There Is An Old Adage, "An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away" But In Light Of Modern Research Findings, That Might Be Better Revised To, "A Clove A Day Keeps The Doctor Away" The Clove, Of Course Is From The Lowly Garlic Bulb, And A Daily Dose May Well Keep Your Visits To The Doctor At A Minimum. With A Medical History Spanning Thousands Of Years, Garlic'S Reputation Is Well Known, So The Question Is No Longer Whether To Take Garlic, But "How" To Take Garlic.In The Past, Those Desiring The Health Benefits Of Garlic Merely Cracked A Clove From A Bulb And Ate It Raw, Giving Notice To The World That You Were Healthy, If Not Socially Desirable.

Steam Distilled Oils Can Lose Much Of Their Efficacy, And Aged Garlic Extracts Are Allicin-Free
