Garlic - a natural antibiotic, antioxidant and lead detoxifier

Garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, antiseptic and antimicrobial, albeit in broad spectrum rather than targeted. The bacteria in the body do not appear to evolve resistance to the garlic. This means that its positive health benefits can continue over time.
 
Some studies have shown that garlic can have a powerful antioxidant effect to help protect the body against damaging free radicals. It can also control our blood pressure cholesterol levels.
 
In addition, research found that garlic may be as effective at removing lead from the body as a standard chelation drug.
 
In a study published in the journal Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, researchers compared the effects of garlic with the heavy-metal chelating drug D-penicilllamine and found that garlic may have chelating capabilities comparable to D-penicillamine while revealing less side effects but more clinical improvement than D-penicillamine.
