Yay for natural medicine!

Perspectives on our world and our universe, how it works, what is happening, and why it happens. Whether by a hidden hand or natural laws, we come together to hash it out, and perhaps provide a little bit of education and enlightenment for others. This is a place for civil discussion.

3) Please create a new thread for a new topic, even if you think it might not get a lot of responses. Do not create mega-threads.
4) If you think the subject of a thread is not important enough to merit a post, simply avoid posting in it. If enough people agree, it will fall off the page soon enough.

I am so glad I enjoy eating garlic. It would seem that medical science has finally caught up with hundreds of years of 'home remedies' on this, at least.

Our family puts loads of garlic in our dinners. Bad for your breath, but at least I haven't been sick for a year and a half.

Yes, garlic has so many benefits, it's quite insane.

And it tastes GREAT too! :D

Yeah, nice to see the medical side catching up with the natural side. Now you can use your inside knowledge of garlic to keep you healthy, especially in this season.

Actually, this is the modern trend for European biotechnical studies. Taking old world medical treatments and breaking them down to see what makes them help\hurt us, and see how we can profit from it by the application of modern techniques.

I had the chance to listen to a UCEA sponsored lecture from a Prof Yun Peng Wu on the matter of 'Biotechnology of Traditional Chinese Medicine', and it was rather enlightening in this respect. You'd be surprised how many more equally productive advances are coming from age old treatments.
