Garlic: What good effects do you expect from garlic. With all the problems, adding extra things into the mix, especially unproven ones may be a bad idea.

Why...?: Garlic (allium sativum) has antibacterial, antimycotic, and lipid-lowering effects. The product is used in folk medicine for arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, colds/coughs, GI bloating, menstrual cramps, diabetes, arthritis.Too much can lead to stomach complaints and allergic reactions. You are describing end-stage liver disease for which garlic has no benefit. Please don't waste your health!
