I think the experiences I've documented on curezone very clearly outline my position on hostile organisms. Kill them all and fix the environment that allowed them to flourish. In regards to garlic I'm speaking of the sulfur component in garlic which according to what I've read will move mercury around. Some times this is a good thing, some times this is a bad thing. Many factors at play in a situation like that. As well I can think of a lot of herbal combination's that don't involve sulfur.
