The Garlic Book: Nature's Powerful Healer
The world can be divided into those who love garlic and those who hate it, but few dispute its medicinal uses, indeed, lovers usually have it on hand and loathers readily accept it as powerful medicine because it tastes so awful. Fulder, ofGinger BookandGinseng Bookfame, now gives garlic the same informative treatment. He shows how and why garlic is useful in handling certain diseases and conditions such as heart disease, stroke, blood clotting, high cholesterol, and many problems caused by bacteria and fungi. Moreover, it has practically no side effects, can be taken for a long time, and helps in the garden against various pests. Fulder also cites some of garlic's roles in society, writes about many garlic products, and tells how they are prepared. Still, Fulder isn't an unreasonable fanatic: he points out that France's garlic-loving King Henry IV had, a contemporary said, "a breath that would fell an ox at twenty paces."William Beatty
