I'm starting to think there is a big pharma conspiracy against Garlic

[PulsingJones]

Everyone I ever know who consumed Garlic when they are sick swears by how ridiculously effective it is, be it viral or bacterial infections.
Not to mention it's anti-platelet properties for stroke/heart attack preventation and strong anti-hypertensive effect... All of this without fucking up your kidneys like most medicine (Aspirin causes kidney failure for example)

I could go on... It's more a natural miracle panacea than I ever thought.

And yet... Those "Garlic Supplements" do nothing compared to the real thing, which I can personally attest to. And all these "Scientific studies" claim "Yeah, maybe garlic is mildly effective but don't use it in place of medicine guys!" I have a hunch are BS studies funded by organizations whose interest is to keep you on drugs your entire life. And these Garlic Supplements are probably BS too.

Just a hunch

I think the garlic supplements and red beet supplements are supposed to affect blood pressure by making more gas and expanding blood vessels.

I used to take Kyolic daily, COQ10, B complex, sometimes dark chocolate and still blood pressure was surprisingly high probably from eating too much salt and oily food. Have been avoiding salt for a while.

Everyone I know who tried Garlic Supplements say its a scam and does nothing, which is a far cry to how they talk about actual unprocessed Garlic.

Try eating a head of Garlic and report back on your Blood Pressure. You don't have to eat it raw, cook it in a stew or soup.

Pharma are the real cartels. Proven killers of millions and get off with a fine LOL

Garlic, exercise, get your heart rate up a little and speed up the filtering process. I eat a couple raw cloves every once in a while but it's because I like the taste. Idk how much health benefit it provides. I found fasting while sick and doubling your water intake works well. Your body knows what to expel 1st.

Plug your butt with a clove of garlic. It will cure what ails you, and protect you from gay vampires

There's a volatile compound in garlic (allicin) that starts degrading as soon as you cut it. It's why pre-chopped garlic doesn't have much taste. Garlic in a supplement form is positively ancient. Not only is it not fresh, but it's literally just some dry powder. That alone probably accounts for the supplements poor performance.

GFkricc damn i mike the garlic. Rnesa

 

[RichardHarrow]

anybody else suffer from severe heartburn when taking garlic supplements ?

 

[Deaths Head]

People usually eat it wrong , you have to cut the garlic bulbs in slices and wait a few minute’s because the chemical compound gets activated. I eat garlic at least 6 months out of the year particularly during May allergy season for me and it works every time almost instantaneously relief . It’s a natural anti biotic and kills viruses and bacteria that’s why the FDA would also ban it if they could .

That's why most people don't have an appetite when they're sick. The body knows

See, I think this is BS... You slice and crush the garlic in your mouth, by the time it reaches your guts to be absorbed it's already been quite a few minutes.

I myself cook the garlic with other dishes and see great benefits, so people should just eat garlic however they want unless its in a powdered/supplement form, in which case don't bother.

doubling your water intake works well. Your body knows what to expel 1st.

This is also great advice when you have a cold/flu, it's not just about toxin expulsion, but more fluids in you means your mucus gets thinner, which makes you less likely to be congested with stuffed nose and phlegm


This is how you should speedrun a cold:

1- Lots of garlic, raw or cooked, either works.
2- Lots of fluid, water, soups... but water works best.
3- Cover yourself in blankets to raise body temperature to kill viruses and sweat it out (unnecessary step if you have fever), also spicy food tends to raise body temp but use with caution if you have sore throat since it might aggravate throat inflammation

Just anecdotal evidence here. I regularly add a clove of fresh garlic to my fruit and leafy green smoothie, which I make almost every day. Yes, it's disgusting.

The reason I started doing this: One day I felt like I was coming down with something bad. I felt like shit. Just on a whim, I decided to throw in a clove of fresh garlic in the Nutribullet along with the other ingredients to make my smoothie. I felt like shit anyway, so who cares? Drank the smoothie, and as expected, it tasted like shit. But, almost immediately, my nose began running like a faucet. There was no stopping it. It flowed like a goddamn waterfall for like 20 minutes. Then boom. The runny nose stopped and I felt 100% completely back to normal. I couldn't believe it.

Ever since then, fresh garlic has been a staple in my fruit and leafy green smoothie. Sounds like bro science, but that's really my experience with it.
