User Reviews for garlic

I was taken off Statin in Feb. to see if it was causing high CPK. Cholesterol Total was 244 & LDL Cholesterol 156 in April. Have been taking Kyolic aged garlic for 1 month. Cholesterol Total is now 220 & LDL is 132, 24 points less for each! Saw cardiologist today & he said "don't stop, but watch the diet!" I'm thrilled. I only take 1 capsule with breakfast & 1 with dinner, not the 2 that is recommended on the bottle. I have had 1 heart attack requiring stents, and 2 TIAs over the last 3 years. I am soooo happy to be off the Statin. P.S. CPK still over 500, but not caused by the statin. May be Myopathy, but jury is still out.Read More Read Less

I started taking garlic because of leg pain and osteoarthritis. I also have hypertension. I have noticed less pain in my legs and I am sleeping better.

Reading that Nature Made garlic tablets were cold-processed to keep the compounds active until ingestion gave me confidence. Like raw garlic, if caught in the first 2 or 3 hours of symptoms, either completely got rid of cold symptoms by next day or 48 hours. Dosage: 2 tablets every 2 hours. If it was areally strong bug, or I waited too long, would still get the 5-day cold. A badder cold bug gave me two weeks of symptoms, but usually no fever. Symptoms peaked at days 3-5 and then improved rapidly. I usually get bronchitis, so I get garlic tablets to carry so I can start as soon as a sore throat/coughing starts. I have not noticed such a good results with other presumably heat-processed garlic tablets. My first experience with garlic was biting into a clove of elephant garlic at the height of a sore throat, and having the side of my throat which contacted garlic juice stop being sore.Read More Read Less

taking a garlic capsule before a walk, will bring down blood sugar numbers much more than not taking the garlic

Crush fresh garlic. Apply the garlic to a bandaid. Protect healthy skin around the wart from being burnt by the garlic with either Vaseline or a piece of medical tape with a hole cut out for the wart to stick through, then apply the bandaid over the wart. Leave this on for up to 12 hours (overnight may prove to be long enough). If you're first layer of tape is absorbent from the outside in to the skin, you can cover it with another piece of regular tape that will block the garlic juice from getting through the medical tape to protect healthy skin, just don't forget to punch a hole in that layer too before applying the bandaid. The reason you want medical tape as first layer against skin is that it won't injure skin, which can't be guaranteed with a regular plastic tape, not knowing what chemicals were used on the sticky side. After wearing the garlic bandaid for prescribed time, let the wart heal up for several days. If it shows any signs of coming back reapply the crushed garlic. If not, enjoy you're new cleared up skin.

I have used garlic for warts and moles. The moles scratch off and warts shrink. Sister had planters wart and it worked with that also. I have told many people who tried it and all have had great success. You can use the pills and it works the same as the garlic bulb. The moles take a few weeks if you take one pill a day to flake off. Warts take up to a few months depending on how big they are and how often you take it. I took only one tablet per week and it took me a few months for one wart. It will leave the skin with a slightly dark mark and you can feel the change that happened to the skin but there is no bump. Take it in the morning so you do not get heart burn. If you take it at night you will have acid re-flux, at least I do. Most of the people I know who used it at night had problems with heart burn. If you stop taking it for a few months some moles tend to come back but when you use it again they flake off again. The warts so not seem to grow if you stop and will continue to shrink if you start back up again. Works better then burning them off. Read More Read Less

I had waken up one day feeling itchy on my vulvar area. I know it was just a yeast infection because I have had it before when I was pregnant so I tried to ignore it for at least six or seven months until one day it got so bad, I couldn't ignore it anymore. I know I need to do something but I hate to go see the doctor because I don't want to take any antibiotic as I am a believer on natural remedies. So I decided to search online for cures on yeast infections until I come across this blog that shares the same problem as I have. They mentioned the topical effectiveness of fresh garlic but I decided to use the Garlic oil High Concentrate Extract capsule 1000mg. I broke 2 capsules and apply it topically after washing twice a day and orally take one capsule twice a day. I gradually fell better and experienced total relief from itching after around 2 to 3 days but I had also noticed that I felt more energized and more alert than usual. I felt so good overall that I decided to continue taking at least one capsule before bedtime. I also used to have a borderline blood pressure like between 120 to 130 systolic and 80 to 90 diastolic. Recently, my blood pressure is just within normal range. I plan to continue taking the garlic capsule as it seems to have a wholistic effect on me.Read More Read Less

I used garlic supplements (not oil/cream/juice) for adult acne and IT WORKED BETTER than any antibotic I have ever tried. I didn't experience dryness or yeast infections as I have with antibotics. I was actually surprised that I did not see Acne listed under the "Uses" tab.
