In reply to Garlic for mood)))orthomolecular, posted by Lao Tzu on May 26, 2010, at 21:36:16
In my hundreds of trials of meds, herbs, and supplements, I think garlic has to be one of the top 2 or 3 for rapid assistance in mood. I suspect it is due to a combination of various mechanisms, includingd antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasite, helps to excrete toxic metals, helps to regulate immune function, assists liver function, and a multitude of things. All of these have a direct impact on mood by removing the stuff within us that clogs receptors, disrupts enzymes, contaminates neurotransmitters, on and on.
The smelly stuff is the good stuff. The best ones are brands that are enteric coated tablets, so they unleash their power right in the intestines instead of being chewed up in the stomach.
The best I've tried is made by Dr Zhang, the chinese lyme MD. It was not however enteric. Searching for an enteric, I noticed NOW brands has one. They are a good brand.
