Scientists were also able to kill Helicobacter pylori by using garlic extract. (H. pylori is considered to be involved in the development of peptic ulcer and stomach cancer.) (Gale Maleskey et al.) The garlic extract also showed an antifungal effect on yeast and moulds. (In China, garlic is used for vaginitis, Candida and other fungal infections.) The ability of garlic to provide some protection against atherosclerosis, coronary thrombosis and stroke is believed to be related, at least in part, to its ability to inhibit aggregation of the blood platelets.

We also recommend Kyolic-EPA from Wakunaga of America, a blend of aged garlic extract and fish oil derived from northern Pacific sardines, and Cardiovascular Research's Essential Fatty Acid Complex. Evening Primrose Oil See Primrose Oil under Essential Fatty Acids in this section. Fiber Found in many foods, fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and stabilize blood sugar levels. It helps prevent colon cancer, constipation, hemorrhoids, obesity, and many other disorders. Fiber is also good for removing certain toxic metals from the body.

Hypolipidaemic activity has been observed in animals with garlic extract; this has been attributed to S-allylcysteine which is regarded as important in this activity. 5-Allylcysteine inhibits NF-kB synthesis and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, which are both implicated in atherosclerosis. Allicin is also antioxidant, and garlic extracts protect endothelial cells from oxidized LDL damage. It is known that ajoene (Fig. 14.5) is a potent antithrombotic agent, as well as 2-vinyl-4//-l,3-dithiin to a lesser extent.

Instead, I recommend taking garlic extract at a dose of 600 mg three times a day for at least one year. You can take it permanently without experiencing any side effects. Garlic is also excellent for reducing atherosclerosis. You should take 50 mg of zinc with each dose of DMSA. This is because DMSA also binds to zinc and can cause significant zinc loss as well. Because DMSA binds more actively to mercury than zinc, the DMSA will deposit the zinc in the tissues where it is needed, and remove the mercury.

Aged garlic extract, but not raw garlic, has been shown, to prevent oxidation of LDL cholesterol in humans,97 an event believed to be a significant factot in the development of atherosclerosis. Ginkgo (page 681) may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis by interfering with a chemical the body sometimes makes in excess, called platelet activating factor (PAF).98 PAF stimulates platelets to stick together too much; ginkgo stops this from happening. Ginkgo also increases blood circulation to the brain, arms, and legs.99 Garlic and ginkgo also decrease excessive blood coagulation.

All of these trials administered garlic for at least four weeks, typically using 600-900 mg of garlic extract per day. Onion (page 718)—closely related to garlic—may also have a mild blood pressure-lowering effect, according to preliminary research.59 Two controlled clinical trials have shown that hibiscus can lower blood pressure. In one, people with high blood pressure who went off their medications were given either 2 teaspoons (5 to 6 grams) Hibiscus sabdariffa infused in 1 cup (250 ml) water or black tea three times per day.

When endothelial cells are exposed to either garlic extract or one of its major compounds (S-allylcysteine), we see significant protection against oxidation and cell-membrane damage.384 Recall that malfunction of endothelial cells initiates and promotes atherosclerosis. Another potential way garlic may help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease is by reducing blood coagulability. Sudden coagulation in the vicinity of atherosclerotic crud (plaque) is the precursor for dramatic onset of a heart attack or stroke.

In a preliminary study, supplementation with a special aged garlic extract (Kastamonu Garlic) in the amount of 1 ml per 2.2 pounds of body weight per day for one month resulted in a 32% reduction in the size of the prostate gland and a significant improvement in urinary symptoms.22 It is not known whether other forms of garlic would have the same effect. Pygeum (page 734), an extract from the bark of the African tree, has been approved in Germany, France, and Italy as a remedy for BPH.

If you prefer a liquid supplement, add 1 tablespoon of liquid aged garlic extract (Kyolic) to a cup of water. Garlic supplements may be taken on a daily basis before, during, and after a fast to promote overall health, aid in the healing process, and rid the colon of many types of parasites. Recommendations Q If you must have something to eat during the fast, eat a piece of watermelon. Always eat watermelon by itself, with no additional foods. You can also try applesauce— fresh, not canned—made in a blender or food processor. Leave the skin on the apples, and do not cook them.

In one trial, administration of an aged garlic extract reduced the number of infections and relieved diarrhea (page 163) in a group of patients with AIDS.77 Garlic's active constituents have also been shown to kill HIV in the test tube, though these results have not been confirmed in human trials.78 A preliminary trial of isolated andrographolides, found in andrographis (page 626), determined that while they decreased viral load and increased CD4 lymphocyte levels in people with HIV infection, they also caused potentially serious liver problems and changes in taste in many of the participants.

Overall, aged garlic supplements provide a greater concentration of garlic's Free Radicals A free radical is an atom or group of atoms that contains at least one unpaired electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles that usually occur in pairs, forming a chemically stable arrangement. If an electron is unpaired, another atom or molecule can easily bond with it, causing a chemical reaction. Because they join so readily with other compounds, free radicals can effect dramatic changes in the body, and they can cause a lot of oxidative damage.

PureGar can cause a temporary gastric burning and pungent odor, whereas Kyolic aged garlic extract is free of these effects. No serious side effects have been reported among garlic users, evaluating hundreds of subjects. However, it should be noted that garlic thins the blood, and for some individuals (particularly those using anticoagulants) it is essential to abstain from or to watchfully monitor supplementation. Therapeutic factors contained in garlic include magnesium, selenium, 17 amino acids, 33 sulfur compounds, and vitamins Bl, A, and C, as well as germanium.

There is a controversy as to whether cancer patients should take antioxidant supplements at the same time that cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs are being administered. Proponents of antioxidants point to human studies showing that antioxidant supplements protect healthy cells from the damaging effects of chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy drugs can cause lethal heart muscle damage in a small petcentage of cancer patients.

Mice that also received fresh garlic extract were much more resistant to the second injection of tumor cells. The fresh garlic completely wiped out breast cancers in the mice. Experimenters credited garlic's allicin. Somewhat to their amazement, Japanese scientists also found garlic extract acted as a powerful antioxidant against so-called "lipid peroxidation" that can insert inappropriate oxygen molecules into cells, causing their destruction. In fact, in mice, garlic proved a better antioxidant than vitamin E, one of the best, in reversing liver damage.

Adverse Effects Garlic odor may permeate the breath and skin.

Garlic preparations with uniquely different chemical compositions, including powdered dried garlic products standardized to allicin yield and aged garlic extract (AGE™) products that are standardized to S-allylcysteine (SAC), have been the subject of numerous clinical studies. Determining which forms are the most effective remains controversial and is an ongoing subject of study and debate. Medical literature includes positive outcomes in clinical studies involving several types of garlic preparations. Photo © 2003 stevenfoster.
