Obviously the "study" didn't seem to work the way the authors wanted, so apparently for well over 2 years now the study sits somewhere in a file.
Maybe raw garlic really is better than allicin even if Zhang and other say no?

Raw garlic works exceedingly well in my experience. What I did was bought a small dropper container. I made the garlic from scratch, and then I used 5 drops.
The garlic only stayed good for about 2-3 days. I believe the therapeutic dose is prevalent immediately, and I'm lucky I even got 3 days out of it by adding water to the mixture. I added about as much water as I got out of the garlic bulb. I suspect it could get expensive making it daily and using garlic this way.
The allicin is pretty strong. Dr. Zhang's Coptis, HH and Allicin are all quality products. I used them, but I did not see "massive" results, but I also did not stay on them extremely long. Initially I saw a massive Herxheimer reaction on the Coptis and HH.

I was eating raw garlic (only 1-2 cloves daily) in Nov/Dec. At first I noticed that I would get dizzy and feel 'weird' about 30 minutes after eating it.
I was feeling better as well. Then with the holidays and everything I ate way too many sweets and didn't do the garlic as well.
Now I know what was helping me and I've just started everything again.
