Between each contraction the hearth relaxes and the pressure drops, and this is called the “diastolic” pressure. Blood pressure varies a lot from person to person and depends on many factors, including age. The normal reading for an adult should be around 120 (systolic) and 80 (diastolic). Blood pressure goes up in a normal individual when he is subject to stress or physical activity, but in a person with hypertension, blood pressure is elevated even when he is at rest. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Is It Measured?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'times new roman';font-size:130%;"&gt;Your blood pressure is highest when the heart contracts, pumping the blood.

Hypertension is appropriately called "the silent killer" because many people often don’t know they have it until heart problems arise. Usually there are no symptoms until the condition becomes very severe. At that point headache, confusion, nose bleeding, shortness of breath, tingling of hands and feet, and a general feeling of discomfort can be an indication that something is wrong, otherwise most of the times hypertension is discovered only during a routine medical check up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-c121"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Most often hypertension is related to lifestyle. Weight problems, inactivity, stress, and wrong eating habits are all factors that can greatly affect hypertension. Not to mention excess alcohol, too much caffeine, and smoking, all habits with a very adverse effect. But often lifestyle changes are difficult to achieve. Exercising can be hard for many, even if it is a necessary sacrifice. Dieting is also very important, not so much in the sense of depriving yourself of certain types of food, as much as eating the right things. High blood pressure is often directly related to excessive sodium together with reduced potassium levels. A balanced nutrition and especially eating the proper foods can help enormously in controlling your blood pressure level. There is no magic formula but medical research can point us in the right &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/03/index.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of “High blood pressure”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: RU" lang="RU"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/03/high-blood-pressure-symptoms.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;High blood pressure symptoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-1336897290822028909?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Foods high in calcium are milk, fresh cheese, yoghurt, broccoli and cabbages, dry beans, salmon, soybean and tofu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Potassium&lt;/u&gt; helps maintain blood pressure levels. Clinical studies have indicated that consuming food high in potassium helps lower blood pressure. Vegetables high in potassium are, (among others,) tomatoes, potatoes, cantaloupes, bananas, beets, Brussels sprouts, avocados, and oranges.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';color:#009900;"  &gt;Magnesium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt; has the effect of relaxing the blood vessels and allows the blood to flow easier.

Time and again has been demonstrated that sodium intake has a direct effect on blood pressure &lt;span class="normal-c121"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-: 12.0ptfont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;levels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ht-eziZadhA/S5M5VDeMwfI/AAAAAAAACAU/Ko8eTKLbIlI/s1600-h/bp+06.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 203px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 137px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445759408293069298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ht-eziZadhA/S5M5VDeMwfI/AAAAAAAACAU/Ko8eTKLbIlI/s400/bp+06.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The reason why sodium affects blood pressure is still debated, and some researchers think that many people are sensitive to sodium and can build up hypertension after an extended excess of sodium ingestion. How much sodium you need per day can be established only by your physician. Only 500 mg of sodium per day are indispensable in our diet, but sodium restricted diets can range from 1000 mg to 4000 mg depending on the individual needs. Consider that 600 mg of sodium corresponds to 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking soda contains 1000 mg.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Reducing sodium intake is not easy and requires constant attention and a significant effort because sodium is present in food under many different forms: &lt;u&gt;Sodium chloride&lt;/u&gt; is salt, used in cooking, at the table, in canning and in preserving. Table salt is 40% of its weight is sodium; &lt;u&gt;Monosodium glutamate&lt;/u&gt; or MSG, is a seasoning used in bouillons, in restaurant cooking, and in many packaged foods; &lt;u&gt;Sodium bicarbonate&lt;/u&gt; or Baking soda, (and similarly baking powder) is used as a leavener for breads and cakes, sometimes added to vegetables in cooking, and used against indigestion; &lt;u&gt;Sodium nitrite&lt;/u&gt;, is used in cured meats, salame, and sausages. Many sodium compounds such as Sodium sulfite, Sodium hydroxide, Sodium propionate, etc are used in industrially processed food like cheese, breads, cakes, cereals, dried fruits, vegetables, chocolate milks, and ice cream.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Food products can be defined as low sodium on the label by the American Heart Association only if they have less than 141 mg of sodium per serving. When you buy prepackaged food, read the labels and look for sodium (symbol NA) and soda (baking soda or sodium bicarbonate). Go for products that give the least amount of sodium, but base your judgment on the amount you eat, not on the serving size indicated on the package. Consider that most “high-salt” foods like chips, ketchup or salad dressing indicate unrealistic small portion to avoid scaring the customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you take any medication check with your doctor and pharmacist because some drugs, like antacids, have high amount of sodium. Choose fresh food over frozen or canned. Stay away from salty foods such as Anchovies, Bacon, Bouillons, Canned Foods, Cheese, Cold Cuts (Prosciutto, Salame, Baloney, Ham, Sausages), Condiments, Cooking Sauces, Cottage Cheese, Croutons, Cured meat, Gravy, Hot Dogs, Olives, Pickles, Potato chips, Processed fish, Salad Dressings, Salsa, Salted nuts, Snack foods, Soy Sauce, Tortilla chips.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-: EN-USfont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Caution:&lt;/b&gt; A low-sodium diet if difficult to realize, but is also possible to overdo it, with potential undesired consequences. For this reason, if symptoms of high blood pressure persist, don’t keep reducing your salt intake but consult with your physician.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/03/index.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of “High blood pressure”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/03/natural-remedies.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Natural Remedies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-to-eat-and-what-not.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What to eat and what not?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-8570127708063104379?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Researchers have found that people who take potassium-rich diets have a low incidence of hypertension even if they do not control their salt intake. They have also found that people with hypertension do not seem to get much calcium in the form of dairy products. These two essential nutrients seem to help the body secrete excess sodium and are involved in important functions which control the working of the vascular system. Potassium is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, and calcium in dairy products.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Fish oil&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Preliminary studies suggest that fish oil may have a modest effect on high blood pressure.

Spanish Roja is one of my favourites; it is milder and more subtle than many of the others. For some people the hotter the better. For them I might choose Leningrad, which is very pungent. When I have time to let the dressing sit for an hour or so I slice the garlic thinly and let it marinate. The flavour of this dressing changes over time and so I prefer to make it up fresh every day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;When I was testing the recipe for exact quantities I used extra virgin olive oil. I used my garlic press for instant flavour and squished in one large clove of Puslinch. The vinaigrette was so delicious that my husband and I sat down and demolished a plain bowl of iceberg lettuce with this dressing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/index-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/pasta-with-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Pasta with garlic and oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/garlic-soup.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-: minor-latin; mso-bidi-: EN-USfont-family:Calibri;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/contra-indications-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/cabbage-and-garlic-soup.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cabbage and garlic soup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-1212113560240271180?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

When all is incorporated, serve hot or chilled. you'll find it to be delicious either way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/index-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/meal-garlic-recipes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Meal garlic recipes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/contra-indications-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-: minor-latinfont-family:Calibri;font-size:11;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/garlic-dipping-sauce.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic dipping sauce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-4888417715442241848?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is used extensively in dips and dressings for raw and cooked vegetables, and in specialty dishes like pesto, hummus and gazpacho. If you are preparing food for people who may not be garlic lovers, go gently with the raw garlic.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cooking quiets garlic down. Boiling garlic turns the lion into a lamb. Frying garlic transforms the flavour exquisitely, and transfers it to the oil. How much garlic to use is the cook’s aesthetic choice.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;So you use your judgment and experiment. With raw garlic start cautiously and add more to taste. Cooked garlic is more forgiving and so you can start with a little or a lot. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-: major-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Tip - Choosing a Cooking Oil&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-: EN-USfont-family:Calibri;" &gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Most of the common cooking oils - canola, soybean and corn - have a very high probability of containing genetically modified ingredients.

It doesn't take much garlic, just a few cloves from a bulb is plenty for most applications and it's dosage related so you can always increase the amount of garlic if you are fighting a more persistent adversary. A little garlic can go a long way; it can be a matter of how long you let it set after crushing and before adding to water and then using. Garlic water that has set for a few days can be extremely strong smelling and I regard that as a way of estimating that is has increased in potency. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Because of the wide range of tastes and flavors in garlic and the proclivity of the hotter ones to burn tender skin, I think it is smart to start out with the milder ones so as not to burn sensitive internal tissue and I did. Also because of garlic waters tendency to increase in potency with time, I used fairly fresh garlic waters and found them to be very effective in getting results that made me feel better. For me, feeling better is what it’s all about. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic baths and enemas are very important tools in that they are about the only ways to get allicin inside the human body without it going through the chemical changes imposed by the digestive process. Allicin, which is both fat and water-soluble, cannot exist for long in the human body and has a half-life of less than one minute in blood before being changed into other things, and scientists currently do not know what those other things are or how they fit in. Because allicin kills germs differently than standard antibiotics, it is one of the most powerful antibiotics in nature if you can get it into contact with the staph, strep, etc. A garlic-water enema puts it directly in the colon while still in its most potent antibacterial form and it can kill a lot of bacteria in there. For reasons I don't currently understand, garlic does not harm the natural friendly flora of the intestinal tract, but only the invading cells. I hope to find out more about that soon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Water doesn't completely stop sulfenic acid from breaking down into allicin, it just slows it down greatly but the solution continues to increase in allicin the longer it sets and after a few days produces such an intense odor that I would be afraid to use it without diluting it greatly. My suspicion is that it would make a great external application antibiotic. The way garlic continuously changes makes it difficult to prescribe any kind of accurate dosage. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Both of these techniques involve using garlic that has been diluted in water. Good things can happen when you dilute crushed raw garlic in water after it has waited enough time after crushing for an ample amount of allicin to have been formed - at least 15 minutes but an hour or two is better because more allicin will have formed, and it's the allicin we want. Placing crushed raw garlic into water sort of stabilizes allicin and preserves it and changes its half-life from 16 hours in air to 28 days in water, while preserving the allicin and its antibiotic properties. Neat deal, huh? Diluting it in water also dissipates its burning sensation and minimizes it to a faint twinge. You don't have to use fresh garlic, properly prepared garlic powder will work well also, just be sure to let it set a couple of hours after a small amount of water is added to reconstitute the garlic powder before adding it to the bath water. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic water doesn't require refrigeration but it can get pretty pungent after a few days and probably highly antibiotic but smells so bad I would be afraid to use it for any internal use. I would like to see more research into this. I once soaked my feet in three day-old garlic water and it really made me feel good and knocked out the athlete's foot fungus on the right foot and the toenail fungus on the left foot. I will bathe my feet in garlic water about once a month or so and let you know about the toenail fungus as the new toenails grow out. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;When you do a pelvic soak or a body bath in garlic water, the chemicals go right through the skin and into the subcutaneous areas where there is access to local capillaries and lymphatics as well. I don't quite know how to describe it except to say I was feeling very ill for a few weeks and when I tried my garlic bath it made me feel really good right away but that night I had severe night sweats, like sweating out a fever, but by morning I felt better than I had in years and almost all my aches and pains went away and I had vigor, enthusiasm and peppy energy. I got more done that day than I had in weeks. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I know where all that peppy energy came from and that was the high amount of ATPase found in garlic. ATPase is the enzyme that triggers the conversion of ATP into ADP and the little bit of matter left over is converted into energy at the cellular level like a miniature soft warm nuclear reactor. For those who want details, ATP is Adenosine Tri Phosphate and its conversion into Adenosine Di Phosphate is a normal process but garlic supplies more of the enzyme that triggers the process resulting in much greater immediately available energy. By getting this much ATPase into the body, the reactions were body-wide and resulted in much greater energy that is more easily motivated and it just makes you feel better. This characteristic of garlic was important to the Roman army and it required all soldiers to eat garlic daily to give them an advantage over those who did not. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Another use for garlic water is that it can probably deliver usable amounts of allicin to fight bacteria in the stomach. The water that carries the allicin thins out the stomach acids, slowing down the rate at which it neutralizes the allicin and allowing some of it to kill bacteria and also the water, by thinning out the stomach acids, reduces the pain some people feel when they eat raw garlic . Because it is waterborne, some of its compounds can pass through the capillary walls and get into the bloodstream along with the H2O and have some beneficial effects. In the bloodstream garlic compounds won't last long before being pounced upon by the immune system, which will use these compounds to strengthen itself by making antibodies, for example. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Chemically, an interesting thing about garlic water is that it has both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds and they work their way through the body in different way with the water-solubles going via the venous system whereas the fat-solubles enter through and travel via the lymphatic system. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic can interfere with prescription medications, particularly anti-clotting agents, resulting in increased dosages, so if I were on any prescriptions, I would check with my doctor to see if garlic interferes with them and to adjust dosages accordingly. Use garlic wisely - the life you save may be your own. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;If your house has a foul odor, even after you clean the mud out, garlic can actually be used as a house deodorant and fumigant, believe it or not. I have used this method of overcoming the smell of death twice, once when a small animal died in the heater of my car and again when a mouse died in an inaccessible area in a closet and it worked well both times to overcome the foul odors. Break several bulbs into cloves and crush the cloves and leave them all about the place (on saucers or paper plates) and then close it up for the night. When you come back the next day, the garlic will probably be the dominant odor, but that's usually preferable to a mildewy or sewage or rotting smell. Leave in place as long as necessary. Usually as the odor of garlic diminishes over a few days, the other odor is gone, too. If not, treat again, with more garlic if needed. Of course to be truly effective, you have to remove the source of the foul smell or it will continue to produce the offending odor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;There are going to be many thousands of houses with mold problems as a result of Katrina and Rita. Is the mold, stachybotrys species, toxic? Juries have said yes and insurance companies no longer cover it, but there is a new study by Emil J. Bardana, Jr., M.D. of Oregon Health and Science University that casts doubt on that. He says "We know that mold can make people sick if they end up in the foods they eat, but there is little evidence that inhaled environmental mold exposure can cause the serious illnesses that have been attributed to it." It is implied that other physical conditions present in the people involved in the study could explain the symptoms in most cases. Who do you believe? Is it possible that the smell is so bad it makes you think you are sick? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;As pointed out above, garlic's vapors can kill bacteria, I wonder if they can also kill fungi and black mold? I would certainly try to find out. Experts say that the black mold, stachybotrys sp., can be killed with a solution of 9 parts water and one part bleach. I would definitely air the house out if I had just sprayed every nook and cranny in it with bleach water. If you can't get bleach, then crush some raw garlic and let it set a couple of hours to increase the amount of allicin and then dilute it in water and spray it everywhere you would spray with bleach if you had it. It may take multiple treatments and there are going to be some inaccessible places that will be missed. Don't forget the attic and under the house. Is the smell of bleach any more pleasant than the mold? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I am not recommending that people move back into mold-infested houses, what I am saying is that if you already feel you have no other choice and are going to do it anyway, you should take every precaution to protect your health with whatever resources you have on hand. Maybe that week-old garlic water with the strong smell would wipe out some of the fungus? Who knows? Anything is worth a try when times are desperate.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic kills many fungi on contact including athlete's foot fungus, and candida species yeast, also.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic will do nothing to improve the hot muggy days and nights without power or having to return to ancient ways of washing and cooking without modern conveniences. Eating garlic will not repel any mosquitoes, despite what you may have heard elsewhere, although if you're desperate enough not to care about social consequences, rubbing on exposed skin surfaces, oil that has had garlic cooked in it may kill /repel them because that garlicky oil will have large amounts of diallyl disulfide in it and diallyl disulfide is fatal to mosquitoes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Maybe eating it can give you the stamina to persist. The Roman army thought so and it required all its soldiers to eat garlic for strength and stamina. I can say that eating garlic makes you feel good, at least according to one researcher, whose name escapes me, who said "Eating garlic gives the consumer an enhanced sense of well-being." Maybe it will help you get through the depression and anxiety that comes with the aftermath of disaster. Sometimes your best weapon is a positive attitude and garlic can help with that by helping you to feel better to begin with and the better you feel, the less prone you are to depression. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;When I discuss garlic in this article I am referring to fresh garlic that has not been irradiated or de-natured in any way and has not yet sprouted. Unfortunately, this excludes most grocery store garlic as it sprouts too soon to be able to store at room temperature for very long, usually only a week or two. Some grocery store garlic is from China and has been irradiated and will not sprout or grow and irradiated garlic loses pungency (hotness) and is of doubtful benefit since it is no longer alive like normal garlic, it is simply the dead body of a once-living garlic. The enzyme that is the spark of life that causes the chemical reactions that make garlic work is no longer present in irradiated garlic and I do not think it can form the organo-sulfur compounds that make garlic work, although I have seen no research to prove this, specifically, only other research that would imply it. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Homegrown garlic, on the other will usually store 4 to 8 months at room temp. and that makes it the best for emergency use. Homegrown garlic harvests before hurricane season and stores all the way through it, so every family in the hurricane zone should grow some and they will be prepared every year. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dried, wilted or diseased garlic is not good for the uses suggested above, only healthy, firm bulbs will work. Not all garlics will work equally well as different ones have different characteristics and the stronger, longer storing ones are usually best. Properly dehydrated (high room temperature process) garlic will also work, but not quite as well as fresh garlic. Freeze-dried garlic and garlic dehydrated using higher than room temperature heat will not work as their allicin-producing potential has been destroyed. Room temp dehydration preserves the allicin making potential. Grocery store garlic usually doesn't work because most of it has been stored at 32 degrees and upon returning to room temp, it sprouts and rapidly deteriorates. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;Not all types of garlic work equally well, some are better than others for these purposes. Garlics which are hotter when eaten raw have greater pharmacological potential than milder garlics, according to research done by Dr. Larry Lawson and published in his comprehensive treatise, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;The Science and Therapeutic Application of Allium Sativum L. and Related Species&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;, which is the most authoritative book on the subject written by probably the most qualified researcher. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: italic;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-: italicfont-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;In short, in the aftermath of a hurricane, earthquake, flood or similar disaster, if you have raw garlic and know how to use it, you have a better chance of surviving that those who do &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/index-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/contra-indications-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Contra-indications of garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/meal-garlic-recipes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Meal garlic recipes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-413823814857975467?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, garlic is usually cooked when taken as food. During the heating process much of the chemical constituents of garlic such as alliin are destroyed. Typical standardized garlic products contact substances (such as alliin) not found the food garlic, making them more similar to raw garlic. Raw garlic taken in excessive doses can reportedly cause numerous symptoms, such as stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, facial flushing, rapid pulse, and insomnia. Topical garlic can cause skin irritation, blistering, and even third degree burns.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Rats fed up to 2000 mg/kg of aged garlic extract for six months, showed no significant toxicity. Genotoxicity and mutagenicity studies have been negative for aged and fresh garlic. In a chronic toxicity study in rats, long-term treatment (12 months) with standardized garlic powder at a dose equivalent to three times the usual dose, produced no toxic effects in rats. (Fish oil was administered simultaneously.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;In studies, garlic powder has not been associated with serious side effects. For example, an observational study followed 1,997 patients given 300 mg. of garlic powder three times daily over a 16 week period, and found a six percent incidence of nausea, a 1.3 percent incidence of orthostasis, and a 1.1 percent incidence of allergic reactions attributable to garlic. There were also a few reports of bloating, headache, sweating and dizziness.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The most common problem with garlic is the odor. The use of so-called odorless products can alleviate, though not entirely eliminate, this problem. One study suggests that therapeutic levels of odorless garlic produces an offensive garlic smell in 50 percent of patients, perhaps because allicin formed in the digestive tract. This reduces some patient compliance. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For theoretical reasons, garlic is not recommended for patients with brittle diabetes garlic might possess a hypolgycemic effect), semphigus (activated by sulphus-containing compounds), organ transplants (possible activation of immune rejection), or acute rhumatoid arthritis (possible increase in autoimmunity).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;At least one case report associated garlic supplement use with a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma. Based on reports of increased bleeding following surgery, the European Scientific Cooperation on Phytotherapy recommends against using garlic before, during or immediately after surgical procedures. Maximum safe dosages in individuals with severe hepatic or renal disease are not known.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cooked garlic is presumed to be safe in pregnancy and lactation based on its extensive food use. However, maximums safe dosage of standardized garlic extracts in these groups, as well as in young children and individuals with severe live or renal disease, has not been established. There have not been any studies on teratogenicity or embryo toxicity of any form of garlic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the report of increased bleeding following a surgical procedure mentioned above, it might also be wise to avoid garlic supplementation during the period before and after labor and delivery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because garlic appears to possess antithrombotic activity, it should be used with caution in patients on anticoagulants. One report has indicated an increase in bleeding time in two patients taking both warfarin and garlic supplements. It is also conceivable that garlic could interact with other natural substances with anticoagulant effects, such as gingko, policosanol (also used for hypolipidemia), and high-dose vitamin E.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic has been found to reduce plasma concentrations of saquinavir. In addition, two individuals with HIV experienced severe gastrointestinal toxicity from ritonavir after taking garlic supplements&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/index-of-garlic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Index of Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/side-effects.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Side effects&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grandmatold.blogspot.com/2010/02/uses-of-garlic-water.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic water and its uses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8229889965302577043-1353743500555367788?l=grandmatold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This amount can vary, according to the toughness of the feet, more Vaseline for tender feet, less for thicker skin. Many of the health minded readers will be shocked by our using a low-vibration ointment like Vaseline instead of using anhydrous lanolin or some lighter more organic type. The reasoning for this is that the lighter type ointments will penetrate more quickly into the skin, but the Vaseline will hold the garlic on the ointment form. This will also keep the garlic from blistering as easily. (A garlic blister looks bad, but does not hurt and heals back quickly.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Storing Garlic:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Fresh garlic heads will keep for a long time as long as they are stored in a cool dark place. Do not keep them in the fridge or they will start to sprout and become bitter. They can be frozen without ill-effect, or simply stored in a dark cupboard away from moisture. Garlic braids should be hung to prevent crushing any of the cloves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;If you want to store the cloves individually and ready for use, the garlic must be either dried or processed. One good way to freeze prepared garlic is to crush or mince it in a food processor and mix it with a little water, then freeze it in ice cube trays so you can get cubes out as needed. Otherwise it can be frozen in olive oil, or frozen whole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Never EVER store garlic in olive oil at room temperature or leave garlic in oil to sit on the counter. Because garlic is grown in the ground it is frequently contaminated with botulism spores, which are almost impossible to remove. These are harmless in their normal state, but because they are an anaerobic bacteria they will grow if the conditions are 'right' - i.e. submersed in oil and stored at room temperature. The spores can not grow in the cold, so freeze or refrigerate it, or better yet, store the garlic in vodka, wine or vinegar rather than oil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;WARNING:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-: major-fareast;font-family:'Times New Roman';" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Possible Interactions:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Garlic may alter the function of certain prescription medications.
