If you had read my post, Bill, instead of exhibiting

the typical knee-jerk reaction, you would understand

that:

1) I did NOT make these comments as absolutes - I have

no personal, first-hand knowledge or evidence of this

informtaion, I am simply relaying information from what

I consider to be a credible source (Dr Beck).

2) That Garlics DEADLY POISONOUS effects are NOT

experienced upon the mere EATING of it. Like

rattlesnake venom, it can be eaten without experiencing

its deadly effects, and in fact you can experience SOME

benefits (anti-bacterial/viral, etc). Its only negative

effects FROM EATING it are, according to Dr Beck,

merely the complete de-synchronization of the brain

waves, resulting in varying degrees of mental confusion

and lethargy.

3) That Garlics deadly effects are ONLY experienced

upon DIRECT INFUSION INTO THE BLOOD STREAM. Supposedly,

again according to Dr Beck, some natives dip their

arrows/needles in it, and supposedly the CIA uses it.

I know, there are many things that are toxic when

introduced directly into the blood stream that are not

when eaten, and most medicinal herbs are like this.

Most you would NOT want to take on a continuing basis,

but just use them temoorarily for their medicinal

qualities. Garlic may be one of these that should NOT

be eaten/taken on a regular basis.

At the least, this deserves further consideration. I am

trying to get ahold of the study that Dr Beck funded

himself. Uunderstand, he paid for this himself, so

although he did suspect that it was harmful because of

some other experiments he had been doing with

bio-feedback equipment, he had no vested interest in it

either way.

Garlic may still be useful as a medicinal herb, but if

this information is true, it may indeed be CAUSING many

of our problems from CONTINUED, DAILY INGESTION as

opposed to using it properly.

I think that Dr. Beck is way off course. ANything you eat is immediately

assimilated into your blood stream. This happens in your mouth under your

tongue where the blood vessels are the closet to the surface. SO I wouldn't

take Dr. Becks study with any credibility. Everything gets into your

bloodstream, how do you think you live?

But it can react completely different than when

injected directly into the bloodstream. This is common

knowledge with anyone who has done the least bit of

research into intravenous use of substances. It is also

unequivocal that one can drink an amount of rattlesnake

venom with no ill effects that would kill you or make

you extremely ill if injected directly into the

bloodstream.

Believe what you want...people usually do. It is

amazing to me how resistant people can be to new

information when it challenges some belief they have

already integrated into their belief system.

Personally, I am constantly looking to upgrade the

information in my brain data bank. There is nothing I

hate more than bad or incorrect information.

This is very interesting and even makes sense. I wonder how many people

who use garlic end up with mental disorders such as senility or

psychosis? There sure seems to be a lot of brain disorders these days.

A couple of things I have read about garlic--that longevity is higher

for people who eat onions and garlic (makes me think it couldn't be TOO

poisonous)

but that such things can be a bit tough on kidney tubules (think I got

this from Ann Wigmore back when). I would think one might look into the

effects on the brain. Viktoras Kulvinskas lowers his fat consumption

when he has to give a presentation, so there are things that affect the

wits. I could try the garlic with my around town driving (most of the

time my driving responses are pretty fast), but I am loathe to worsen my

driving skills by experimenting!

With all due respect, garlic is one of the herbs I used in my

regimen to cure myself of cancer. I used it liberally (up to 6

cloves a day) and I'm still here, alive, well, and cancer free.

My herbalist told me not to exceed more than ten cloves a day for

three or so days running because it does have some blood-thinning

properties.

Garlic is also a potent anti-parasite agent, a natural

antibiotic, and a must for anyone suffering from yeast or fungus.

I have also used it directly on open wounds to minimize the

chance of infection. In addition, it's great on the occasional

cold sore (which I **always** get when going through a

cleansing/detox)to reduce the number of days bothered by the

sores.

Sounds like an allopathic rumor to me!

Probably not many. If that was the case, heavy garlic-using

societies would be long-since dead.

Garlic is not poisonous, either through ingestion or direct

injection into the bloodstream. Either that or I'm dead without

my knowledge.

Regarding this garlic thing. In respect for what Dr. Beck is idea...this

isn't the first time I've heard this theory. This idea goes back 1000's of

years with a certain teaching of yoga..I will have to get back with you on

the exact name of this type of yoga. There is an amazing resturaunt in San

Francisco called 10,000 Buddahs, and they use no garilc, onions, or mushrooms

for the same reason...that it interfers with the ability to achieve complety

mental clarity. I used to think that maybe I was alergic to onions and

garlic due to how " out of it " I feel after eating it. But after leanring of

this I now know what is occuring. And keep an open mind with this..this is

not just pulled out of no where..it is a very old theory.

And supposedly Dr Beck 'proved' this theory with his

study, which I believe was done at Stanford. He first

recorded the fact that people who ate Garlic looked

'dead' on an EEG during some experiments with his

bio-feedback equipment. This is what caused him to fund

the study which proved that these are poisons, and when

eaten attack the higher brain function of man.

There was also a flight surgeon named Doctor

Halloran(sp?) who admonished pilots under his care not

to eat garlic at least 3 DAYS before flying their

planes. Dr Beck didn't elaborate on who he was, but it

sounded like he was fairly well known among those of

the craft.

Some people have negative reactions to some materials. That's

just the nature of humans. But to call a known and proven healing

herb poisonous is, well, silly. Like I said, I have no negative

reactions to garlic at all. And I've used it inside and out for

quite some time ... it was one of the major factors in my quest

for healing myself of cancer. Rather than feeling foggy or

whatever after taking it (I've even used the juice in wheatgrass

implants), I feel GOOD, like I've done something excellent for

myself.

Garlic is not a poison. If you don't feel good after using/eating

it, then just stop.

After a regular enema or colonic, a small amount of fluid, which

could consist of coffee, herbal teas/extracts, wheatgrass,

garlic, varying types of salts, etc., etc., is then injected (so

to speak ... still using an enema bag or a small rubber

syringe)into the bowel to be retained as long as possible.

Sometimes the colon will absorb the fluid, sometimes you just

gotta *go* after a while.

I think the point here is that you are putting forward - for whatever

purpose - a controversial and unproven theory which goes against

conventional wisdom and the lifestyles of generations of Mediterranean

people who liberally use garlic daily to good effect.

There is enough anecdotal evidence to support the therapeutic use of garlic

to sink a battleship - so I'm not sure from where your support of this

alternative theorem emanates.

I'd say plenty of substances are unhelpful if one injects them

intravenously but people are given to that, are they?

You make the statement 'Believe what you want..' in an almost arrogant way,

the motives for which I don't understand. Surely you are doing the exact

same thing? We are all trying to upgrade our brain data banks, but we all

discriminate when doing so. Why put the frighteners on users of garlic?? I

was almost shocked to read your posts on Dr. Beck's research. But I told

myself I needn't be bothered, because, for me, this work just seems to aim

to be controversial for the sake of notoriety and self-publicity (which it

has achieved in this group).

In the final analysis, all the Dr. Becks - or Dr. Anyones - in this world

can't tell an individual how to cure him/herself. This comes from inside an

individual - it is a journey of self-analysis and self-discovery. Garlic

wouldn't feature in the recovery plans of a lot of folk, but for some -

myself included - it plays a major part in my holistic health plan.

Kind Regards,

The reference to 10,000 Buddahs (a restaurant in San Francisco that

sadly closed recently) reminded me that in the Vedic tradition of

India, garlic and onions are avoided. The tradidion is an ancient and

sophisticated approach to well-being. I don't know much about it (I

only read about it in a vegetarian Indian cookbook: garlic, onions and

mushrooms are avoided and ginger is used extensively for flavoring).

I'm not offering this as " proof " that garlic is bad. I personally love

garlic. I think there's lots of approaches to feeling good and being

healthy....

Actually, ALL medicinal herbs are toxic, to a certain

extent. It is the nature of medicinal herbs. Also,

should be pretty easy for an MD to prove or disprove

whether or not garlic is poisonous. I am still looking

for Dr Becks study, but it isn't exactly a high

priority for me.

> Like I said, I have no negative reactions to garlic at all.

> And I've used it inside and out for quite some time ...

And like I said, the only negative reactions from

EATING it is desynchronized brain waves.

According to Dr Beck, the only way to verify this in

someone who eats a lot of garlic is to STOP eating for

a month or so, and then eat a little, and just notice

the difference in your mental clarity.

> it was one of the

> major factors in my quest for healing myself of cancer.

And I never said it didn't have any good qualities. In

fact, I said it may indeed be a valuable medicinal

herb. I was only calling into question the wisdom of

using a medicinal herb in large quantities as a FOOD.

> Rather than feeling foggy or whatever after taking it (I've

Maybe so, but until you open your mind and TRY Dr Becks

recommendation of going without for a period of time,

all you will have to go by is your 'feeling', as

opposed to an objective, purposeful comparison of the

quality and clarity fo your thought processes.

> Garlic is not a poison. If you don't feel good after

> using/eating it, then just stop.

I am not trying to 'convince' anyone of anything, I am

just passing on what I consider to be reliable

information. If you wish to ignore it, then by all

means, please do.

10,000 Buddahs closed.....Oh no!!! That is just the worst news. I used to

drive all the way from LA to SF just to eat there. So sad.......Will there

ever be a resturaunt like it again? Oh and the name of the Yogi's who don't

eat garlic due to thinking it interupts mental clarity is called Sivananda.

Their phone # is 310-822-9642. Ask them the details on the garilc thing. And

I believe there must be something to it due to the way it triggers migraines

for me.

[Guest guest]

Marcus, I think there is a differnece in the reaction to garlic

depending on how it is taken. If one chewed the garlic cloves vs.

swallowing. For me it is when I chew it I notice the mental slowing down and

migraines. However, if I swallow it I do not have these reactions. There is

something to it. What do you think Dr. Beck would bennifit from doing a

study like this exactly? I do not disagree it's medicinal properties, but

just like anything, it may also have negative effects. Just like oxygen or

ozone is good for us, but too much can do harm. We could say that about just

anything, with the exception of water.

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the news. I had read in a book recently that Garlic should be

Aged or cooked since it has a substance that can be very caustic and cause

burns in the throat and mouth if eaten regularly or in large amounts..

Tests were done in laboratories where they exposed cells the the substance

found in fresh garlic and it actually kills healthy cells. I'll try to get

the source of this.

I can't imagine that a half a clove a day would cause much harm.. Perhaps

more benefit..

I'll Try to get the source of this over the weekend.

Perhaps it depends upon the vitality of the body as to the effect on the

brain.

I have quite a high vitality and have not noticed any brain effects as

yet, but I'll try tuning into it a bit more. I use the garlic as a germ

killer. I just looked on a Yogananda site and there is this information

about sattvic diet that I will post below. Garlic is considered

" tamasic " . I read recently on a site that leeches put on arms with

garlic rubbed on them died. There is a garlic study center at one of

the universities--it would be interesting to contact them. J.

Sattvic Food

This is the purest diet, the most suitable one for any serious student

of yoga. It nourishes the body and maintains it in a peaceful

state. And it calms and purifies the mind, enabling it to function at

its maximum potential. A sattvic diet thus leads to true health:

a peaceful mind in control of a fit body, with a balanced flow of energy

between them. Sattvic foods include cereals, wholemeal

bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, pure fruit juices, milk, butter and

cheese, legumes, nuts, seeds, sprouted seeds, honey, and

herb teas.

Rajasic Food

Foods that are very hot, bitter, sour, dry, or salty are rajasic. They

destroy the mind-body equilibrium, feeding the body at the

expense of the mind. Too much rajasic food will overstimulate the body

and excite the passions, making the mind restless and

uncontrollable. Rajasic foods include hot substances, such as sharp

spices or strong herbs, stimulants, like coffee and tea, fish,

eggs, salt and chocolate. Eating in a hurry is also considered rajasic.

Tamasic Food

A tamasic diet benefits neither the mind nor the body. Prana, or energy,

is withdrawn, powers of reasoning become clouded

and a sense of inertia sets in. The body's resistance to disease is

destroyed and the mind filled with dark emotions, such as

anger and greed. Tamasic items include meat, alcohol, tobacco, onions,

garlic, fermented foods, such as vinegar, and stale or

overripe substances. Overeating is also regarded as tamasic.

[Guest guest]

Yes, but can you just swallow it? Margaret indicates that inserting it vaginally can be helpful. I'd like to try the garlic thing, but chewing 5 cloves of garlic a day turns my stomach. I cook a LOT with it. I'll swallow it, but chew?

Let me know

garlic

Dear C B,With regards to the garlic cleanse, this sounds like a great idea. I personally take a lot of garlic daily in my food. It is also a natural antibiotic. Presently, I am having lunch and I made steamed asparagus, with a lemon, fresh garlic, sea salt, pepper and olive oil dressing. I cut up slices of garlic and put it into salad everyday or into chick peas or beans. It is not only a great taste but it ever so healthy for you. AS for the smell.. YES.. they do leave you with yucky smells. Certs would not be a good idea as they are either sweetened with sugar or artificial sweetners. I personally chew Clorets (not a good choice either) but there is no real effect for me with a bit of sugar at this point. As far as I am concerned, I started eating garlic a while back and I feel better than I have in ages. If someone hates my smell that is too bad! (Generally I smell like vanilla from Secret!!) BUT the garlic does expell its scent through not only your mouth but through your pours and you can sweat that pungent odor. THe best thing would be to eat parsley....it too is healthy for you. It is worth it though... It is great for you. Also.. Oil of oregano is a good thing to take into ones diet. All the best guys... and you cant go wrong with this great tip!:)chestnut

I'm certainly not suggesting that you not investigate the possibility of

having a garlic allergy (who knows, it could turn out to be something

serious), but I just wanted to mention that I get the very same reaction

when my symptoms flare up and I eat a large portion of food that contains

ingredients that contain or promote the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus

and Lactobacillus bifidus (e.g. lactose containing foods such as yoghurt

which may also contain live L. acidophilus cultures as well). I am

absolutely certain that I'm not lactose intolerant since, as I said, the

only time that I have a problem is when my symptoms are fairly bad.

Consequently, I'm inclined to think that it's a die off reaction as the

" friendly " bacterial populations increase either directly 'cause I've

consumed a large quantity of them in some way, or indirectly 'cause I've

ingested a lot of lactose for them to feed on. After the severe cramping

finally disappears, I usually feel better than ever as most of my other

symptoms disappear along with it. So basically what I'm saying, although

this is only a guess, it might be that since the garlic is disrupting your

intestinal fauna by killing Candida (which in turn gives " friendly " bacteria

a chance to take over) that the symptoms you experience are somehow related

to this bacterial " changeover " .

Take care,

Su

Dr Shulze:

To begin with, it is nature's best antibiotic. It destroys bacteria. Many

substances in nature destroy bacteria, but few kill all bacteria. Garlic is

classified as a broad-spectrum antibiotic. In other words, it kills both

gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

In fact, garlic is so powerful it can be diluted 1 part in 125,000 and still

be effective against bacteria. Also, just the odor alone has been found to

be anti-bacterial, so if you eat it and breathe on your friends, you might

lose them, but you will, also, disinfect them.

Garlic's widespread use in Russia as an antibiotic has given it the

respected name of Russian Penicillin. In fact, it works better

I have spent time with a leading immunologist who escaped from the old

Soviet Union in the 1960's. He did his research for years at the famous

Pavlov Institute. He showed me results of testing they did on Garlic and its

power; which proved it to be more effective than penicillin in every test

against bacteria, more potent than any antibiotic known.

In Russia, the economy is not controlled by pharmaceutical companies and

Medicine, like it is in the United States. So, it only made sense for them

to use the cheaper; easily available garlic with no side effects other than

the odor - as the nation's antibiotic.

Pharmaceutical antibiotics are non selective in their destruction of

bacteria in your body; they just destroy it all.

This creates many problems because our body has millions of so-called

friendly bacteria that we need for proper metabolic functions. This is why

many people, after a course of antibiotic therapy have digestive problems,

constipation, and yeast and fungal-overgrowth infections.

A worse problem is that antibiotics don't destroy 100% of a bacteria strain

in your body Usually only 99%. the remaining bacteria mutates; becomes more

deadly and antibiotic-resistant. this is how very lethal,

antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria are created.

Garlic is totally selective in its bacteria destruction, only killing

bacteria that's harmful to our body what is amazing is that, at the same

time, garlic actually enhances our friendly bacteria and improves our

intestinal flora and digestion.

Garlic destroys many types of bacteria including Streptococcus,

Staphylococcus, Typhoid, Diphtheria, cholera, bacterial dysentery

(Traveler's diarrhea), Tuberculosis, Tetanus, Rheumatic bacteria, and many

others.

But, that's not all, Garlic is also an extremely potent anti-viral agent.

Garlic has been tested against many viruses and is known to destroy on

contact, the viruses that cause Measles, Mumps, Mononucleosis (epstein-Barr)

Chicken pox, Herpes simplex #1 and #2, Herpes Zoster; Viral Hepatitis,

scarlet fever; Rabies and others.

But still, that's not all. Garlic's anti-fungal ability is second to none.

In the laboratory it has proven to be more potent than any known antifungal

agent including Nystatin. Garlic will regulate the overgrowth of Candida

albicans and positively kill ringworm.

Garlic is a proven cancer remedy. About 1/3rd of all the medical research

into garlic is cancer-related.

Garlic has been shown to help our white blood cells not only defend us

against cancer; but also to increase our ability to destroy tumors. when the

properties of garlic are present in the bloodstream, many aspects of our

immunity are enhanced. Garlic has also been found to stimulate interferon

production, enhance natural killer cells, stop tumor growth, and even reduce

the associated pain of cancer

Most of the research has been done on cancers of the digestive tract. In

one medical university study garlic was shown to reduce stomach cancer 10

times more effectively than the nongarlic-eating group.
