Garlic: The King of Sulfur

Throughout the centuries, garlic has been the most incredible food and medicine. We can reminisce about garlic bread at your favorite Italian restaurant or the delicious garlic added to your favorite tomato sauce. While garlic may not repeal vampires, it can help repeal viruses, bacteria, and fungus. Today we are going to explore the powerful and truly medicinal qualities of this delicious herb. We will figure out how to use garlic without smelling like garlic!

Benefits:

First and foremost, garlic is a heart tonic herb. Garlic can dramatically change your heart and cardiovascular system for the better.

Garlic is like an amazing pipe cleaner in the body. The calcium plaque that builds up in our veins and arteries can be cleaned out by the powerful sulfur compounds found in Garlic.

Garlic’s sulfur content not only cleans out this calcium plaque but it also helps lower bad cholesterol in the blood and raise healthy cholesterol levels.

  • Garlic can help build an incredible immune system. Garlic is like nature's antibiotic and some studies show it works even better than the pharmaceutical antibiotics.

Garlic contains an incredible phytochemical called allicin. This substance is the standard of measure for the potency of garlic's anti-microbial abilities.

  • In some garlic products, they can up the allicin content by aging the garlic. This can radically change how powerful the effect is.

There are some great aged garlic extracts out there and I highly recommend a company called Kyolic.

Garlic is a potent antioxidant and can help prevent common brain diseases like Alzheimer’s.

  • The antioxidant effect of garlic is contributed to a longer life.

Garlic alone can help put an end to a lot of common diseases and inflammation that age our bodies and mind.

Garlic’s sulfur compounds can help detoxify metals from the body.

  • In one study after 4 weeks battery plant workers exposed to led showed a 19% reduction in lead after eating 3 cloves of garlic a day.
  • Garlic combined with chlorella and cilantro can dramatically lower your load of all toxic heavy metals in the body.

Forms:

There are only two forms of garlic that I use and that’s aged garlic extracts and raw garlic.

  • Aged garlic extracts give you the benefits of garlic without the smell of a walking Italian restaurant.
  • Raw garlic we know and love in our favorite pasta sauce or added to just about anything. Get ready for the smell though those sulfur molecules are strong and will permeate anything!

Conclusion:

Garlic is straight forward it can work miracles in the body and it taste delicious as well. I hope that you experiment and use garlic daily. Stay tuned for next week where we will be exploring probiotics and how to weed, seed, and feed them to flourish in the body.
