Allicin: AlternativeTreatment for Bacterial, Fungal and Parasitic Infections

As you may already know, common bacteria once cured by prescription antibiotics are becoming increasingly resistant super-bugs. We now face antibiotic resistant forms of MRSA, E-coli, streptococcus, and beyond. These super infections are dangerous and they can, and often do, have deadly consequences.

Arguably, the largest contributing factor to the resistant infections which have evolved is Western or Allopathic Medicine, specifically the prescription antibiotics. It is these same drugs, developed to treat infections, that are responsible for the resistance the bacteria have aquired.

Of equal importance is the overwhelming list of side effects and allergic reactions untold numbers of people, like myself, experience as a result of toxic prescription drugs. Untold, because only about 2% of adverse reactions to prescription drugs people sustain are reported to the FDA making it difficult, if not impossible, to accurately calculate the totality of injuries being caused.

In the face of resistant forms of bacteria, doctors and private individuals looking for answers and effective treatments. And what doctors and individuals are increasingly discovering is garlic, or more aptly put, a component of garlic called Allicin. And the best part is, Allicin is working!

Here's a list of just a few of the bacteria and bacterial conditions Allicin protects against:

-Streptococcus pygenes (like strep throat)
-Staphylococcus aureus (staph infections)
-Listeria monocytogenes
-Escherichia Coli 0157 (e-coli is responsible for 90% or more of all Urinary tract infections)
-Samonella typhimurium
-Clostridium perfringens
-Clostridium difficile
-Helicobacter pylori (suspected to be the cause of uclers)
-Yersinia enteroclitica
-Bacillus subtilus
-Chlamydia
-Cholera
-Campylobacter coli
-Micrococcus
-Drug Resistant MRSA
-And so many more!

**Unlike prescription antibiotics and other drugs, Allicin is safe and non-toxic. Allicin is saving lives and giving people a desperately sought alternative to the barrage of toxic drugs offered by Western Allopathic Medicine.

**Unlike prescription antibiotics, Allicin does not create dangerous super-infections or resistant strains of bacteria.

Allicin is being used right now in hospitals around the world to treat advanced infections that have responded to nothing else.

Allicin treats more than bacterial infections like uti's, MRSA or strep throat. Fungal infections and parasites can also be wiped out by Allicin. Here is a list of some of the parasites and fungi susceptible to Allicin:

-Psoriasis
-Ringworm
-Scabies
-Lice
-Rosacea
-Sinusitis
-Candidasis
-Geotrichum candidum
-Trichophytphyton cerebriforme
-Dandruff
-Cryptosporidium
-Nail fungus
-Athlete's foot
-Giardiasis
-Tapeworm
-Hookworm
-Liver Flukes
-This list can go on and on..

In addition to its anti-bacterial, fungal and parasitic properties, Allicin also provides an enormous boost to the immune system overall which can help the body to combat viruses or other chronic conditions. Here's a brief list of some of the many chronic, viral or other serious conditions people are trying Allicin for:

-AIDS
-Cancer
-Hepatitis
-Influenza A and B
-SARS
-Herpes Simplex Type 1 and 2
-Chicken Pox
-Warts
-Pneumonia
-Variola Virus
-High Cholesterol
-Multiple Sclerosis
-Lyme Disease
-Fibromyalgia
-Raynaud's Disease
-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
-Takayasu's Disease
-The list goes on...

In lay terms Allicin is a component found in garlic, scientifically Allicin is described as diallyl thiosulphinate, allyl sulphide or S-(2-Propenyl) 2-propene-1-sulphinothinate.

The important chemical nature of Allicin is its crucial and reactive molecular makeup; it has a sulphur-sulphur bond that is coupled to an atom of oxygen. It is this highly reactive makeup that lends itself to Allicins antibiotic, anti fungal, anti parasitic and immune system assisting properties.

Allicin works by penetrating the cellular walls of micro-organisms like bacterias and disrupting their biochemical balance and activity. At high enough concentrations the effects of Allicin are lethal to micro-organisms.

As I wrote earlier in this page, I have suffered a lot of damage from prescription antibiotics prescribed to me over and over for the chronic urinary tract infections I suffered from. I was prescribed daily doses of the drug nitrofurantoin AKA Macrobid, later Bactrim, and finally a round of Ciprofloxacin. The Macrobid caused a lot of damage to my arms, specifically the nerves, joints and tendons and caused the beginning multiplication of negative fungus in my digestive system. The Macrobid also weakened my liver and kidneys. After the Macrobid I was prescribed Bactrim, which only furthered the damages I sustained from the Macrobid. And then finally and worst of all, I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin, a highly toxic quinolone antibiotic with the capacity to cross the blood brain barrier, which it did with me. Ciprofloxacin caused a lot of nuerological damage in my brain. Along with the neurological/brain damage, the Cirpofloxacin had an extremely adverse effect my liver in the form of toxic hepatitis. I was very toxic and very sick.

It was nothing short horrifying, and I was only 28 years old.

I began taking Allicin in January of 2010, primarily because I needed non-toxic treatment for the fungal infection I had developed in my digestive system as a result of antibiotic usage. Secondary to that fungal infection, I was taking the Allicin to see if it would really help with the toxic hepatitis I had from the prescription drugs. I also wanted to see if it would actually help the overall damage I sustained to my immune system.

I am thankful to report that Allicin worked and I am cured of the digestive fungal infection and my liver is functioning better, as shown by my regular blood test results for liver function, and I noticed, quite dramatically, that I either never develop or recover many days sooner from colds or other viruses. If I do develop symptoms of viral infections, I am never hit nearly as hard as my fiance is!!

I feel it is very important for me to note that although I had already found a natural cure for the chronic uti's I suffered, (a simple sugar called d-mannose) which was a profound healing journey you can read about here, if you're interested, once I began taking Allicin I was also able to stop taking d-mannose and have not suffered any uti infections since What I mean is, like d-mannose, Allicin worked for me to cure my uti's. Instead of purchasing d-mannose and Allicin, I just buy the Allicin which saves me some expense.

Due to the nature of injuries I have sustained, I take a high dose of Allicin once a day, everyday at 1800mg, and have done so since 2010. Most people looking to treat simpler conditions like a uti, diarrhea, sinusitis, or strep throat will need nowhere near this amount of Allicin, for nowhere near the duration. However, people looking to treat more debilitating conditions like MRSA or drug resistant Clostridium difficile, high doses for longer period may be needed before curing the condition. Everyone has a unique body and circumstances that need to be considered.

There are far too many conditions to list all the proper dosages and durations by which someone should take Allicin, nor would I feel comfortable dispensing that type of instruction to anyone.

I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to find a professional, qualified and experienced holistic health practitioner to work with. At the very least one should get a copy of "Allicin The Heart of Garlic" by Peter Josling, the Director of the Garlic Centre based in Sussex England (You will find a link to this book near the bottom of this page) which details the conditions Allicin is recommended for, (such as I listed in other sections) and how much/how long to take Allicin for each condition.

I'm not a doctor of any kind and I created this page only to help people understand the healing potential of Allicin so they can avoid winding up with the kind of health damage I have as a result of traditional Western Allopathic Medicine.

I admit I didn't consult with anyone regarding my decision to take Allicin. What I did do was my own extensive research into Allicin's healing nature and so made my own decision for how I wanted to help myself by using it. This was my choice for my own health.

According to Peter Josling, Director of the Garlic Centre in Sussex England, Allicin is safe and non toxic for people, children and even animals. According to Josling even people who have an allegry to garlic can tolerate Allicin quite well because it is a specific component that has been separated out of the whole food. Furthermore, according to Josling, Allicin is safe to take with prescription drugs and other supplements.

I myself do not, and will never again, take prescription medication. And I believe, as increasing numbers or other people do, that those drugs will only continue to make us sicker and sicker. When completely non toxic cures such as Allicin exist, it doesn't make sense to me that I should consider trying anything else first. However, this is a completely personal decision individuals must make on their own based on what they think is the best course of action for themselves.

Garlic has been used as a trusted remedy and for maintaining a state of general health for centuries in healing traditions such as Ayurvedic Medicine.

However, garlic alone cannot combat more serious infections of a fungal or bacterial nature, this is because garlic itself does not contain enough concentrated Allicin clove for clove. You would have to eat more garlic than is humanly possible to gain the necessary level of Allicin to reach a therapeutic level required for treating serious conditions.

Regular garlic supplements, such as Garlique or some other variety, are in my opinion a waste of money, especially if you are actually attempting to treat and cure an illness. Why? Regular garlic supplements contain little if any Allicin and the process by which they are made or extracted often destroys what little Allicin may exist either through heating or chemical use.

Please, let me just say that I am in no way affiliated with Allimax, Allimed or the Garlic Institute etc. The recommendations I make here are based purely on the research I have done, my own personal experience, and my desire to help other people regain health or stay healthy if they already are. I cannot comment on the effectiveness of any other Allicin brand than the one that I use; Allimed Stabilized Allicin, or Allimax.

Allimed or Allimax is a concentrated and stabilized Allicin supplement. Allicin its own is reactive and unstable, but scientists have managed to stabilize it and isolate it from garlic into a concentrated form available in capsules, liquids and creams.

I have never had any adverse reaction in any way to Allicin, which is more than I can say about the pharmaceutical drugs I took. I take the highest dose capsules of Allicin available and the only "side effect" I ever personally experienced with Allimed is healing.

I wish I had know about Allicin sooner and saved myself a lot of needless suffering and injury. However, I have the knowledge now to make sure I don't do myself any further harm in the future.

I sincerely hope this information helps other people find a safe path to healing and health, or at the very least, helps people start to consider that they do have choices when it comes to their health and how they choose to proceed in their treatment.
