Allicin in garlic

The benefits of garlic extract, particularly Allicin, have been studied for thousands of years. 

The compound has an anti-parasitic effect against a variety of microbes, including Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma brucei, and Clostridium difficile. 

Researchers from King Saud University in Saudi Arabia compared Allicin’s anti-parasitic activity to that of the antibiotic praziquantel in the same study.

Garlic has a sour odor and a very strong taste, and its active compound, allicin, is responsible for its pungent odor. It is composed of sulfur-rich compounds that are highly anti-infective. 

Unlike other drugs, Allicin is produced only when the garlic is crushed or cut, and its volatile compounds are completely destroyed in just an hour after ingesting the herb.

Although garlic does not have the potency of antibiotics, studies have found that it inhibits the growth of many bacteria, including drug-resistant ones. 

Dr. Jaya Prakash and his team analyzed samples of VRE and found that allicin inhibited their growth in the digestive tract. 

In addition, fresh garlic can prevent the spread of VRE to catheters and bladders, where they can cause serious infection.

A large amount of research has also proven that garlic is an immune-potentiator. Recent research suggests that garlic can enhance the activity of natural killer cells and increase the secretion of interleukin. 

Aged garlic increases the activity of natural killer cells by 140% and 156%, respectively. 

For this reason, garlic is an excellent anti-parasitic. It is recommended for use by those who are prone to parasites and other bacterial infections.

For the best results, people should take an allicin supplement in conjunction with their diet. Although garlic supplements contain few health risks, they should be taken with food. 

However, allicin can raise the risk of bleeding, which is why it is advised not to use garlic before surgery. 

A dose of 50 mM of raw garlic is enough for two to four days of in vitro cell culture. However, if you have any underlying health conditions, it is advisable to consult your doctor before taking them.

Side effects of eating raw garlic

Garlic is safe to consume in natural quantities, but consuming large amounts in the form of supplements may result in adverse reactions.

There are a few side effects associated with the use of garlic as a treatment for parasites.

While garlic is safe for consumption when used in natural quantities, consuming large amounts in the form of supplements can cause adverse reactions. 

Eating raw garlic in large quantities can also increase the effectiveness of blood thinners, so it’s best to talk to your doctor before beginning a garlic supplement. 

The safest dose for an adult is one to two cloves of garlic daily. Consuming raw garlic on an empty stomach can cause gas and upset stomach, and may alter the microbiota in the gut.

Other reported benefits of garlic include the fact that it may have antifungal properties. 

Studies on garlic have shown it to have antifungal properties against two types of airborne pathogens, Staphylococcus agalactiae and Trichoderma harzianum. 

A small study published in the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2003 found that garlic extracts might protect against MRSA, a strain of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. 

However, this study was conducted in rodents, so it can’t be said with certainty that these effects would be the same in humans.

While there are other ways of getting rid of parasites, natural measures are usually best. You can also consult your doctor, who can perform several tests to determine the exact nature of your parasites. 

The doctor may order a stool examination to check for signs of inflammation and changes in stool. Some tests may involve blood and X-rays. 

There are also a few side effects of eating raw garlic for parasites.

Anti-inflammatory properties

Studies conducted on mice have shown that raw garlic can significantly reduce parasite load in the intestinal tract. 

Infected mice that ingested garlic showed a significant decrease in Cryptosporidium oocysts and MPO activity. 

In addition, a reduction of Cryptosporidium infection in the intestinal sections of both experimental subgroups was observed. In addition, garlic reduced the growth of the intestinal fungi that cause Cryptosporidium.

The immune-potentiating and parasite-repelling properties of raw garlic have been the subject of much research. 

In addition to its antibiotic and antiviral effects, garlic’s anti-inflammatory and parasitic activity is attributed to its sulfur-containing components and volatile factors. 

One study found that the consumption of fresh garlic increased the secretion of interleukin and natural killer cells. 

It was also observed that people who consumed aged garlic had an increase in the number of killer cells by 140% and 156%, respectively.

In another study, researchers found that garlic had a positive effect on the growth of a group of pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract. 

Fresh garlic contains allicin, which inhibits the growth of VRE. This compound is important because it does not harm the beneficial bacteria in the gut. 

The antimicrobial effects of raw garlic are so significant that it has a high chance of preventing infections caused by these parasites.

Despite its potential to control parasites, the presence of anti-inflammatory agents in raw garlic can cause side effects and are not suitable for all patients. 

In some cases, however, this drug may not be an ideal solution, and it may be better left untreated. While praziquantel is a popular and safe anthelminthic drug, it can cause resistance and lead to relapse of parasites.

Cardiovascular benefits

Many cultures have used garlic for health benefits. Its use was promoted by Hippocrates, the “father of Western medicine.” 

In fact, he recommended the consumption of garlic for respiratory disorders, poor digestion, and parasites. 

In the early Olympics, garlic was fed to athletes for increased stamina and energy. It was even used to treat diarrhea and worm infestation. 

In fact, ancient Chinese medical texts mentioned garlic as a cure for many ailments, including poor digestion and respiratory problems.

In studies, garlic has anti-atherogenic and cardiovascular effects. Its compounds include selenium, vitamin C, and quercetin, a phytochemical with anti-inflammatory properties. 

It also contains manganese, an essential component of antioxidant enzymes. Garlic also reduces blood pressure. High blood pressure causes overstretched arteries, which can damage or scar. 

Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, so eating more garlic can help reduce the risk of developing hypertension.

Studies have also shown that eating garlic reduces inflammation in the stomach and reduces the risk of stomach cancer. 

However, it is unclear whether garlic alone has any effect on the inflammation in the stomach. However, it has many other benefits, including improving immunity and lowering colon cancer risk. 

Early research suggests that garlic may improve liver function and reduce shortness of breath in people with hepatitis and liver disease.

Several studies have shown that eating raw garlic may improve blood flow. The results of one such study showed that garlic can delay hyperthermia-induced platelet aggregation in mouse pial arterioles. 

Moreover, garlic contains a component called ajoene, which inhibits platelet aggregation. This compound inhibits platelet aggregation in mice and rats.

Alternative to conventional anthelmintics

While there is no conclusive evidence to support garlic’s efficacy as an anthelmintic against intestinal worms, some pet owners have reported success using it to reduce the intestinal worm burden.

Garlic has a mild odor, which may be an enticing ingredient for parasites. However, it does have limitations, such as its toxicity. 

While garlic does inhibit egg production and larval development, it has not been studied as an anthelmintic against multiple species. 

Its lack of clinical utility may be limited to those seeking an anthelmintic with broad-spectrum efficacy against a variety of intestinal worms.

The anti-parasite action of garlic is attributed to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Studies have indicated that garlic oil extract can enhance immune response and inhibit parasite reproduction. 

In addition, garlic extract has been found to enhance the anti-inflammatory response, thereby helping the body fight parasites. 

However, these studies have not included humans and are still preliminary. The results of such studies are not yet conclusive, but they are promising.

It is important to note that garlic was used as an antimicrobial in Traditional Chinese Medicine as early as 2000 BC. It has long been used in the world for respiratory and digestive problems, as well as parasitic infections. 

The Egyptians recorded its use as an anthelmintic to treat circulatory problems and abnormal growths (probably abscesses). Ancient cultures used garlic in teas for flu-like symptoms.

Although these remedies have not been proven to be effective, they are beneficial for the body in several ways. The anti-parasite properties of garlic make it a useful complementary remedy for many ailments, including worms. 

Raw garlic can be chopped into various dishes and eaten or mixed with petroleum jelly. A paste made from this mixture should not be applied to hemorrhoids or irritated skin. 

Moreover, raw garlic can help regulate bowel movements.
