In a day or two, you’ll start feeling better—and you won’t risk your pregnancy or become a breeding ground for superbugs. Unlike prescription antibiotics, garlic has been used for thousands of years to wipe out annoying infections without detriment. Vampires, the common cold, strep throat, influenza, and even tuberculosis have gone toe-to-toe against garlic and lost.

She was sold. Garlic can fight a lot more than that, but I was hesitant to explain that due to the bio-babble it would require.

In our house, I’m not allowed to use infectious bio-babble commonly used by physicians and drug reps. That’s why I didn’t tell my wife that garlic has been shown to fight off potent infections like Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphyloccus aureas, Methicillin Resistant Staphyloccus aureas, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Mycobacteriu, Helicobacter, and many more. Garlic’s far-reaching success at warding off an array of biological nasties with hard-to-pronounce names reflects its potency. But I wasn’t going there, at least not around my daughter.

Most bio-babble sounds so scary that people instantly line up at the pharmaceutical trough when they hear it. The verbal camouflage successfully tugs at people’s emotions, pulling them closer to a corporate drug sale—antibiotic or vaccine. It’s a bad habit, and the medical community is addicted to it.

Since we don’t want our kids using medical-speak to hoodwink the masses into prescription drug addiction, bio-babble isn’t allowed. Occasional cursing is fine though. Other parents should follow our lead: mommas don’t let your babies grow up to be drug reps.

As the hours passed, my wife’s infection began to subside. Her immune system was being revved almost instantly by garlic.

An effective immune booster works by revving up your immunity or working directly as an antibiotic or antiviral. Garlic does both. Remember adaptive immunity? It’s your internal fire wall that works by employing an army of lymphocytes. I told you the more you have, the better. Thanks to garlic, you can have a lot. Plus, the stinky molecules act as direct germ killers, but unlike prescription antibiotics, they won’t destroy healthy bacteria.

Only in the last decade or so has modern medicine begun testing garlic’s immune-boosting properties. This is usually done by studying the time garlic users need to recover from infection and comparing that to recovery time for nongarlic users. Garlic use has been shown to shorten recovery times by half. Also, studies monitoring the production of lymphocytes in response to garlic show that it greatly enhances production. “Currently, available data strongly suggest that garlic may be a promising candidate as an immune modifier that maintains the homeostasis of immune function,” researchers commented in a study published in the Journal of Nutrition.96

Prescription antibiotics don’t rev your immune system. They work against it. Taking the shotgun approach, they destroy healthy bacteria in your gut that play an integral role in innate immunity by disarming foreign invaders. Without the healthy bacteria, you become an infectious stomping ground.
