2. German researchers have a solution to cholesterol-clogged blood vessels: garlic. Old people have claimed for centuries that garlic cures many ailments from snake bite to toothache. Now, there is proof that garlic helps to clear the fat accumulating in the blood vessels of those who eat rich food, so reducing the danger of heart attacks. Tests showed that volunteers fed on butter containing 50 grams of garlic oil had a cholesterol level considerably lower than that of a group fed on butter without garlic. In another experiment, patients ate three grams of raw garlic a day. After four weeks their cholesterol level fell markedly. According to the findings from these experiments, garlic not only drives out unwanted fats in blood, but also kills other bacteria, among them those causing diphtheria and tuberculosis. The indications showed that garlic was in some cases more effective than penicillin. To get the full benefit of this wonder herb, it is important that you use fresh garlic. Garlic powder won't work any medicinal miracles, since the plant loses its healing properties when processed.​
