We also know a lot about how garlic benefits major systems in the body:
bullet The Immune System. Garlic is rich in sulfur-containing compounds which cleanse and empower the immune system – both enhancing overall immune function and strengthening the killer cells which seek and destroy damaged or mutant cells.
bullet Cancer. Garlic is shown to kill some cancer cells, as well as boosting the body’s ability to kill them from within. Garlic inhibits the growth of tumors and it blocks the ability of carcinogens to damage tissues. Some cancer patients receive garlic components before radiation treatments to protect tissue from further damage.
bullet The Heart. Garlic regulates blood pressure, lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels, and increases levels of HDL (good cholesterol).
bullet Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites and Fungus. Garlic is a powerful antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal agent and an effective treatment for parasites. One 12-week study has shown that even AIDS patients showed marked health improvements with garlic.
bullet Pollution and Toxicity. Garlic is a great detoxifier. Some of its sulfur compounds appear to bind to heavy metals, like lead and mercury, and neutralize them. Garlic also strengthens the liver, the organ most stressed by the processing of toxins.
