Garlic, From Your Kitchen Pharmacy

By Betty Bennett, RN

Herbal Medicine is often thought to be a secret practice known to only a few specialists, whether

they be Chinese Herbalists, Naturopaths or Appalachian Wise Women. But, in fact, our kitchenscontain plants that can double as prescriptions for common ailments.

Consider garlic: This great tasting addition to any cook's kitchen has a number of properties thatmake it a useful medicine. Garlic has been used as an antibiotic for years. More recent researchhas demonstrated activity in cancer prevention and treatment, control of hypertension anddiabetes, thinning the blood much as aspirin does, and cholesterol management.

Garlic's use as an antibiotic dates from the ancient times of Egyptian pyramid builders. During thedays of the Black Plague, people who ate large amounts of garlic were spared from sickness. TheFrench town of Marseilles was protected from a plague that was raging through France in 1722,largely due to a preparation of vinegar and garlic. During World War I British field physicianssoaked sterilized sphagnum moss in garlic juice and applied it to wounds, greatly reducing deaths

from infection.

But aside from these anecdotal reports, there is solid research behind the use of garlic as anantibiotic. In 1935 two Japanese researchers found that the antiseptic properties of garlic werefound to be superior to penicillin in treating the typhoid bacillus.

Modern researchers have found garlic effective against Candida, Histoplasma, Cryptococcus,Tuberculosis, Influenza B, Herpes Simplex, Staphylococcus Aureus, Leprosy and even the AidsVirus.

As a flea, tick and mosquito repellent, garlic protects against diseases caused by these pests.

Evidence points to a role for garlic in preventing cancer. Because of its high selenium content,

garlic prevents the production of free radicals which causes many cancers. Researchers in Japanhave demonstrated a reduction in breast cancer, for instance. Furthermore garlic protects againststomach and colon cancer by blocking the formation of nitrosamines which are made from thenitrates used to preserve foods such as ham and sausage. In a controlled experiment, Chinesevolunteers were given 300 mg of nitrates and 500 mg of proline (a proven chemical that producesnitrosamines). The subject's blood level of nitrosamines rose as expected. But subjects who ate5000 mg of fresh garlic before their dose of nitrates and proline had no detectable levels ofnitrosamines in their blood.

Reports have been published in Science Magazine and The America Journal of Urology andCancer Research showing that compounds in garlic inhibit a needed chemical reaction insidecancer cells. The John Wayne Cancer Center in Santa Monica, CA, uses garlic as part of thetreatment protocol for leukemia. In another cancer treatment center, garlic extract is administeredto treat bladder cancer. Crushed garlic, applied to the skin, has reduced the size of, andoccasionally eliminated, basal cell carcinoma. Natural killer cells (white blood cells that killinvading or abnormal cells) became more aggressive in patients who ate raw garlic or took agarlic preparation, called Kyolic.

Other scientifically demonstrate that the medicinal effects of garlic include small but significantreduction in blood pressure (2-5 points), anti-clotting properties similar to aspirin, reduction inblood sugar and triglycerides, reducing LDL and raising HDL, inhibiting inflammation, controllingasthma and bronchitis, increased life span, detoxification from heavy metal poisoning, andimproved learning and memory performance.

The way that garlic is administered varies, and the effects of garlic vary with the method ofadministration. The easiest way is just to eat the raw cloves. The disadvantages of this is that thegarlic odor exudes from the pores which can cause some social repercussions. One aficionadoclaimed that after he persisted in using garlic at a rate of 2 cloves a day for three weeks the effect

was not so noticeable. There is no mention of his friends reaction.

There have been some successful attempts to solve the odor problem. Doctors Eugene Schnelland Manji Wakunaga working in Japan discovered a method for cold pressing whole garlic clovesand aging them for 20 months. The end product, called Kyolic, comes in capsules. Kwai is tabletform of dried garlic. Ajoene is a liquid derived from garlic. Manufacturers of the products claimthat they are not only odorless, but contain increased levels of some of the key nutrients,including selenium.

And there we have it, the story of the humble garlic. Is it a delicious condiment or powerfulhealing herb? You decide.

No article on garlic would be complete without a few recipes to try.

Garlic Spread

One popular method, not exclusively for medical use, is to slice the tops off the clove, drizzle witholive oil, place in a garlic baker (or wrap loosely in foil) and bake slowly until soft. The cookedcloves can be squeezed onto bread or crackers as a spread.

Garlic Syrup

Peel and mince 1 lb. fresh garlic. Place in wide mouth jar. Add equal parts of vinegar and distilledwater to just cover the garlic. Close tightly, shake well and let stand for 4 days. Shake thecontainer at least twice daily during this time. Add 1 pint of glycerin, shake well and let stand

another day. Force through strainer. Filter liquid through linen cloth. For topical application use asis. If given as an oral medication add honey and stir until blended.

An alternative to the above recipe is to replace the vinegar in the recipe above with the followingliquid: add 3 oz of powdered caraway seeds and 3 oz of sweet fennel seed to 1 Qt. of vinegar.Boil for 15 minutes closely covered. Strain and cool. It can then be used in the above recipe.

Garlic Syrup can be used for asthma or cough: 1 tsp. every 15 minutes until spasm is controlledfollowed by 1 tsp. every 2-3 hours for the remainder of the day, then 1 tsp. 3-4 times a day.

Soak small soft cloth in the liquid, wringslightly and apply. Cover with a dry towel and leave until the warmth is no longer felt. Replacewith new warm cloth and repeat until tingling is detected (about 30 minutes). Useful for fungalrashes or boils. One resource says that this is effective for muscle spasms as well.

Ear Ache Remedy

Make garlic oil by slicing a peeled clove of garlic into a small quantity of olive oil. Heat briefly.Cool and strain to remove the chunks. Apply a few drops of warm garlic oil extract into affectedear and seal with a small bit of cotton

Goldenseal - Goldenseal is another very powerful natural antibiotic herb which works wonderfullyfor fighting almost any kind of infection. Goldenseal is most often used internally for throat, sinus,and ear infections. It's also excellent for any other infections including kidney, bladder and yeast.

Unlike garlic, putting goldenseal on a yeast or fungus infection externally doesn't normally kill theinfection. This herb is best taken internally for best results, but it can be used in salves to helpprevent infections of scraps, burns and wounds.

Goldenseal is a natural source of insulin, so diabetics and hypoglycemics need to take care inusing it.

Echinacea - This is another excellent antibiotic herb which is particularly useful for glandularinfections and problems. Echinacea is most often used for ear aches, strep throat and lymphgland problems. This herb is also known for helping to prevent colds and flu symptoms frombecoming as severe, and lessening the length of suffering time during cold and flu season.

Echinacea also an antiseptic herb so it can be used in tea form as a sterilizing wash whenneeded.

Active compounds: Caffeic acid derivatives, polyacetylenes, alkylamides polysaccharidesessential oils, flavonoids, and glycoproteins.

Some of the most common uses of this herb areimmune system stimulation and theprevention ofinfections. It appears to have antiviral properties due to the stimulation of interferon-like effects. Ithas been shown to increase phagocytosis and promote respiratory cellular activity. Severalconstituents, including alkylamides, chicoric acids and related glycosides produce a non-specificimmune response. This herb appears to increase lymphocyte activity by stimulating the release oftumor necrosis factor.

Traditionally this herb has been used to boost the immune system, promote healing and reduceinflammation. It has been useful in treatingacne, cancer, chronic fatigue, colds,coughs, earinfections,influenza,parasitic infections and strep throat. It is sometimes used along sidechemotherapy during the treatment of colorectal and hepatocellular cancer.

*note from editor: This is one of the herbs I prepare in large quantities so it's always on hand. I

buy the organic dried roots and make up enough tincture to last all winter. I take it - or give it tofamily members at the first signs of imbalance. I have found this herb to be a good herbal ally forchildren. Glycerin-based tinctures are very effective in lowering fevers, fighting infections andboosting overall immunity. My neighbor makes an echinacea tincture with fennel seedadded andit has such a nice flavor even the kids like it!

Parts used:Dried rhizomes and roots are used for making supplements. This herb is usuallyavailable as a tea and in tincture or capsule form.

CAUTIONS: Use Echinacea with caution if you have an allergy to ragweed or plants in thesunflower family.

A healthy, properly functioning immune system is absolutely vital to good health. It is the key tothe healing process from the tiniest scratch - to the most complex virus. Even the aging process

is intimately linked with the immune system. Compromised immunity leaves us vulnerable todisease and impairs our ability to heal properly and age well.

RECURRING INFECTIONS

CHRONIC FATIGUE

LISTLESSNESS

CHRONIC DIARRHEA

SLOW WOUND HEALING

ALLERGIES

INFLAMMATION

People who have more than 2 or 3colds or infectious illnesses per year are likely suffering fromweakened immunity.

WHAT IS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM?

The immune system is a complex system of interactions involving many organs and glands aswell as substances such as bone marrow, white blood cells, lymphatic vessels and serum factors

in our blood. Our immunity depends on all these components functioning together.

HOW DOES OUR IMMUNITY BECOME IMPAIRED?

Unfortunately, modern life is full of things that tend to depress our immune systems.

PESTICIDES

CHEMICALS IN HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS

FOOD ADDITIVES

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS

OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS

POOR LIVING HABITS

STRESS

IMPROPER NUTRITION

CHEMOTHERAPY

Also many disorders have been linked to improper immune function including thyroid deficiency,diabetes, rheumatic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and pernicious anemia.

For optimal immune function we need to address any disorders that may be inhibiting immunefunction. We also need to take steps to avoid exposure to toxins such as pesticides and

chemicals we use around the house. Try wearing gloves when cleaning to avoid skin exposureand avoid inhaling fumes from things like bleach, oven cleaners, and the like. Make sure dishesand glassware are thoroughly rinsed of any residue from dish washing liquids etc. Even though

they're more expensive, consider buying nontoxic cleansers. Take steps to ensure that the soapsand shampoos you use are made from the most natural ingredients possible. (Aubrey Organics isa good option.) It's also important to get plenty of fresh air and to drink the purest water available.

Reduce StressandAnxiety

Stress triggers changes in biochemistry that suppress white blood cell activity and taxes theendocrine system in ways that ultimately result in lowered defense against infection and animpaired capacity for healing. Stress also depletes the body of nutrients. Addressing chronic

Kelp - This herb is not commonly thought of as an antibiotic, but it acts as one in your body bystimulating your thyroid to produce more iodine. Iodine kills bad bacteria that causes sicknessinside your body.

Kelp is quite useful against strep throat however, when used in tea form. Since this herb is high innatural iodine itself, drinking it in tea form will coat the throat, allowing the iodine to kill the strepbacteria.

Anxiety disorders come in two basic forms.

The chronic form involves a recurring sense of foreboding and worry accompanied by mildphysical symptoms.

A panic attack, on the other hand, comes on suddenly and unexpectedly, with symptoms that are

often mistaken for a heart attack or another life-threatening condition.

There is sometimes a feeling of not being able to get a full breath of air. Symptoms come onsuddenly and diminish suddenly and can be quite frightening.

Some research suggests that the central nervous systems of people with anxiety disorders mayoverreact to stress and take a longer time than most to return to a calmer state.

Symptoms may begin with an upsetting event-an accident, divorce, or death. Sometimes there isno obvious cause.

There may also be a biochemical basis. Studies have shown that people who are prone to panic

attacks have higher blood levels of lactic acid, a chemical produced when muscles metabolizesugar without enough oxygen.

Other research suggests that anxiety may be the result of an overproduction of stress hormonesby the brain andadrenal glands.

Stress can be described as the response to taxing physical, emotional, or

environmental demands.

The body is equipped to deal with brief episodes, but high stress on a regular basis caneventually take a heavy toll on physical and mental health.

Over time, chronically high levels of stress hormones deplete both nutrient and energy reserves,creating an overall state of exhaustion.

What's more, blood pressure and cholesterol levels increase, the stomach secretes too muchacid, sex hormones diminish, and the brain becomes starved for its main energy source, glucose,which can impair mental ability over the long term.

Chronic stress can also take a heavy toll on the immune system, decreasing one's resistance tocolds, flus, and other types of illness.
