Garlic is remarkable for the number of medicinal properties it contains, including 17 amino acids, at least 33 known sulphur compounds, eight minerals and the vitamins A, B1 and C. It is interesting to note that garlic DOES NOT contain the wonder compound that it is commonly known for: allicin. How can this be?
Researchers have found that a perfect clove of garlic doesn't contain allicin, but once it is smashed, cut or ruptured, a phytochemical reaction occurs to FORM allicin.
The high sulfur content in garlic activates the enzymes responsible for flushing out toxins from the liver. It is capable of killing viruses, bacteria and fungi. The sulphur in garlic carries oxygen in the body directly to infected areas. Germs cannot live in a body with a good supply of oxygen, therefore, infections are cleared quickly.
The outstanding medicinal properties in garlic have been proven to help protect the liver from toxic damage, aid in the detoxification process and have many health benefits. When combined with cilantro, they work synergistically in detoxifying heavy metals from the system.
As garlic is a very POTENT detoxifier, just one or two cloves in your juice daily helps to keep a healthy intestinal flora.
