I wasn't claiming onion to be a replacement for raw garlic...just saying it has a lot of benefits too and it tastes a lot better IMO. Red onions always have a lot more of that sulfur bite from my experience.

Kyolic Fermented Garlic Extract still claims to be able to control Candida, even if its not as strong as fresh garlic. It has certain stable sulfur compounds due to the fermentation that are much milder but still very healthy and more beneficial than just dried garlic.

My Grandpap used to crush garlic and drink it in some milk if he felt like he was getting a cold, and it would prevent the cold. He also liked to drink raw egg yolks in his milk and he was very strong. It was Lithuanian folk medicine I believe.
