My favorite book became dog-earred enough for me to have to buy another copy because I refer to it so often. It has the unlikely title "Garlic, the Science and Therapeutic Application of Allium Sativum L and related species" by Larry Lawson, Ph. D. and Heinrich Koch, Ph. D. I have met and had many discussions with Larry Lawson.
I almost never read novels as I prefer truth to made up stuff and this non-fiction book I bought in 1999 has affected my life more than any other single book I have ever read and it has allowed me to understand enough of the chemistry of garlic to understand how it works within human physiology. We are electro-chemical beings and this book has helped me understand how the various breakdown metabolites of allicin, both fat-soluble and water-soluble, circulate around and interact with the human body and kill the microbial things and other kinds of things that can afflict us.
This allows me to devise novel ways of applying this information and coming up with unconventional herbal treatments that really work. For example, when you crush natural, non-irradiated garlic, let it set a while and mix it with water, that water becomes highly antimicrobial and kills all bacteria it comes into contact with, including MRSA, which cannot become resistant to it because it kills in a different way than antibiotics, which depend on specific chemical bonds to work.
There are other medical conditions that can be successfully treated with garlic used in different ways. We are just now scratching the surface of what garlic can do when used in different ways. There's a lot more to it than eating it. Wanna learn more> Google the Garlicmeister.
You had to ask, didn't you? :laugh2:
