Miraculous garlic vodka treats diabetes and cancer
Science / Health
From time immemorial garlic has been known for its remarkable qualities
both as a flavouring and a unique natural medication.
The invigorating qualities of garlic were used many centuries ago in
Ancient Egypt. Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans were certain that garlic could
put heart and bravery to warriors. In China the vegetable was used to treat the
diseases of lungs and intestines. It was also used as an antiseptic during
plague and cholera epidemics. Russian physicians believed that garlic had
medicinal qualities against snake bites, infectious diseases and plague.
Garlic
Garlic is a wonderful prophylactic against a large number of diseases,
flu first and foremost. The healing qualities of the vegetable were a mystery
for ancient doctors. The secret was unveiled by Dr. David Mirelman from the
Jerusalem-based Institute for Medicine. The scientist found out that garlic was
rich with allicin - the substance that literally eats up pathogenic microbes in
the body. Garlic neutralizes so-called free molecules, the source of
long-lasting infectious processes. In addition, it fights dysentery and bile
duct illnesses.
Professor Mirelman recommended a dose of 10-15 grams of garlic should be
taken with food daily. A close relative of garlic, onion, can harm the mucous
membrane of the stomach and produce burning pain in it. However, garlic can be
taken even by patients suffering from stomach ulcer. Stomach enzymes quickly
neutralize the irritating quality of garlic, and the burning is felt only in
the mouth.
Garlic is like a chemical laboratory. It contains ethereal and fatty
oils, glycoside allicin, B and C vitamins, carbohydrate, magnesium, calcium,
phosphorous, chlorine, iodine, lysozyme, biologically active phytoncides and
many other microelements.
One bulb of garlic is capable of reducing blood pressure, normalizes
metabolism and helps remove excessive cholesterol. The vegetable is therefore
used to treat primary hypertension and atherosclerosis. In Tibetan medicine,
garlic is known as a tonic and prophylactic medicinal substance against quite a
number of infectious diseases.
Garlic vodka still enjoys popularity in Russia. There are many recipes of
this "anti-flu beverage", but it mainly comes to several cloves of garlic added
to a mixture of vermouth, vodka, gin and brandy. The drink should be stirred up
twice a day and infused for not less than 21 days. People do not drink glasses
or garlic vodka, though. They only take 10 or 15 drops of it two times a day.
Scientists have discovered over a hundred of chemical compounds in garlic
for the time being. The contents of selenium, germanium and zinc can be
effectively used for anti-cancer prophylaxis. This miraculous vegetable treats
malignant growths of stomach, mammary glands, rectum and gall bladder.
Sulphides kill staphylococcus, dysentery bacillus, harmful fungi, resolves
platelets and blood clots. Garlic therapy can be successfully used for
cataract, arthritis, diabetes, coronary arteries, heart disturbances,
stenocardia, etc. Garlic can also help get rid of toothache, warts, pimples and
furuncles.
Garlic therapy has only one side effect - the unbearable smell. This
minor discomfort can be eased with parsley roots.
