Garlic

"Garlic, as well as onions, contains compounds that slow or prevent tumor growth. The National Cancer Institute says a strong link exists between garlic and a reduced risk of prostate and stomach cancer" (Lifescope Winter 2006)

Garlic is one of the best-known and widely used herbal medicines. Garlic is a strong weapon against infection and a natural antibiotic. It has been found to reduce cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.

Garlic contains vitamins A, B1, B2 and C, together with a variety of agents that have anti-microbial, anti-clotting, and cholesterol-changing effects. People therefore take garlic to prevent colds and flu, to relieve coughs and bronchitis, protect against sickness and reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
