Antimycobacterial activity of garlic Helpful in addition to treatment?

Are you using allicin/garlic topically or as a vapor?
I haven't found any papers about topical application having an antibacterial effect on the lungs, have you?
I saw in another post that you were trying to avoid the allicin passing through the liver, but topical application goes to the blood vessels, then to the circulatory system, which passes through the liver, before it would get to your lungs, right?

topically. the allicin would first enter the veinous system, then into the lungs, then eventually spread among the general arterial system. i have not seen any main stream papers on it, though topical oils in general have been used in "alternative medicine" for ages. this would be a way to avoid liver "first pass" metabolism.
