medical use, and it is even mentioned in the Bible. It was widely used in the last two
world wars in hospitals and battlefields to treat infection and prevent gangrene. It is
even nicknamed as the "Russian penicillin." It fell out of favor after the
discovery of penicillin and antibiotics but in the last 20 years there have been thousands
of studies related to Garlic by reputable research organizations isolating the important
nutritional and pharmaceutical properties which may have direct benefits against
hypertension, high cholesterol, heavy metal intoxication, infectious diseases,
free-radical damage, cancer and immune deficiency diseases.
