Dr. Bob Beck says garlic is a dangerous poison...
Alex you may need to read this research on garlic by Bob Beck: http://www.relfe.com/health_benefits_of_garlic.html And when you say you feel more healing from a new substance, could it often mean that you are just 'feeling' more? This research has worried me... a lot. If it is accurate I would definitely prefer if it wasn't in the formula.

Sorry to say but its crap.. GARLIC has been prooven to be the most Potent thing you can take for your health, i have never heard GARLIC is bad .. Garlic health benefits and medicinal properties have long been known Garlic has long been considered a herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague! It has been used extensively in herbal medicine (phytotherapy, sometimes spelt phitotherapy). Raw garlic is used by some to treat the symptoms of acne and there is some evidence that it can assist in managing high cholesterol levels. It can even be effective as a natural mosquito repellent In general, a stronger tasting clove of garlic has more sulphur content and hence more medicinal value. Some people have suggested that organically grown garlic tends towards a higher sulphur level and hence greater benefit to health Modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful antibiotic, albeit broad-spectrum rather than targeted. The body does not appear to build up resistance to the garlic, so its positive health benefits continue over time. Studies have shown that garlic - especially aged garlic - can have a powerful antioxidant effect. Antioxidants help to protect the body against damaging "free radicals". Medicinal Ingredients of Garlic There are two main medical ingredients which produce the garlic health benefits: allicin and diallyl sulphides Health Effects of Allicin : http://www.garlic-central.com/allicin.html Health Effects of Diallyl Sulphides : http://www.garlic-central.com/diallyl-sulphides.html

Well I hope your right and I checked all over the net and only one man has bad things to say about it. I wonder why he would say it though. He was seeing something in his research. The bad thing about health is that everything has to be double and triple checked by each individual such is the deep corruption in conventional medicine.

Here in latin country we take a lot of garlic in food since thousand years ago and nobody never had bad side effects from that, apart smelling breath sometimes!

I've thought about this and after almost two months I'm quitting GP and SCF as I'm quitting all garlic, onions and leeks. They've never really been agreeable to me and Dr. Bob Beck is a great reseacher with no reason to lie. In fact he personally funded a Stanford study into this which proved his case. It may not tangibly be a brain poison but the research says it is. I'm not risking it. Instead I will try my own routine. Alex seems to have just done GP and SCF off his own bat anyway.

If you do not mind, please try a test like this after a few months garlic-free. Prepare some pills or some candy -- some with garlic in the center and some with salt. Take one pill per day and see if you can feel any bad effect. Make sure you cannot tell by taste alone. Later check to see if you can identify bad garlic pills just from bad effect. That way you can confirm garlic really affects you negatively.

Since i was a kid GARLIC has been a part of my eating aswell as my families whether in sauces or roasts etc.. Never have i had any bad side effects, I suggest to you not to stop eating GARLIC just because one person has stated it is POISON for the brain.. Unless i have hard real evidence i beleive as many others do that GARLIC is the most Powerful vegetable you can take (without exaggeration of course).. But you must do what you feel is right for you- all good with me no prob.. :wink:

I also like garlic, especially garlic bread, for $1.50 I can buy two loaves of it from the supermarket and each one only takes 30 seconds to heat up. Very cheap and very nice but I do not believe it is health for you at all. I think cook some garlic and onions with oil in the pan, add salt and pepper and it should be relatively healthy.

Really if you cook GARLIC it will become less powerful but still have the strong smell/taste.. Best to have it RAW like i do GRATED until it becomes PULP and mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar and a little Honey.. I grate it only because my blender broke but is RAW and is very Powerful that way..

Vampires

Some people are greatly misinterpreting what Dr. Beck is proposing. He is not saying you will die by consuming garlic or even notice awful side effects. He is saying that it is shown to affect brainwave activity, reaction time and kill brain cells. Of course like many things it can take years for this to actually result in anything huge or to even be quantified in any smack you between the eyes way. But according to the research it is not good for you, can affect healing, health and just like many undesirables, like say smoking, you may not realise how it hampers you at the time or what it can cause until it you are hit with a problem like lack of concentration or emotional instability. According to Dr. Beck and his observations and then Stanford research it can affect the brain, mind and healing/living process adversely. Of course people will point to the Italians and say 'Well they don't DIE', but no large scale research has been done into how garlic eaters are possibly affected compared with non-garlic eaters. In the fifties when the first murmurs of the dangers of smoking were exposed people scoffed then too as there were so many smokers, and it was often stated that the chain smoking French were doing just fine. Of course it is now well proven that smoking is very bad for your health. That's not to say many things don't carry benefit too. Garlic is known as an antibiotic, but it is also proven to be indiscrimate as to what it kills, be it bad bacteria, good bacteria or brain cells. And as it passes the blood brain barrier, to the more fragile brain cells, it can seemingly cause problems with the most crucial organ we have. I've even found research saying it was helpful with brain tumors for the very same reason: It appears to carry a poison that kills brain cells.

If really garlic could kill brain cells IN VIVO ( not in lab glass ) it would have been banned by FDA and such. Garlic is only good for health.
