GARLIC: TOXIC SHOCK! [I am as surprised and shocked as you will be to hear such a respected scientist as Bob Beck telling us that garlic is highly toxic. See Letters this issue for background. Editor] lhe reason garlic is so toxic, the sulphone hydroxyl ion pene- trates the blood-brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poi- son 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 an encephalograph, which we used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?"

Any of you who are organic gar- deners 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 moth- ers who at the turn of the century would buy morphine sulphate in the rugstore and give it to their babies to ut ‘em to sleep.

Take those peo- ple 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 garlics, Kyolic, some of the other products. Very unpopular, but I've got to tell you the truth. (Source: From a lecture by Dr Robert [Bob] C. Beck, DSc., given at the Whole Life Expo, Seattle, WA, USA, in March 1996) 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 biofeed- back equipment and found out that garlic totally desynchronises 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 US SCIENTISTS PUT OESTROGEN & ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ONTO CARCINOGEN LIST he US National Toxicology Program advisory committee recently voted 8-1 that steroidal oestrogen—a type used in postmenopausal treatments and birth con- trol pills—should be listed as a carcinogen because of its associations with endometri- al cancer and breast cancer. Another type of postmenopausal estro- gen, conjugated oestrogen, is already on the federal carcinogen list. Doctors already know about the cancer link, and that's the reason why post- menopausal oestrogen is given together with another synthetic hormone, progestin; the combination lowers the risk of endometrial cancer. The committee of scientists advises the NTP, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, which every two years updates the federal list of proven and suspected can- cer-causing substances. The panel also voted to add ultraviolet me BE a Sela oT LL ake oa SZ aT 6 = NEXUS GARLIC: TOXIC SHOCK! FEBRUARY — MARCH 2001
