Garlic! Stinky to some and delicious to others. But, the wonders of garlic are numerous, not only a powerful natural therapeutic herb but it's a strong-flavored seasoning for food.
Garlic also helps lower cholesterol and high blood pressure and may help prevent heart attacks by reducing blood clotting.

Since Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers usually have infections more often than the general public, "raw garlic" can help them get over these sooner and may actually reduce inflammation in the body.
Garlic is a potent antibiotic and it's especially active against fungal infections and has "immune-stimulating" properties with antibacterial and antiviral effects.

How great is that?! Personally I use garlic everyday; from my a.m. juicing, as an addition to stir-fry or in salad dressing.

My children say I smell like a 'garlic bulb' sometimes but I say, "there's worse smells around"...and I happen to love the smell.

Interestingly enough, the compound principally responsible for garlic's disease-fighting ability (and pungent smell) is allicin, also found in lesser amounts in onions and other white vegetables. (I love onions too and use them everyday as well.)

Use garlic often, and remember allicin is formed from an inactive precursor compound only after garlic is mashed or chopped and exposed to air for at least a few minutes.

Have a glass of Red wine while you wait with a piece of fruit or unbleached unbromated bread...

"Good Health to You!"
