Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (...previous post from the good Doc Ian...) ___________ I answered this somewhat in one of my earlier comms, but to get specific, this is why you need to cut a clove in half lengthwise with the grain. Some people with sensitive digestive systems can't digest through the tough skin of a clove of garlic. You have to cut it in half and expose the entire inside of the clove to the gastric juices. This action will also release the enzymes in the garlic so that you get help from the garlic itself so that it aids in its own digestion. Garlic is acidic in nature (sulphuric acid), but is alkaline ash. When the acid from garlic hit the duodenum this stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile (alkaline / base), and digestion will take place. The Olive Oil also stimulates the gall bladder and the Liver to produce bile. If the garlic is not cut up there is a good chance that the skin will protect it through the stomach and the duodenum and therefore it doesn't get digested and can come out whole as has been witnessed by many. Any time that Garlic is used as a suppository, it should also be cut in half! This way it is assimilated directly into the bowel = very powerful used this way. Sooooooooooo, it is imperative that you cut your garlic in half with the grain. ;-) In Health and Love, Doc Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
