I have understood garlic to be somewhat of a "Super Food". I can help everything from weight loss to fighting off infection. I know little about the doctor that you mentioned, but most doctors are not researchers and they actually are not very health and nutrition Savvy. There are natural practitioner physicians that specialize in treating ailments through natural methods. If you are uncertain about the use of garlic, you may wish to look up one of these people and ask them. I am sure that they would be happy to speak with you.
