HOW ALLICIN LAUNCHES WARFARE ON GERMSAllicin and its breakdown products don’t just inhibit growth; they launch a multi-pronged, full-scale chemical assault against pathogens. This multi-mechanism attack is precisely why pathogens find it incredibly difficult to develop resistance against garlic.🛡️ Protein Deactivation: Allicin is highly reactive with the sulfhydryl groups of various essential proteins and enzymes inside bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It essentially “clogs” the vital cellular machinery that these pathogens need to metabolize, function, and reproduce, leading swiftly to their destruction.🧬 DNA and RNA Disruption: Research indicates that garlic’s organosulfur compounds actively interfere with the synthesis of DNA and RNA. This cripples the pathogen’s ability to replicate, halting the infection from spreading and preventing the passing on of genetic material.🦠 Membrane Damage: The oil-soluble nature of many oficin derivatives allows them to effortlessly penetrate the protective fatty layers of the bacterial cell membrane, causing severe structural and functional damage that leads to cell lysis (rupture).📈 BROAD SPECTRUM REACH: The Definitive Antimicrobial ScopeThe numerical claim of “14 bacteria and 13 infections” is a helpful popular tool, but the scientific literature confirms a scope of activity so vast it encompasses bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites alike.🔬 TARGETING BACTERIA: Gram Positive and Gram NegativeGarlic compounds have been extensively studied in vitro (in the lab) and have demonstrated powerful efficacy against a diverse range of bacterial strains, covering both major classifications.Gram Positive Bacteria:
