Re: Garlic
Maggie, the whole point of being alive is to learn and grow. I know sometimes we come up againts new information that challenges the things we've always believed, but this is ALWAYS a good thing. It gives us options. I'll let the words of James Golik, another smart fella:-), explain better...
I NEVER consume any GARLIC! Why you ask? I bet you thought it was good for you, right? Well, guess again. Stanford University conducted a research project on the effects of garlic on the human system. The study was privately funded by Dr. Robert Beck. The results (yet to be published) were conclusive: GARLIC IS A SPECIFIC POISON FOR HIGHER LIFE FORMS. It totally de-synchronizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain, rendering you brain dead. It decreases your reaction time 2 to 3 times. You can rub a clove of garlic on your ankle and smell it shortly afterward on your wrist. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier. This is why most pilots are warned never to eat garlic or Italian food before flying. Garlic is strictly forbidden in all ashrams and monasteries in India, Tibet and Nepal. I have been told by herbalists that if garlic is so bad for you, why did the American Indians use it? THEY USED IT AS A MEDICINE, NOT A FOOD! Yes, it may be taken under certain specific circumstances for specific conditions, but to consume it daily as a supplement or food is reckless stupidity. If you are taking garlic now, get off it for a few weeks and see how much better you feel and how much clearer you can think. I know many herbalists and nutritionists won't agree with this, but I put them in the same category as the mothers at the turn-of-the-century who bought morphine sulfate to give to their babies to put them to sleep. After the Harrison Act, that was outlawed. Someday garlic will be outlawed too. Even the Church of Scientology forbids garlic, garlic salt, or any salad dressing or other food products containing garlic aboard their ships, the Diana and the Apollo because they know how stupid it makes the people. This includes all garlic supplements including Kyolic, and the de-skunked varieties. Be sure to check the labels of foods in the supermarket, as most contain garlic. Garlic is poison, eat it at YOUR OWN RISK!
