@gigiv This is an interesting and potentially important adjunct therapy, and has been discussed in the group before. I read this paper, and even dived into a few of the cited studies, and it looks like it is still a work in process.
Here are a few of the earlier discussions:

Maybe you would like to read the earlier posts.

We are still lacking read world testing on people, n explanation of how to use the most effective chemical components and dosage guidelines.
As I understand it, just eating garlic has no particular benefit. And although their are people promoting inhalation of allowing, no safe method has been validated.

@sueinmn thank you for those links, I did not know the subject had been discussed before. I guess I should have looked that up before posting.
I started taking one capsule of garlic yesterday and, maybe it is placebo effect, it helped my sinuses greatly and my lungs felt a lot better: I have never been so fast on the elliptical. So I am going to keep taking it, maybe even up it to twice a day, if it is just the placebo effect that is helping, well I take that too.
Have a great day!
