GARLIC has been a tried and trusted natural remedy for thousands of years.
And now researchers have found another use for the pungent bulbs – they kill MRSA.
Patients who have suffered for years with weeping, infected wounds have been cleared after a course of garlic pills and creams, recent trials at the University of East London have shown.
So far more than 250 people have been successfully treated.
Later this year a study detailing the results of the first 52 patients will be published in the journal Advances In Therapy.
