Garlic: a broad-spectrum antiviral...
Garlic has been used for thousand years. An Egyptian medical papyrus dating from around 1500 BC discusses the use of garlic in 22 prescriptions. Garlic was used in World War 1 to fight typhus and dysentery.

In World War 2, British physicians treating battle wounds with garlic reported its benefits in warding off septic poisoning and gangrene. In 1944, a Chester I. Cavallito, identified garlic's strong odor as the compound, Allicin, as an antibiotic.

Tests found raw garlic more powerful than penicillin and tetracycline. Literally hundreds of studies confirm garlic as a broad-spectrum antibiuotic against lon list of microbes that spread disease, including btulism, tuberculosis, diarrhea, staphylococcus, dysentery and typhoid.

Garlic is antibacterial, antifugal, an-tiparasitic, antiprotozoan, and antiviral.

The National Library of Medicine, in Bethesda, Maryland, a prestigious repository of medical literature, contains about 125 papers on garlic revealing the potent compound that appear to retard heart disease, stroke, cancer, and a wide range of infections.

Garlic can help your brain function. Dr Garagus had noticed an article in the Chinese Medical Journal. Chinese doctors referred to the ancient practice of administering garlic. They fed and injected garlic into patients with a serious infection called cryptococcal meningitis. Of the sixteen who got the garlic, eleven survived.

For a cure rate of sixty per cent, this was not bad, considering that this infection gets in the spinal cord and into the brain. Even some powerful antibiotics can't cross the blood-brain, barrier to attack the bacteria. The meant garlic, or at least some chemical of garlic probably did travel from the blood stream or spinal fluid and into the brain, where it destroyed the bacteria, and caused no side effect unlike prescription antibiotics.

Dr. Garagus looked up the medical literature and found that garlic was extensively used to treat tuberculosis.

In fact days before man-made antibiotics, garlic was the drug of choice against TB. At the turn of the century the head of the larger tuberculosis ward in Dublin reported remarkable cure rates from eating, inhaling, and smearing garlic on the chest as an oitment. Around the same time in New York, a physician compared the effectiveness of fifty five tuberculosis treatments and found garlic the best.

The anciet Egyptians worshipped garlic. Poling the Elder, a Roman admnistrator and naturalist living in the first century AD recommended garlic for no fewer than sixty one ailments, and better company could one want. Even Louis Pasteur in 1858 put a dollop of garlic in a petri dish and recorded that the bacteria died.

Researchers at George Washington University had confirmed a chemical in garlic that thinned blood. Tuberculosis is on the upswing in the United States. Major carriers of this mycobacterium are those infected with HIV. Some AIDS victims are infected by a fungal bug called M. Avlum, previously seen only in birds.

Funagl infection in the United States have doubled or trippled in the past five years. Drs. Garagusi and Delaha were seing more blood samples infected with by these straines of fungus bacteria. To see if garlic is as effective against fungi as the Chinese medical report said, Dr Delaha peeled and ground ten bulbs of garlic in blender.

He extracted the active ingredient, allicin, from the garlic pulp, and the result was a frozen extract of garlic. He put thirty strains of seventeen species of mycobacterium in sterile petri dishes and then introduced the garlic compound in various concetration. Then he watched the bacteria grwo in the non-garlic dishes.

The one with garlic in the dishes withered and died. Garlic killed or did damage to all fungal bacteria. Garlic not only did damage to fungal infection, but also to those that caused tuberculosis. In fact, it was extra potent against the TB bacteria.

Bettern than the standard antibiotics, garlic rips apart the mycobacterium cell walls or interfers with their enzymes so they starve to death. Dr Garagus said he wished he knew, how and why garlic works.
