Christopher’s Garlic — 575 mg – 100 Vegetarian Capsules

Garlic’s medicinal value is largely in its highly volatile essential
oil, so be careful in its preparation. Anciently it was used in both
healing and nutrition, as it was known to build physical strength and
energy. It is a valuable nervine tonic and is especially useful in
lowering hypertension; laboratory tests have proven this. It equalizes
blood circulation, and it is a useful expectorant for all respiratory
affections and infections.

Garlic has been known by many as to have this special affinity for
the respiratory tract, beneficially influencing bronchial secretions,
though it rapidly diffuses throughout the whole system. The odor is so
readily diffusible that when the juice, oil, or other form is applied
to the soles of the feet, in seconds it is exhaled by the lungs and
detected on the breath.

Garlic stimulates the gastric juices and has active carminative
properties to correct any fermentative and gaseous conditions in the
stomach. It arrests intestinal putrefaction and infection, while
stimulating the healthful growth of the “friendly bacteria.” The garlic
oil is reportedly so popular in Russian medicine that it is referred to
as “Russian penicillin,” and the hospitals and clinics have used the
volatile garlic extracts almost exclusively in the form of vapors and
inhalants.

During World War I garlic was used by many as an antiseptic and
vulnerary and was sensational; wherever there is pus, it is a safe and
certain remedy. Its anthelmintic properties and action is deadly to
round and pin worms. It also appears to be a powerful agent against
tumor formation. Laboratory experiments have shown that it kills both
harmful bacteria and viruses as well.

Unfortunately, it is the fragrant element in the garlic, known as
“allicin,” which contains its antibacterial properties, so it is
difficult to avoid the unpleasant smell. Some products claim to offer
garlic’s medicine without the smell, but we like to use raw garlic or
home prepared garlic so that we know it’s vital. If one is in need of
help to rid themselves the body of this smell, then the use of
chlorophyll is beneficial.

Garlic has also been found to be effective in the treatment of
various conditions such as, respiratory and digestive tracts, urinary
system, and the circulatory system (asthma and the easing of bronchial
secretions, strengthen the immune system, lowering blood sugar, blood
lipids, free cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and blood pressure
as well as raise the high density lipoproteins. Garlic, with all of its
beneficial properties, is truly one of man’s best friends.

All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.
