Hi Catherine, Did I read this right?
"You're right. In order to benefit from garlic it must be specially stored at at -70 centigrade. It will decompose within a few hours if stored above that temperature." Minus 70 C..?

Allicin is VERY unstable and disappears too quickly to explain anti microbe action of garlic.>> You're right. In order to benefit from garlic it must be specially stored at at -70 centigrade. It will decompose within a few hours if stored above that temperature. There is some experimental evidence that allicin can be produced as a stable liquid dissolved in water stored at 4 degrees centigrade for up to six months. The compound is produced by a natural substrate/enzyme reaction. This research is preliminary and ongoing, and currently available only for research purposes. I would also be concerned about vaginally inserting garlic because it is quite irritating to skin. Regards, Catherine -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
