This probably won't help you, but I know that 5 drops of most tinctures equals one capsule.

But, how you would break that down into garlic cloves, I have no clue.

One thing....a tincture is very potent.

Someone who can tolerate chewing 6-8 cloves a day is getting a considerable "dose" via digestive tract.

Dosing with any substance, synthetic chemical or any real food/herb, begins with the familiar disclaimer " This is not medical advice ,.... consult a doctor ......" . Cellulitis versus cold are two different beasts as far as how they manifest and what they need for remedy.

There is no conversion or equivalency between raw and tincture. The former, although whole, must navigate the gut whereas the latter - not whole but containing the substances extracted by the alcohol, travels directly from stomach into bloodstream.


Anecdotally, for serious illness / infection such as may cause high fever, Dr. Christopher recommended appying garlic via the feet after first coating bottoms from toes up to ankles with "suitable suspension" - petro jelly - and then slathering the feet bottoms with crushed, fresh garlic . PJ prevents burning the soles while the garlic quickly absorb into the bloodstream; the body uses fever to advantage but should be kept under the danger zone - 102 - 103 - if necessary use cold fomentations around entire body or brief cold bathing if necessary. All fever over 100 demands fluid intake as this fire in the body must not run dry. Drinking clean water or broth until fever breaks is fine.
