\"Page0004<\/a>“Every morning, after we do our yoga, we each take a clove of garlic, chop it up and swallow it whole.” – Sara L. and A. Elizabeth Delaney<\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans spend billions of dollars yearly on heartburn relievers, stomach coaters, hemorrhoidal preparations, eye drops, tranquilizers, sleeping pills. nose drops, decongestants. \u00a0The pharmacy shelves are lined \u00a0with totally worthless items, many of which are expensive. \u00a0Many of these over-the-counter products may also be health risks for the users.<\/p>\n

Whenever I feel that I need something to ease some type of distress, I get a reflexology session or Reiki therapy session and then, if I still feel like I need something, I take one of two \u00a0products: \u00a0aspirin or garlic.<\/p>\n

For me, aspirin is a true miracle drug. \u00a0I doubt seriously if it would pass FDA testing and even get on the market if it were introduced today. \u00a0It’s my drug of choice on most everything. \u00a0For me, if aspirin and\/or reflexology doesn’t help…it’s time to call the physician. \u00a0 I usually give the aspirin and reflexology \u00a01 day’s \u00a0chance before I call her. \u00a0(And, I rarely call her.)<\/p>\n

Aspirin is a respected pain reliever.<\/p>\n

Aspirin is thought by many to prevent heart attacks and strokes.<\/p>\n

Aspirin is used as a fever reducer.<\/p>\n

Aspirin is used to stop aches and inflammation.<\/p>\n

Garlic is the other \u00a0indispensable item in my arsenal. \u00a0Garlic is a true wonder drug which can be eaten raw, cooked, crushed, or chopped. \u00a0It can also be taken as a supplement.<\/p>\n

Like aspirin, scientists aren’t sure what makes it the miracle worker it is. \u00a0What many professionals \u00a0agree on, however, is that garlic is the best tonic out there.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic eaters have less stomach and colon cancer.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic lowers cholesterol<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic lowers blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic helps prevent heart attacks.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic improves brain function.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic acts as an antianxiety drug.<\/p>\n

Tests have shown that garlic has antiaging properties.<\/p>\n

So…if garlic does all these things, how should it be taken? \u00a0Garlic can be taken fresh, powdered, or dried. \u00a0Books and magazine articles claim \u00a0garlic supplements have the same chemicals as fresh garlic and don’t cause bad breath. \u00a0My experience with several different kinds of garlic pills is not that positive. \u00a0I get garlic breath from the pills as well as from eating fresh garlic.<\/p>\n

Cooked garlic is milder than raw and also is probably not as effective as the raw. (That’s my opinion, anyway.)<\/p>\n

So, how much garlic is too much? \u00a0 Any product or food which claims to be therapeutic can be overdosed. \u00a0Eating more than three raw garlic cloves daily has been \u00a0known to cause gastric distress. \u00a0If you’re taking the supplements, limit your intake to what the manufacturers recommend.<\/p>\n
