I like the smell of garlic. It is the burning in my mouth that raw garlic causes that I don't like. I guess this is what makes it a potent cure though. I guess it is worth the pain. Many garlic supplements claim to be as good or better than raw garlic, however I have not seen any tests that show them to be as effective for curing infections, or for heavy metal detoxification. Some garlic supplements do well at lowering cholesterol, however I think most here need something potent to fight candida, bacterial pathogens, and parasites. Garlic supplements are also much more expensive than raw garlic.
