The Harmful Effects of Garlic

[lightgiver]

The reason garlic is so toxic, the sulphone hydroxyl ion penetrates the blood brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poison for higher life forms and brain cells. We discovered this much to our horror, when I was the world's largest manufacturer of ethical EEG biofeedback equipment. We'd have people come back from lunch that looked clinically dead on the encephalograph, which we used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" " Well, I went to an Italian restaurant and there was some garlic in my salad dressing!"

Garlic is toxic to humans because its sulphone hydroxyl ions penetrate the blood-brain barrier and are poisonous to brain cells.(1) For precisely the same reason the garlic family of plants has been widely recognized as being harmful to dogs.
As far back as the 1950s it was known that garlic reduced reaction time by two to three times when consumed by pilots taking flight tests. This is because the toxic effects of garlic desynchronizes brain waves.

The Taoists realized thousands of years ago that plants of the alliaceous family were detrimental to humans. They labelled this group of plants ­ onions, garlic, leeks, chives and spring onions ­ the 'five spicy-scented plants.' They noticed that onions are harmful to the lungs, garlic to the heart, leeks to the spleen, chives to the liver and spring onions to the kidneys. Hindus also avoid this group, which they have called the 'five pungent plants.' As well as producing offensive breath and body odour, these plants induce aggravation, agitation, anxiety and aggression. Thus they are harmful physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

I find it hard to believe that a little garlic is that harmful for you. I love it (except for the bad breath) But I have noticed if i eat too much of it, I get an upset stomach.

What about garlic killing bad germs in your body?

I like garlic myself,a friend posted me the link.:)

More research I think,I do have a yoga book that states this also, they are considered

Yoga: Proper Diet

Yoga is so much more than a workout. Yoga is about toning and stretching exercises that are great for the entire body; it is about pranayama breathing techniques; meditation; and correct diet for the body. In fact yogic diet is one of the five main principles of yoga. Eating healthy and according to the principles of yoga, will make you feel healthy and clean, and look after your complete well being. Sages believed in a philosophy, which is that energy has three basic qualities –

* Guna – this energy maintains equilibrium
* Sattva means purity; Rajas means passion
* Tamas means darkness

Food and diet can be categorized into three groups:

Sattvic Food: The following are the characteristics of Sattvic diet.

* It is the purest form of food.
* This is the best food for yoga practitioners.
* It brings peace to the mind and is nourishing for the body.
* Sattvic food is great for overall fitness and for a balanced energy flow.
* Sattvic food includes cereals, honey, herbs, sprouts, seeds, nuts, legumes, butter, milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh juices, and whole meal bread.

Rajasic Food: The following are the characteristics of Rajasic diet.

* This food is salty, dry, sour, hot and bitter.
* It is not good for the mind-body balance.
* It tends to excite and over-stimulate the body, and makes the mind restless.
* Rajasic food includes chocolate, salt, eggs, fish, tea and coffee, sharp spices.

Tamasic Food: The following are the characteristics of Tamasic diet.

* This food is not good for the body or the mind.
* It brings in a sense of inertia, clouds the power of reasoning, and sucks out the energy.
* It destroys the body’s resistance to diseases.
* It also invokes feelings of anger, jealousy and greed in people.
* Overeating is a Tamasic behavior.
* Tamastic food includes meat, alcohol, tobacco, onions, garlic, fermented foods and over ripe foods.

Hey y'alls

I just checked out that link (I am a believer in garlic being a natural antibiotic - and have used it successfully when ill. I also use it alot in cooking.)

The article was written by Reiki Empowerment Seminars. Not sure what to say about that, but a reply on that same link sounds reasonable to me:

Reiki Detector on a Garlic High

Dear Rense Audience. I have another type of detector which I have internalized. This informs me when someone is "out of alignment," let's say. I am sorry for the Reiki Masters that garlic disrupts their testing and makes them stupid, slow and simple. This seems to be obvious from this article which maudlinizes the subject of garlic, misrepresenting benefits as detriment and is utterly simplistic in its approach. Yes, garlic is a known mild depressant. Yes, garlic can be poisonous. Chefs are trained to avoid letting an open cut contact garlic or its juices. But you don't put garlic direct into the bloodstream, you digest it.

If this text from the Reiki Empowerment Seminars was accurate it would inform participants that for the purposes of Reiki garlic should be avoided.

Likewise, there are Raja yoga techniques you don't want to be practicing after consuming quantities of garlic. It is said to slow the heart and cause it to beat heavy. All these things are true I'm sure. But yoga treatise also warn of other stimulants and depressants, such as coffee & tea, alcohol, tobacco.

Probably don't want to be consuming or using these things if you're on a meditation retreat.

But garlic's health benefits as a natural antibiotic and antifungal agent far outweigh its detriment for the majority of people who are not Reiki Masters or focusing on their third eye. And garlic protects the heart by warding off the very real danger of infection spreading to the heart valves. Garlic is actually a part of heart protection protocols as well as anti-aging formulas.

Now to the meat of the matter. Why would garlic disturb an ECG? Could it be possible that the subject in question had some type of bacterial, fungal or parasitic die-off event after consuming the garlic? This simplistic approach admits no distinction between cleanup and garbage.

This actually is very reminiscent of an engineer's approach to systems analysis. Figure out what you want the thing to do, then eradicate anything extraneous as an unwelcome anomaly. Perhaps if developed the idea has potential, an honorary degree at some technical school. But we'd be throwing garlic on the dustbin of history rather than seeing its rich contribution to regional and ethnic diets, ignoring the wisdom of many an herbalist or natural healer. That's just wrong. Garlic's benefit outweighs its "harmfulness."

Jon Gentry

Really? I didn't know that...:D

[robbyblade]

I think plants in general have toxins in them, as a self-defense mechanism. (To keep animals from eating them.)

It's just a theory I heard, but it makes sense.

[bulletproofheart]

Next someone will tell me Dr Pepper is bad for you.

I adore garlic but like the other poster said,it gives me stomach convulsions.Ones of great agony.

Conspiracy

Many conspiracy theories have been raised over the exact ingredients of Dr. Pepper soft drinks. Rumours identifying some of the 23 flavours ranged from cat urine to battery acid and most substances in between. In a statement released in 1969, the company said their drink "contains no such things", which did little to stop the gossiping.

Also there have been stories that the number 23 also has an important significance for Doctor Pepper . It represents one half of the total amount of chromosomes that are present in the cells of all humans. So the suggestion is that you only need one strand of DNA - rather than the standard two - to understand the taste of Doctor Pepper's drink.

Sex Applications

When most people think of Dr. Pepper, anal sex is the last thing on their minds. However, in the late 1980s as HIV was peaking in growth amongst the gay community, homosexual scientists explored options for cleaning anuses prior to penile intrusion. Dr. Pepper, with its medical branding, high carbonation, and acidic pH was an obvious choice for a sort of anal aperitif for removing crusty fecal chunks and retroviruses alike.

While initial clinical studies involving homosexual men engaging in anonymous unprotected anal sex showed that men who douched with Dr. Pepper enjoyed a 27% lower chance of contracting HIV and a 34% higher chance of getting their "salads tossed", the same men were over twice as likely to become obese and over three times as likely to contract diabetes. This was doubly true for the kids and teenagers taking place in the study who fell prey to the juvenile version of diabetes.

In 2007 the FDA banned the use of Dr. Pepper in gay sex and sodomites world wide have since adopted similar sexual practices using Pepsi, Mellow Yellow, and other soft drinks marketed towards the homosexual community.

I dont understand how Pepsi has been marketed towards the Gay Community though,bizzare what a f**ked up world.

If the sulfer in garlic crosses the blood brain barrier then like DMSO it would take many other toxins it's picked up along the way with it. This does not sound good - I have upped my intake of garlic in the last couple of weeks because of the pneumonic whatsits in the Ukraine.

I think I will try to cut it out for a few days and see what happens.

Lightgiver, have you any health info on chillies at all?

[let it shine]

i had a stuffy nose and a sore throat a few days ago. i chewed and sucked on a clove of garlic for about an hour and it took care of both symptoms.

[merlincove]

That garlic is famed for keeping vampyres away is a perfect mirror to its energy.

Garlic around the house can and does protect from psychic attack, it purifies and fortifies and so will keep negativity at bay.

It's energy can be used physically too, wherein garlic aids to detox the body and rid it of harmfull toxins as well as strengthening the imune system and keeping flu symptoms from taking hold.

Garlic is awesome. It helps circulation too, and can ward off night terrors, bad dreams, nightmares etc. I have proven case studies to this effect :D

Too much tho can have a drastic affect on ones getting rid of toxins and can lead to alarming splatter.

[let it shine]

spicy chillis are really good for you. they have vitamins a, b, c and e and help strengthen the immune system. they also boost serotonin levels in the brain, which leads to a better sense of well-being. plus they taste delicious!

I am of the notion,anything in moderation:)

I am sure chillies have some benefit as long as they are handled carefully;)

I use to eat the heck out of it and people said it made me smell like it, like sweating it out and stuff. I can only handle small bits at a time it burns the crap out of your mouth. Also felt light headed and anxiety from eating a bunch in one go at one time.

[trix]

I love garlic, and i'm not really sure how much I believe this article. I would need to see further proof since garlic has been used for a very, very long time for almost every ailment under the sun. I eat it quite a lot and I am pretty healthy. No flu so far, knock on wood.

I also was reading that garlic in large doses can be a natural treatment for pneumonia. That and spreading a paste on your chest.

I think the moral of the story is, use garlic (if you like it) in moderation, and maybe a little more when detoxing.....but don't go over board.....

But I wonder if baking it reduces some of the bad effects of garlic.......I love to roast garlic bulbs with olive oil, and then spread it on bread.....(drooling now :D)

That's funny.....a few times I've eaten too much of it (sauteed) and I felt the same way....light headed a bit and tummy upset

[dmt head]

I was shocked to hear garlic can be bad for you, though I was told its when you take it raw. It apparantly kills mrsa, so if your in hospital take some and rub it in your bed. I seen it in this thread, lots of info on how garlics used as a pest control for plants. http://www.thegrowreport.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=6668

Onions and garlic are good stuff, very alkaline for the body :)

Dear friends,


I keep looking for something to varify or disprove this but all I find are more websites refering to the same article. They are copying each other, the same info is repeated over and over in different places so right now I wouldn't give it a lot of credibility.

Even the claimed "sulphone hydroxyl" is barely documented, and all google spits out are references to the anti-garlic article, so even "sulphone hydroxyl" could be well made-up by the article.


What I imagine myself is that the sulphur in garlic makes loose some of the toxins in the body that could make one quite uncomfortable.



peace

There's no "scientific" explanation, just a religious interpretation from the Jains and Hari Krishna's who view the onion family as lowly in some sense.
People may try to use scientific methodology to justify such belief systems, but, unless you have a sensitivity to this group, it's crap as usual

[ulaw]

If Garlic and spring onions are so bad, why is it still used in alot of chinese meals today.
Alot of herbalists call garlic the wonder herb, its was used by the ancient egyptians as well as the greeks.
Some may say garlic is bad for you, im guessing they are the people who also dont eat red meat....

It is all a matter of muchness, too much garlic may, may be bad for individuals, on saying that drinking too much water will kill you.

[armoured_amazon]

I love garlic, and i'm not really sure how much I believe this article.

I eat garlic, onions and birds' eye chillis 3-4 times a week.

I think the general rule is everything in moderation. To be honest this source is unreliable in my opinion and needs alot more evidence to stand up.

Yes, you're right about 'everything in moderation'. I do think garlic, onions and chillies are beneficial to health, though.

[ronisron]

I have only ever had beneficial results from eating garlic. It's a natural antibiotic. If you eat a lot of it at one time, it can give you gas and a bit of a cramping feeling. I have to say I believe it's far more benficial than not.

I ate two pickled garlics a few weeks ago and had terrible cramping. I never understood what caused it, but I guess I garlic OD'd!

[jolinemaria]

In Ayurveda garlic is seen as rajasic, it will bring agitation to the mind and body.
It is therefore not recommended as food.

Garlic is seen as a medicine only.
You shouldn't eat medicine as food.
