Garlic - The Miracle Food and Supplement

Garlic is a wonderful food, both as a supplement and in its natural state. It has been used since Biblical times and is referenced historically as a source of endurance and strength. Today, it is better known for its ability to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, thin the blood, protect against clogged arteries, and aid digestion. Garlic is also known to be effective against fungal infections and some viruses, and it acts as a mild antibiotic. There is mounting evidence that garlic offers protection against virtually every disease or infection, including cancer, and if you aren't consuming it daily in one form or another, you should begin at once.

Garlic lowers blood pressure through its ability to dilate blood vessel walls, and thins blood by inhibiting blood platelet clustering. Other benefits are that it is a powerful immune system stimulant and its antibiotic properties are strong enough that it was used to treat wounds and infections in World War I. Garlic oil is good for the heart and colon and helps treat arthritis and candidiasis.

Garlic supplements can be purchased in health food stores. If you find that the odor is too strong for you, try Kyolic, available as odorless garlic tablets, capsules, pills, and oil extracts.
