hv i'd like to know what you think of this
REASON 1: Garlic is toxic. The sulphone hydroyl ion in garlic penetrates the blood-brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poison for higher life-forms and brain cells. It was discovered that people would look clinically dead on an encephalograph after having garlic in a meal 72 hours previously.
REASON 2: Many yoga groups and philosophical teachings caution against the use of garlic and onions because they are known to interfere with meditation.
REASON 3: Biofeedback equipment has shown that garlic desynchronizes your brain waves.
REASON 4: A study at Stanford found that garlic is a poison. You can rub a clove of garlic on your foot, and smell it shortly later on your wrists. So it penetrates the body.
REASON 5: Garlic will kill insects that are eating away at your garden. Why put something in your body that helps with pest control?
REASON 6: Garlic and onions are libido enhancers. Because of it’s stimulating qualities, garlic was never part of Buddhist tradition in China or Japan, whose practitioners felt it would upset one’s spiritual balance. Garlic was never adopted into traditional Japanese cuisine and was shunned by Zen masters.
REASON 7: Garlic may be a natural antibiotic, but it is avoided because it stimulates the central nervous system, the base chakra, and disturbs meditation.
REASON 8: Tsang-Tsze said that garlic and onions contain five different kinds of enzymes which cause “reactions of repulsive breath, extra-foul odour from perspiration and bowel movements, and lead to lewd indulgences, enhance agitations, anxieties and aggressiveness,” especially when eaten raw.
REASON 9: As far back as the 1950s it was known that garlic reduced reaction time by two to three times when consumed by pilots taking flight tests. This is because the toxic effects of garlic desynchronize brain waves.
REASON 10: Onions contain complex sulphur compounds. When you cut into an onion, two chemical reactions take place. First, when a knife cuts through the cells of an onion, its enzymes release a strong odor. Second, the onion releases allicin, a volatile sulfur gas that irritates the eyes and sends one rushing for a tissue. One cannot deny the power of the onion on the olfactory senses.
REASON 11: In the practice of Reiki, we have noticed that garlic and onions are some of the first toxic substances that are expelled from a person’s system along with tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceutical medications. This makes it apparent that alliaceous plants have a negative effect on the human body and should be avoided for health reasons.
