Reply To: Garlic for Coronavirus

rational, I have no problem when people voice their opinion that they are skeptical that garlic “cured” the cough as I originally said. It bothers me that people call sharing my experience “dangerous” or crack a joke that we should tell Trump about it…

Now I feel that not only did it heal my coughing, it also boosted my immune system to fight the virus so that my symptoms did not get worse not prolonged. Of course, the bottom line is that everything is bashert, garlic or no garlic, but b’derech hatevah, I feel the garlic relieved my symptoms, specifically the cough.

Why do you think I did other things the day I took the garlic? I didn’t do anything else. I didn’t test if I have the coronavirus as I was hoping that it will blow over quickly and there’s no medication that can cure it regardless. Although there are people, including many doctors, who have seen patients respond positively to hydroxychloroquine. In any case, for relatively mild symptoms, I believe they don’t even administer the test as they preserve it for those with severe or even critical symptoms.

Now I’m not trying to scientifically prove anything. If I would want to scientifically prove my theories regarding the medicinal properties of garlic and that it heals coronavirus then I’d go work in the medical industry or a pharmaceutical company.

All I’m saying is that I believe that the garlic helped me and it may help others who are having symptoms of the coronavirus, or any virus or disease for that matter. I felt immediate relief of my coughing after ingesting the garlic and it’s a fact that garlic has immune boosting properties which I feel helped my body fight off the virus.

Regardless, garlic eating was my hishtadlus, and with Hashem’s help it seems to have helped. This is my opinion, it is not a scientifically proven fact and I have never claimed it to be. People can try it for themselves and see if it works for them.
