduces your cholesterol. A garlic rich diet adds years to your life, it does not take it away.
Just dont intravenously inject it.... It is true that if you inject garlic directly into the blood you will probably have very bad side effects.. I would not inject most foods directly into the bloodstream.
I'm a big garlic eater myself. And I've definately eaten more than "some garlic in my salad dressing" I wasn't clinically dead afterwards. Trust me I would have noticed...
Also the whole idea that if an ECG shows someone as clinically dead... They ARE clinically dead.... That or the device is broken. If you can talk to someone then a proper ECG cannot show him as clinically dead. It's as simple as that. And anyone who thinks otherwise is kindly encouraged to study the matter and educate themselves.
Seriously, don't take this mess seriously. The urban myth has been around since forever. WW1 soldiers put garlic on bullets to be sure to kill opponents with only flesh wounds. Fact is that this was superstition it did not have those actual effects.
Now if you want some food advice. Take green olives, fill them with fresh garlic. and leave them to soak in olive oil for a few days. Then eat with a big cold Coca cola and maybe some goat cheese like a good Fetah.
Enjoy.
