Fresh garlic kills prostate cancer in the lab.

"Dr. Shivendra Singh, director of basic research, professor of pharmacology and urology, and leader of the Biochemoprevention Program at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, has been studying diallyl trisulfate, a chemical found in garlic that kills gastric and prostate cancer cells in dish cultures and animal models without affecting healthy cells.

He said he's developing the chemical as a cancer prevention, and soon will seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to conduct human clinical trials on its safety and effectiveness.

Dr. Singh said research proves garlic consumption has beneficial effects on prostate cancer.

Diallyl trisulfate, he said, is just one of many chemicals in garlic that benefits health. Allicin, the chemical released when garlic is chopped, was purported to be the agent that reduced cholesterol.

Garlic's health benefits have been documented since 1400 B.C. Hippocrates, the famed Greek doctor, advocated its use for abnormal growth, which Dr. Singh said probably referred to cancer. Egyptian and Indian cultures also recommended garlic consumption to solve various ailments including growths.

Dr. Singh, who eats a clove of garlic daily, said the evidence is clear: "In terms of cancer, we know which chemical it is, how it works and how it inhibits cancer in animals."

He recommended eating a clove of garlic a day, which can be chopped, microwaved a brief period or mixed with honey."

If you Google "garlic prostate cancer" you will come up with loads of sites that say to use aged garlic to kill prostate cancer.  Don't know if they are just trying to sell their brand of aged garlic or not, but definitely use garlic.
