Apparently, eating raw garlic cloves on an empty stomach releases a rather powerful chemical called Allicin? which i've heard is supposed to be quite a potent natural antibiotic. I haven't been sick in i can't remember how long, but... Yeah, if you need an antibiotic try it. And uhhhh, get a glass of water near you, things might get just a LITTTTTTTLE bit spicy.
 
If you want to get between other people sometimes, I would recommend to buy some supplement pills with garlic instead of chewing it every day in your mouth :)))
 
garlic is a natural 'anti-biotic', but of course comes with a 'worldly price'...'garlic-breath'...
many don't have the courage to use it for it's awesome beneficial healing properties,..
they say that it can be bought without the 'smell'!!! are you game?
 
I've tried this! It tastes awful but it really works. Mixing the garlic in maple syrup or honey helps a little with the taste.
 
I eat pieces of garlic all the time! It's delicious!
Kidding, that's disgusting lol but cool nonetheless
 
I've also successfully used it for toothaches. I use garlic salt on almost everything I eat (I'm required to have higher than normal salt intake) and can attest to the fact that I have noticeably fewer colds now that I do that. I used to get 2 colds a year and now I get one every couple of years.
 
I like pickled garlic. I keep a jar of pickled garlic cloves in the fridge.
 
Garlic is awesome to use! Each time a family gets sick, garlic down the hatch. I've also used sliced garlic on the feet to help treat my brothers whooping cough. NEVER put raw sliced garlic on bare skin, it can burn and cause blisters. Put a barrier in between the garlic and skin, I use Vaseline or olive/coconut oil.

Confirmed. A great prevention of the flu and helps treat period pain. God provided so much in nature.
 
Warning: While it is true, to some people raw garlic truly gives digestive issues. Often it's associated with the Eastern European stomach, but I have no Eastern European in me, and I get sick for three days anyway. We still like garlic. We just have to make sure it's sauteed before eating it.

BTW, we haven't had colds or flues for decades either, but we attribute that to washing our hands often, and hand sanitizer whenever we walk out of a public place.
 

It's best to eat garlic raw because cooking can reduce or destroy the benefits of garlic. If you're going to cook it, here's an article below that may be of benefit on how to cook garlic.


If you're going to eat it raw, eat it in salsa everyday or add it to homemade salad dressings. Or pesto, hummus or any type of beans dip. Also if you eat bean burritos often, you could blend the beans making them like refried beans (without oil) and add some raw garlic in there.


I'm thinking also that you could chop up garlic ahead of time and have it ready to use to sprinkle on anything your going to eat whether it's a salad, pasta dish, casserole, a baked potato......whatever.


Also, there's a chemical compound produced when you chop 10 minutes ahead of eating it.


Here's an interesting article I found - how to cook garlic to keep the chemical compounds that are released from chopping as beneficial as eating it raw.


Organosulfur Compounds


Garlic is high in organosulfur compounds, which are believed to be responsible for its aroma, flavor and health benefits. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, organosulfur compounds in garlic act as anti-clotting agents by inhibiting platelet aggregation and may help prevent cardiovascular disease. Researchers also believe these organosulfur compounds may be protective against cancer.


Raw Vs. Cooked: Anticarcinogenic Activity
Heating garlic has been shown to reduce its anticancer properties. Sixty seconds of microwave heating and 45 minutes of oven heating both blocked the anticarcinogenic activity of garlic, according to a study published in 2001 in "The Journal of Nutrition." However, crushing garlic and allowing it to stand for 10 minutes before microwave heating for 60 seconds was found to preserve some of garlic's anticarcinogenic activity.


Raw Vs. Cooked: Anticlotting Effect
Oven baking -- at 200 degrees Celsius -- or boiling for up to 3 minutes did not affect garlic's ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, according to a study published in 2007 in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry." Heating for 6 minutes suppressed all anticlotting activity in whole garlic, while crushed garlic showed reduced, but still significant, anti-clotting activity. Heating garlic for more than 10 minutes and microwaving garlic result in no anticlotting effects.


How Cooking Affects Garlic
Crushing garlic releases an enzyme, called alliinase, that causes the formation of allicin. Allicin then breaks down to form the beneficial organosulfur compounds. However, the heat from cooking can inactivate alliinase. Researchers have found that crushing garlic and letting it stand for 10 minutes before cooking allows time for alliinase to work before heat inactivates it. So, the next time you’re making something with garlic, crush it first and add it to the dish toward the end of the cooking time.

One of the best preventions I've found for the sniffles and the flu is oregano oil. One that has the highest declared percentage of carvacrol in it. The flu shot didn't work for me, but this did. I work in a field where there's germs everywhere and I've never been sick due to my daily intake which is one the strongest natural herbal germ fighter.
 
I prefer my garlic slightly cooked or dried and powdered.

Btw - love the username (lettucepray), lol.
 
wow I'm impressed somebody does this besides me! Earlier this year I discovered it when I had a stomach virus. I read online to take up to eight cloves. I spread it out every twenty minutes in pieces and it stops viruses, bugs from spreading, and I never threw up, my stomach felt better, and I was healed.
 
Question: I had a friend staying here that eats a great deal of garlic...I understand the potential, but I couldn't sleep upstairs the garlic odor was so strong. She had a room down the hall. Anything that can be done for that? Perchance you've had some identity with it

some people leave garlic out in dishes to pull bacteria out of the air If this not the case and they just eat a bunch and it still stinks i van suggest putting baking soda boxes around to absorb some of the smell.
