Garlic might not just be good for keeping vampires away, but also COVID-19 and the common flu, according to new research being released on Wednesday by The Peter Doherty Institute.
Scientists at Doherty have been researching garlic properties over the past 18 months and have discovered a certain Australian grown garlic variety demonstrates antiviral properties with up to 99.9 per cent efficacy against the viruses which cause COVID-19 and the common flu. The world-first research, commissioned by the Australian Garlic Producers organisation, involved in-vitro testing against the SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza type A viruses, using garlic ingredients extracted from exclusive Australian grown garlic varieties.
The most efficacious garlic varieties and their extracted proprietary garlic ingredient are being commercialised. They will be able to be taken as a soft capsule supplement similar to vitamin C or fish oil and are subject to a recently lodged International Patent.
Dr Julie McAuley, manager of the Doherty’s high containment facility COVID-19 research lab, said the results were striking.

And the FDA will come up with a reason to ban it.
Everything in Australia kills something...................
Sponsored by the Australian Garlic Growers. :) Do you come from a land down under?
Now if only we can get Trump to say the word “garlic” out loud, we can get australian garlic banned in the US with the threat of imprisonment to execution to anybody who thinks of importing it
What specific type of garlic?
It looks promising if they can isolate what in this species of garlic is beneficial and extract it. It would be a blow to big-pharma for sure...
Hey that’s why I left at the age of 6. :)
Australian garlic and Australian steak...a perfect match.

I don’t know about you, but I get all my info about the medical benefits of Australian garlic from studies funded by the Australian Garlic Producers organisation.

Post of the day!
LOL!!!
It is also good for birth control.
A study by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (the Doherty Institute) and farming company Australian Garlic Producers has found that extracts of an as-yet-to-be-named garlic, have the ability to stop the spread of viral cells from SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A in the digestive system.
The potentially flu-busting garlic is from a commercial crop grown in Merbein, near Mildura, in north-western Victoria.
To be fair, it only made the claim about one strain grown near Midura... I understand the skepticism of course.
Farmer Lars Thorenson said, "We always knew that Clarabelle's milk was good for people, but now we have scientific proof. And it does not make your breath and body odor smell bad. /s
All garlic exhibits very powerful antiviral effects in vivo.
It’s why the myth about vampires came about. Heavy garlic eaters are far less likely to get a number of diseases (which were attributed to vampires).
... increase social distancing... except among Italians..
...safer than a damn hospital...
So why did Italians get hit so hard with COVID?
