CELLULITIS

Medical definition

Cellulitis is defined as large-scale inflammation and infection of the connective tissue between adjacent tissues and organs. This is commonly due to bacterial infection by Streptococci species and occasionally by Staphylococci species.

It is important to stop the infection spreading to the bloodstream as this can lead to serious problems that could require hospitalisation.

Treatment regimen
If the infection is mild and manifests itself on the skin then apply allicin powder with a little water to each abrasion, twice daily. Supplement this treatment with at least 720mg allicin powder daily and continue this regimen for 14 days. If you have a long-term infection that has not been touched by successive courses of antibiotics then it is important to double the dose of allicin powder capsules and stay on this increased dose for at least 3 months. When there is a sign of any improvement then it would be possible to reduce the dose down to 180-360mg of allicin powder a day.
CHOLESTEROL

Medical definition

A fat-like material present in the blood and in most tissues. Cholesterol is an important constituent of cell membranes and the precursor to many steroid hormones and bile salts. Western dietary intake of cholesterol is approximately 500-1000mg per day.

Cholesterol is synthesised in the body from acetate, mainly in the liver and blood concentration should be between 100-300mg/dL. Elevated levels of cholesterol are associated with atheroma and need to be controlled.

Treatment regimen
Take 360-720mg of allicin powder a day. Review your progress after 10-12 weeks and if necessary adjust the dose.
POOR BLOOD CIRCULATION

Medical definition

There are many factors that lead to poor blood circulation, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease and heart disease. The results of these are: Angina pectoris (chest pain), limitation of movement, memory loss, stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease and cold hands and feet.

There is evidence that allicin may help to improve circulation in several ways. By making your blood less likely to clot, allicin can reduce blood platelet aggregation. This means that your blood will become slightly thinner and is less likely to form a clot since the platelets are prevented from sticking together. It has also been reported that allicin can reduce blood thickening. In one study, which looked at capillary blood flow in the nail folds of the hand, allicin was found to increase blood flow by 55 per cent. As soon as you take an allicin your blood immediately thins and becomes more mobile. It will return to normal within about three hours once the active metabolites that allicin breaks down into have done their work and have been excreted.

Treatment regimen
Take 180mg to 720mg of allicin powder every day, especially during the winter months.
COLD SORES

Medical definition

Inflammation of the skin or mucus membranes caused by herpes virus and is characterised by a collection of small blisters especially on the lips. Herpes simplex virus (HSV 1) causes the common cold sore and HSV-2 is responsible for genital herpes. Both types can cause either genital herpes or cold sores depending on the site of the initial infection. HSV blisters are contagious through skin-to-skin contact and are recurrent in many people.

Most people who are afflicted with recurrent cold sores know exactly when an attack is coming. They will get a tingle on the lips and if you take action fast enough with allicin liquid you can prevent that tingle from becoming a full-blown painful cold sore. Herpes infection arises as a result of some type of toxic insult, which could be stress, infectious illness, food allergies, drug or alcohol abuse, too much sunlight or cold exposure. A significant number of pharmaceutical drugs can also trigger a reaction including, aspirin, Motrin, Indocin, Clinoril and Cardizem. Procardia and cortisone are known to increase the invasive nature of herpes virus.

Treatment regimen
Apply just 1000mg of allicin powder to the sore spot 2 or 3 times a day and this will prevent it from developing into a serious cold sore. At the same time take 360mg-720mg of allicin powder a day and continue this especially through periods where you might expect to suffer. This protocol should help to prevent the infection from flaring up again.

Testimonial
I have not had any cold sores on my lips since I have started the treatment. One on the tip of my nose and I think that was my husband’s fault, as he had one on his lip. This is the longest time I have experienced being without sore lips, so a thank you very much for all your help.

I can always tell when a cold sore is coming as my lip begins to tingle and I know that if I don’t take action immediately then in the next few days I will get a terribly ugly and painful cold sore. I was given some of your allicin liquid to try and I first applied just a couple of drops when I felt the tingle. To my amazement and delight the expected cold sore did not develop at all. I continued to apply the liquid for a few days and although it has a characteristic smell – this disappeared within minutes of application. Thank you very much for a simple, natural and effective treatment for my cold sores.
