Garlic is a delicious aromatic that has been long used as a flavor enhancer for many dishes. For thousands of years, it has also been used as a medicine by Chinese, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians. Eating garlic has been linked to reduce the risk or help prevent the major causes of death worldwide – infections, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Garlic is closely related to onions, leeks, and shallots. Each segment of a garlic bulb is called clove.
Found in garlic is a high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds. Its main active components are thiosulfinates, which include allicin. Aside from this, it also has high levels of sulfur, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, and saponins as well as vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, selenium, manganese, magnesium, and B complex.
There are more than 130 studies supporting over 150 beneficial health effects of garlic. Most of these studies were done on raw garlic and a few were made on fermented garlic.
When garlic is consumed raw, it can be a bit spicy for the taste and cause a pungent breath odor. That is where fermented garlic can help you.

Stunning research confirms Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines integrate into the human genome, permanently altering DNA in just 6 hours!
Studies on human liver cells show reverse transcription, where vaccine mRNA converts to DNA and embeds in your genetic structure.
Swedish researchers verified this process, sparking fears of long-term risks like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and hereditary effects.
“The genetic code in the human body is changed,” warns cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, emphasizing potential cellular disruptions.
Another study found vaccine-derived DNA in genomic sequences, hinting at widespread, unpredictable changes.
Lipid nanoparticles in the vaccines may worsen this, spreading mRNA to organs like the liver, ovaries, and spleen.
“We’re staring at a potential health catastrophe,” one scientist stated, calling for urgent investigation.
While authorities dismiss concerns, independent experts demand answers.
Many of us cautioned against the dangers of mRNA integrating into the human genome and urged a ban on mRNA technology, but our warnings were ignored.
I have been working on a solution to this problem: https://www.healthelicious.com.au/NutriBlast_DNA_Heart_Mitochondria.html
Magnesium is a critical mineral involved in over 300 body functions and is essential for overall health. Deficiencies are on the rise due to soil depletion and chronic stress. Low levels are associated with numerous medical conditions. Most adults and some children could benefit from a magnesium supplement. The key is choosing which magnesium type to take for your unique needs.
In the past I have shared a post or two (the above included) on the value of magnesium, highlighting the facts that it is a factor in over 300 functions in the body and that more than half of us are deficient but it does not show up on standard blood tests.
I just saw yet another post on it which varied from those I had seen previously so I combined all three posts and asked Grok to scour the internet for evidence about these claims.
This is the response I received.
TYPES OF MAGNESIUM:
| Magnesium Type | Claimed Benefits | Evidence Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium Carbonate | Bloated belly | Limited evidence. Magnesium carbonate acts as an antacid, neutralizing stomach acid, which may indirectly reduce bloating from indigestion. Studies focus on its laxative effects for constipation rather than bloating specifically. No trials directly confirm bloating relief as a primary benefit. |
| Magnesium Chloride | Well absorbed by skin/digestive tract; used in lotions/ointments; allergies/detox/histamines/inflammation/MCAS/muscles | Moderate evidence for absorption and muscle benefits. It’s well-absorbed orally, but transdermal absorption (lotions/ointments) is debated—studies show minimal skin uptake compared to oral forms. For allergies/histamines/MCAS, limited trials suggest magnesium stabilizes mast cells, potentially reducing allergic responses or inflammation, but human data is sparse. Muscle relaxation is supported by small studies, particularly for cramps, but detox claims lack evidence and are anecdotal. |
| Magnesium Citrate | Naturally found in citrus fruits; constipation/drooping breasts/oxalate and parasite dumping | Strong evidence for constipation: It’s an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines, with multiple trials confirming efficacy in adults and children. The claim of being “naturally found in citrus fruits” is misleading; citrate is in citrus, but magnesium citrate is a synthesized supplement. No evidence supports “drooping breasts”—this is baseless. Limited data on oxalates suggests it may reduce absorption in deficient states, but “parasite dumping” lacks any scientific backing. |
| Magnesium Glycinate | Naturally occurring in protein-rich foods; mood/pain/PMS/relaxation/sleep | Good evidence for relaxation/sleep/PMS. It enhances GABA activity, with trials showing improved sleep quality and reduced PMS symptoms (e.g., cramps, mood swings). Pain relief is supported for fibromyalgia and migraines, though results vary. The claim of “naturally occurring in protein-rich foods” is imprecise; magnesium is in such foods, but glycinate is a chelated supplement form. Mood benefits are plausible but less studied. |
| Magnesium L-Threonate | Brain/cognition/mood | Promising evidence. Studies show it crosses the blood-brain barrier, improving memory and cognition in animal models and human trials, particularly in older adults with cognitive decline. Mood benefits are supported in preclinical studies, but human data is limited. Often marketed as “Magnesium Threonate” (same compound). |
| Magnesium Lactate | Food preservative/flavoring agent; gentle on digestive tract; anxiety/nervousness/stress | Limited evidence. It’s used in food preservation and is well-tolerated orally, but no specific trials confirm benefits for anxiety, nervousness, or stress. General magnesium studies suggest calming effects via GABA, but lactate-specific data is scarce. Its gentle absorption may benefit those sensitive to other forms, as claimed, but this is not well-studied. |
| Magnesium Malate | Occurs naturally in fruit/wine; well absorbed; fibromyalgia/muscle performance/stiffness/tiredness/pain | Moderate evidence. It’s well-absorbed and may raise magnesium levels effectively. Trials support reduced pain/tenderness in fibromyalgia and improved muscle recovery/fatigue via energy production. The claim of occurring in fruit/wine is partially true; malic acid is natural, but magnesium malate is synthesized. Muscle stiffness and pain relief are plausible based on small studies. |
| Magnesium Orotate | Helps keep DNA healthy; heart health/vaginal odour | Some evidence for heart health. Animal and early human studies suggest it supports cardiac energy metabolism and may reduce heart failure risk, but large trials are lacking. The “DNA health” claim likely refers to its role in nucleotide synthesis, but evidence is speculative. No data supports vaginal odor claims—likely pseudoscientific. |
| Magnesium Oxide | Heartburn/indigestion/constipation | Strong evidence. It’s a proven antacid for heartburn/indigestion and an osmotic laxative for constipation, backed by multiple trials. However, it’s poorly absorbed for systemic magnesium supplementation, limiting other uses. |
| Magnesium Sulfate | Epsom salts; not best oral form; used in baths for sore muscles/relieve stress/detox/drainage/recovery/relaxation/pain/inflammation | Good evidence for pain/relaxation. Epsom salt baths reduce muscle pain and inflammation via some skin absorption, supported by studies. IV magnesium sulfate treats acute pain/stress in clinical settings. Oral absorption is poor, as noted. Detox and “drainage” claims are anecdotal, with no robust evidence. |
| Magnesium Taurate | Blood pressure/blood sugar/cardiovascular vessels/heart/muscle cramps | Promising evidence. Studies show it lowers blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, and supports cardiovascular health in animal and small human trials. Muscle cramp relief is plausible via muscle relaxation, but human data is limited. |
| Magnesium Threonate | Easily absorbed; increases brain cell magnesium; mood/age-related memory loss/anxiety/focus/stress | Promising evidence (same as L-Threonate). Its high bioavailability and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier are supported by studies showing improved memory/cognition in older adults and mood in preclinical models. Anxiety/stress benefits are plausible but lack large human trials. Age-related memory loss is a key research focus with positive results. |
Steroids are named after the steroid cholesterol which was first described in gall stones from Ancient Greek chole- ‘bile’ and stereos ‘solid’.
Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes that alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Examples include the lipid cholesterol, sex hormones estradiol and testosterone, anabolic steroids, and the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid drug dexamethasone.
Hundreds of steroids are found in fungi, plants, and animals. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).
Sterols: any of a group of naturally occurring unsaturated steroid alcohols, typically waxy solids.

Did a search and cannot find where RFK Jr was quoted ad saying, “Children are 37 times more likely to die from Gardasil than to die from cervical cancer.” but given all I have heard on it, would not surprise me.
