But the most potent detoxifier is ...

Hint: Think Mediterranean!

There is a wonderful little herb that everyone knows quite well, especially lovers of Italian food.

It's garlic and it owns the undisputed title of being the world's most powerful detox foods.

Garlic is now used mainly for cooking, but in former times it was actually worn in the clothing to ward off colds and flu.

It is an antioxidant and an antibacterial.

Researchers have found that it helps to lower cholesterol and boost the immune function.

It cleanses the blood, in both people and animals.

Dog lovers will be glad to know that a little bulb of garlic can drive worms out of their dog's intestinal tract !

Take a small bulb of raw garlic, wrap it in cheese or another dog treat and feed it to your dog.

Worms and parasites hate the smell and will vacate the dog's body via their feces. It also helps digestion so it wouldn't hurt to put a little in your dog's food every now and then.

So next time you eat in an Italian restaurant, don't fear having "garlic breath." You have just eaten one of the world's strongest detox foods and you are actually cleansing your mouth, teeth and gums while giving your digestion some needed assistance. And don't forget the doggie bag.

When the power of love

overcomes the love of power

the world will know peace.
