toxic garlic

[Guest guest]

Got this from another list........

********************************************GARLIC - The Toxic Shock! Reprinted from Nexus Feb/Mar 2001**********************************************The reason garlic is so toxic, the sulphone hydroxyl ionpenetrates the blood-brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poison for higher-life forms and brain cells. Wediscovered this, much to our horror, when I (Bob Beck, DSc)was the world's largest manufacturer of ethical EEG feedback equipment. We'd have people come back from lunch that lookedclinically dead on an encephalograph, which we used tocalibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" "Well, Iwent to an Italian restaurant and there was some garlic inmy salad dressing!" So we had them sign things that theywouldn't touch garlic before classes or we were wastingtheir time, their money and my time.I guess some of you are pilots or have been in flighttests...I was in flight test engineering in Doc Hallan'sgroup in the 1950's. The flight surgeon would come aroundevery month and remind all of us: "Don't you dare touch anygarlic 72 hours before you fly one of our airplanes, because it'll double or triple your reaction time. You're threetimes slower than you would be if you'd not had a few dropsof garlic."Well, we didn't know why for 20 years later, until I ownedthe Alpha-Metrics Corporation. We were building biofeed-back equipment and found out that garlic usually desynchronises your brain waves. So I funded a study at Stanford and, sure enough, theyfound that it's a poison. You can rub a clove of garlic onyour foot - a you can smell it shortly later on your wrists. So it penetrates the body. This is why DMSO smells a lotlike garlic: that sulphone hydroxyl ion penetrates all thebarriers including the corpus callosum in the brain.Any of you who are organic gardeners know that if you don'twant to use DDT, garlic will kill anything in the way ofinsects.Now, most people have heard most of their lives garlic isgood for you, and we put those people in the same class ofignorance as the mothers who at the turn of the centurywould buy morphine sulphate in the drugstore and give it totheir babies to put'em to sleep.If you have any patients who have low-grade headaches orattention deficit disorder, they can't quite focus on thecomputer in the after-noon, just do an experiment - you oweit to yourselves. Take these people off garlic and see howmuch better they get, very very shortly. And then let themeat a little garlic after about three weeks. They'll say "... I had no idea that this was the cause of our problems."
