"but this does not make it necessary to abandon asicnece and believe that garlic cures parasites..... when one is still ill with this and that."

Abandon science? Lol

Abstract
Allicin, one of the active principles of freshly crushed garlic homogenates, has a variety of antimicrobial activities. Allicin in its pure form was found to exhibit i) antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including multidrug-resistant enterotoxicogenic strains of Escherichia coli; ii) antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans; iii) antiparasitic activity, INCLUDING SOME MAJOR HUMAN INTESTINAL PROTOZOAN parasites SUCH AS ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTIC and Giardia lamblia; and iv) antiviral activity. The main antimicrobial effect of allicin is due to its chemical reaction with thiol groups of various enzymes, e.g. alcohol dehydrogenase, thioredoxin reductase, and RNA polymerase, which can affect essential metabolism of cysteine proteinase activity involved in the virulence of E. histolytic.

Is that scientific enough for you? Read again: The main antimicrobial effect of allicin is due to its chemical reaction with thiol groups of various enzymes, e.g. alcohol dehydrogenase, thioredoxin reductase, and RNA polymerase, which can affect essential metabolism of cysteine proteinase activity involved in the virulence of E. histolytic.

You are kicking and screaming in the wrong direction. You are mad because your doctors did stool tests to test for your parasites but claim that a mucus test is necessary, and that those doctors aren't listening to studies. And yet here you are behaving with the EXACT same dogmatic mindset, thinking how unscientific it is to think garlic kills parasites... when it is clearly evident that it has been firmly scientifically established.

You do not have the right to ever use the word "science" again.
