Garlic provides nourishment for the circulatory, immune and urinary systems. It aids in supporting normal circulation, nourishing stomach tissues, maintaining normal blood pressure and aids the body’s natural ability to resist disease. It also helps to reduce cholesterol and blood fats.

How does garlic fight off infections and parasites?

Garlic has been used for expelling intestinal worms and parasites from ancient times by the Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and Babylonians. It is a natural anthelmintic and is especially useful against giardia, hookworms, leishmania, pinworms, plasmodium, roundworms and trypanosome.

It not only has a history of killing parasites but also of controlling secondary fungal infections by detoxifying while gently stimulating elimination. It also has antioxidant properties to protect against the oxidation caused by parasite toxins.

Garlic is able to slow and kill over 60 types of fungus and 20 types of bacteria, as well as some of the most potent viruses.

The active components in garlic, that kill bacteria, fungus, parasites, viruses and yeasts, are allicin and ajoene. These compounds can kill amoeba’s including one-cell varieties, as well as pinworms and hookworms.

Allicin is not present in garlic in its natural state. When it is chopped or otherwise damaged, the enzyme alliinase acts on the chemical alliin converting it into allicin, the active component contributing for its success for killing parasites.

It has now been proven scientifically that garlic is 100 times more effective than antibiotics at killing food poisoning bacteria in the intestines.

How to fight infections and kill and expel parasites using garlic?

  1. Chop finely or crush 4 cloves of garlic.
  2. Allow to stand for 15 minutes to allow the potent allicin component to be produced.
  3. Then mix with 1 glass of liquid (water, juice or milk) and drink daily for 3 weeks.

NOTE: Consuming fibre rich food every day is important to help expel the parasites. Okra and psyllium husks are idea for this purpose.
