Garlic possesses the ability to stimulate the immune system8 by stimulating the activity of macrophages, which are white blood cells that engulf the foreign organisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and yeast9 and increasing the activity of the T-helper cells, which are immune cells that are central to the activity of the entire immune system. Garlic is particularly effective in treating upper respiratory viral infections due to its ability to clear mucous from the lungs and is generally regarded as a preventative measure for colds, flu and other infectious diseases.
Subjects receiving garlic extract at 1800 mg a day for three weeks showed a 155.5% increase in the immune cell activity that kills invaders and cancer cells10 and recent studies show that powdered garlic extract contains substances that kill Heliobacter pylori, a virulent organism that grows in the stomach and is thought to be associated with stomach ulcers and stomach cancer11.
Although Garlic directly attacks bacteria and viruses, it also stimulates the body's natural defenses against foreign invaders and fights bacteria like an antibiotic. Garlic is reported to be more effective than penicillin against typhus disease, and works well against strep and staph bacteria, and the organisms responsible for cholera, dysentery and enteritis. It can be taken with conventional antibiotics to support their action and ward off side effects.
