A couple weeks ago I read that if you soak raw garlic in honey that it will ferment over a few weeks and make the active compounds in the garlic stronger and more bioavailable. I'm soaking some right now but haven't tried it yet. You have to flip the mason jar upside down every day so that the top of the garlic gets resubmerged, becuase the garlic floats on top of the honey.
Thank you!!!! I have been using oregano oil as an antibiotic, and I will certainly add garlic. And I really appreciate the information on the forms of garlic to be used. I have been planning to roast garlic until soft and use it as a spread - will do this anyway - but will stock up on other forms. Nature is wonderful, isn't it.
Just yesterday, I peeled all my remaining garlic from last year. It was beginning to dry up. I slightly dry roasted (no evoo) it so I could do a new ferment with cabbage, fennel and roasted garlic. This seasons garlic crop is looking fantastic. I lifted one to check the crops progress.This senior is feeling accomplished!
I like eating Raw garlic. Russian penicillin as it’s called. Ukrainians eat an absolute ton of garlic. Cooked sausage, assorted cheeses and sliced raw garlic, add some pickled black olives. That’s my go to snack. Also keeps other people at a safe distance! I’m am sure to add fresh Garlic to just about everything. I very rarely eat sweet dessert dishes. Use dandelion honey as a sweetener usually. But even the 4 cups of dandelion petals required is sweetened with 5 cups of sugar in the mix? So use it sparingly as any sugar. N.Americans consume around 80 lbs of sugar per capita a yr!😬
Really thought-provoking perspective. Numerous antibiotics and other therapeutics trace their origins to plants, fungi, or microorganisms, underscoring the value of studying nature as a source of bioactive molecules and potential drug discovery. At the same time, it’s important for us to remind ourselves that identifying antimicrobial activity in the laboratory is not the same as demonstrating clinical efficacy. Many foods and plant-derived compounds exhibit antibacterial effects under experimental conditions, but factors such as absorption, metabolism, achievable concentrations, safety, and rigorous clinical testing determine whether they become effective treatments in humans. Natural remedies and conventional antibiotics are best viewed as complementary areas of research rather than interchangeable therapies. Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of pharmacology is that many of our greatest medical advances began with careful observation of the natural world. Continuing to explore those biological insights with scientific rigor may lead to the next generation of safe and effective therapies. Thanks for sharing this insightful overview.
As I teach children to value the worms and their many products, and have them convert their own food waste to the microbially dense soil in which the children can raise their own garlic, we emphasise and live the importance of patience. The 7 month wait from garden bed enrichment with their own compost and worm cast and planting, to the observation, worm wee fertilisation and watering through the growth and eventual browning off and subsequent harvesting, plaiting and storing through to the many garlic uses (occurring as the school year ends at Christmas, here in Aust) is a measure for patience and regard in the lives of the young.
Anyone know if really well-cooked garlic has the same benefits? Raw/undercooked garlic (same with onions ... sulfites in general) give(s) me migraines (clearly I'm not digesting it properly.)
Can this protocol be used for a dog? I have a 7 month old puppy and a 8 year old Irish Setter with resistant giardiasis. The puppy came with this at 8 weeks and has spread it. We have treated with Metronidazole, Fenbendazole and Azithromycin about 8 rounds of meds in the last 5 months. They get better while on the drugs however it comes back every time we stop them despite my nonstop sanitation protocols. My vet is a wonderful man but even he is out of answers. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
I have used garlic with all my goldens. I finely chop up a clove or two, let it sit the recommended amount, and mix it in their food (I feed raw). I would not know the dosage to give your guys. I give it for a few weeks before tick season in spring, then a summer break, and restart in the fall for a couple weeks.
I beg to differ. My cats & dog get sprinkling of dehydrated garlic over food every day to keep worms at bay. It is not toxic but sparingly will not harm dogs or cats.

After it’s done soaking for a few weeks, how do you then use the garlic? Thanks
You eat a clove at a time with a spoon and the accompanying honey😋
Thanks 😊
I believe you are supposed to eat one clove with a spoonful of honey
Thanks 😊
Wow, Michael, I just harvested some of my garlic and I'm definitely going to try this.😃👍
If you do an online search for "fermented garlic honey" you can find instructions with the ratio of honey to garlic and everything.
Thanks, I'll have a look.

Whenever us kids got sick, my dad would make us eat raw garlic sliced onto some bread. I came to love it!

Thank you for such a great article!
Thank you for the dosage chart. That info is hard to come by.
Beautiful and brilliant as ever, Sayer.

So if heat destroys allicin, then cooking with garlic or freezing drying it, is not beneficial, right?
When I began taking aged garlic capsules my urine smelled strong. Can you comment on this?
Try Parsley supplement as that combats the sulfur smell.
Thank you, Dan
I just love your natural remedies! Thanks so much for sharing❤️
great article for modern minds warped by the forces of destruction & annihilation of humankind !

Thank you so for taking the time to help. My dogs are a golden and a setter so I will so the same. Blessings Suzanne
Remember to start small. Dr. Karen Becker has quite a few videos on garlic for dogs. Worth watching.
No. I just googled and it said garlic is toxic to dogs. I hope you find an answer for your puppies.
I beg to differ. My cats & dog get sprinkling of dehydrated garlic over food every day to keep worms at bay. It is not toxic but sparingly will not harm dogs or cats.
Thank you.
Google hired their own pHARMa programmers for the AI. Use real research, not pHARMa-land's BS.

Thank you so much for this information. I am buying Saccharomyces boulardii right away. It was incredibly kind of you to take the time to help us.
Paula has just had her 4th generation natural reared puppies go see the pictures and videos. She sells it on her website.

Thank you. This is a wonderful group!

Thank you!
Not sure about puppies. For adult dogs, the amount of raw garlic is dependent upon the size of the dog.

Garlic works vs cancer, too!
