Why should garlic / लहसुन / લસણ be avoided?

 

 

Source: From a lecture by Dr Robert [Bob] C. Beck, DSc., given at the Whole

Life Expo, Seattle, WA, USA, in March 1996

The reason garlic is so toxic, the sulphone hydroxyl ion penetrates the

blood brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poison for higher

life forms and brain cells.

 

We discovered this much to our horror, when I was the world's largest

manufacturer of ethical EEG biofeedback equipment. We'd have people come

back from lunch that looked clinically dead on the encephalograph, which we

used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" " Well, I went to

an Italian restaurant and there was some garlic in my salad dressing!".

So we had 'em sign things that they won't touch garlic before classes or we

were wasting their time, and money and my time. I guess those of you who are

pilots or have been in flight tests... I was in flight test engineering in

Doc Hallan's group in the 1950's.

 

The flight surgeon would come around every month and remind all of us:

"Don't you dare touch any garlic 72 hours before you fly one of our

airplanes, because it'll double or triple your reaction time. You're three

times slower than you would be if you'd [not] had a few drops of garlic."

Well, we didn't know why for 20 years later, until I owned the Alpha-Metrics

Corporation. We were building biofeedback equipment and found out that

garlic totally desynchronizes your brain waves.

 

So I funded a study at Stanford and, sure enough, they found that it's a

poison. You can rub a clove of garlic on your foot - on the sole of your

foot - and you can smell it shortly later on your wrists. So it penetrates

the body. This is why DMSO smells a lot like garlic: that sulphone hydroxyl

ion penetrates all the barriers including the corpus callosum in the brain.

 

Any of you who are organic gardeners know that if you don't want to use DDT,

garlic will kill anything in the way of insects.

 

Now, most people have heard most of their lives that garlic is good for you,

and we put those people in the same class of ignorance as the mothers who at

the turn of the century would buy morphine sulphate in the drugstore and

give it to their babies to put 'em to sleep.

 

If you have any patients who have low-grade headaches or attention deficit

[disorder], they can't quite focus on the computer in the afternoon, just do

an experiment - you owe it to yourselves.

 

Take those people off garlic and see how much better they get, very,very

shortly. And then let them eat a little garlic after about three weeks.

They'll say: "My God, I had no idea that this was the cause of our

problems." And this includes the de-skunked garlic's, Kyolic, some of the

other products. Very unpopular, but I've got to tell you the truth.

 

Bob Beck also found in his research on human brain function in the 1980's

that garlic has a detrimental effect on the brain and researching this

further he learned that many yoga groups and philosophical teachings caution

against the use of garlic and onions as they are known to interfere with

meditation practices. Some aware individuals have actually described

themselves as experiencing brain fog after having garlic.

Śrīla Prabhupāda: If one simply approaches the holy name with reverence and allows the holy name to enter through his ears into his heart, and especially if he accepts the divine name as his very life and soul, he can enter the deepest, most profound, most sublime of all spiritual mysteries.
