@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!

And I'll keep eating garlic in prolific quantities as I have all my life - but I got lots of lung issues in spite of it!
If you have read much of what I write, I'm not a big proponent of huge amounts of supplements - if it is more than your body requires, it just comes out the "other end." 😉How much is too much? If you taste it in your mouth or smell it on your body or breath, and haven't eaten garlic fries, it's more than you need.
And sniffing garlic or many fragrant herbs like rosemary, eucalyptus or wormwood does help clear your sinuses.

You may have seen my post where I mentioned I am now taking kombucha with garlic. I found the brand Synergy at Aldi but you can find it in grocery stores and health food stores. For myself, I prefer to use it in the same way I would take certain medications, small doses. I just take 2oz. a day one time a day and I believe it is helping the 'gut' and elimination. I also take a garlic tablet every few days and zinc tablet. For me as long as I know it is something that is common to cook with or is part of the chemicals in the human body....I feel comfortable taking it after doing as much research as possible on it. However, again....everyone's system is different and what helps one might night help another or be good for them.
