In Ayurveda herbal medicine, garlic is heating. So, if someone tends to have plenty of "fire" already, it can cause heartburn and other problems. Sally

Actually, I've found that if you don't let the chopped garlic sit in your mouth (or swirl/chew it in with water) you don't need to be "deodorized" or live alone. :-) I quickly mince a fresh clove, put it on a spoon, then on my tongue & immediately wash it straight down like a vitamin. Don't chew it, don't let it touch your cheeks. I heard somewhere (I think it was Alton Brown's Good Eats, actually) that it's the volatiles (there are 2) that are released from the garlic layers & blend together in the first few seconds of mincing. This is exactly the moment that garlic should be ingested for maximum effect. I used a clove every morning for 3 months to assist in getting rid of candida overgrowth...no one knew. :-) You don't burp garlic doing it this way either...I should know; I did this on an empty stomach every day. It worked wonders and I also had no discernable body odor during this time...while I had the candida overgrowth/imbalance, the BO was present. Just my .02 cents...

Raw garlic is quite good for colds. Before CS when I felt a cold coming on I could often stop it by chopping up a large garlic clove and mixing it in a quarter to half cup of water and chugging it down. Well, you get garlic breath, but it seems to work pretty well. It does kill viruses... If you are by yourself, you can take as much as your system can stand...
