Sermon #047 - Numbers 11 - GARLIC is God's natural antibiotic, anti-cancer medicine...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams of Abundance.Church.
And today's topic is garlic, which as far as I know, is only mentioned one place in the Bible, but it probably deserves a lot more mention because it is one of the most important herbs that exists in our modern world.
It's one of the most easily grown herbs and it's a way to grow your own natural antibiotics, also a multifaceted antibiotic A multi-layered system that avoids antibiotic resistance because garlic attacks microbes from dozens of different chemical strategies, you could say.
It's not just one isolated chemical.
It is dozens of chemical compounds acting in concert.
Now, let's back up before I get too excited to hear about garlic.
Woo.
You know how I get, uh, I get really energized about this topic because let's back up and look at the miracle here.
So because of the blessings of our creator, we live in a realm where you can put a, let's just say a garlic bulb.
You can put it in the ground, in the dirt, provide it with a little bit of water.
And then it starts to grow, it sprouts out, it creates leaves, the leaves collect sunlight, the roots collect water, and the leaves also collect carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
And then from these ingredients, hydrogen from water, carbon and oxygen from the air, plus in the case of garlic, it will collect atoms of sulfur, Because, you know, sulfur is a key component in garlic compounds.
It will collect sulfur from the soil, and then it will rearrange these elements into powerful medicinal molecules for which you need no prescription, no doctor's permission.
You need not pay any royalty to anyone.
You don't have to wait in line at the pharmacy.
And it also tastes great, you know, unlike the pharmaceutical fake medicines, the shadow medicine, as I call it, that's synthesized by man and restricted and controlled and marked up in price like 65,000% over the cost of production.
That's big pharma, shadow medicine.
In the world of God's medicine, you grow the medicine for free and it happens in your own yard.
Like, it's God's miracles are working in your backyard!
You know, sometimes people say, well, how do you know God exists?
Have you ever seen any miracles?
I have seen so many miracles.
Every time I sprout seeds, I'm looking at miracles.
Every time I grow a plant, I'm looking at miracles.
I was just walking out, checking on my mulberry trees, you know, because I did a sermon on black mulberries.
You know how powerful mulberries are.
They have anti-cancer nutrients, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective nutrients, anti-diabetic, and so on, just a nutritional powerhouse.
I was checking on the orchard and I couldn't believe one of the mulberry trees seemingly had doubled in size since I saw it last, just a few days ago.
I'm like, whoa, this thing is growing like crazy.
Of course, I didn't have to expend any effort at all for that to happen.
It just doubled its size.
Why?
Miracles, miracles of God.
And then some people, you know, the skeptics, well that's not a miracle, that's botany, that's, you know, botanical physiology.
And that's photosynthesis, creating plant sugars.
And of course, my response is, and who created all that chemistry?
Who created the laws of chemistry?
Who created the photosynthesis?
Who created the laws of physics, the atomic elements?
Who created the flow of time and the interaction of nutrients and elements and minerals and synthesis of molecules?
Who created all that?
Because that's God, folks.
That's God.
Because of God's blessing, You can grow powerful, life-saving medicine in the form of garlic.
And it's so delicious, you can even eat it as food.
You can use it to flavor your dishes.
So, that's what's amazing about this.
This is perfectly aligned with what we teach here.
The Church of Natural Abundance is the name of the church here.
The website is abundance.church, and it's teaching you about how God provides.
God provides for free.
And all that God asks in return is for you to follow his laws, follow his rules and give blessings, maintain a degree of humility, and to understand where all this treasure comes from.
It does not come from man.
It comes from God.
And as you know, throughout the Old Testament in particular, anytime cities or nations or civilizations, when they forgot where their blessings came from, they forgot about God.
And they started worshiping false idols.
And they started becoming arrogant.
It's all us!
We did this!
Aren't we awesome?
We're so awesome!
And then God would say, I'm just going to reset your whole nation.
Kaboom!
Giant fireballs.
Earth opens up.
Famine pestilence.
Flaming mountains falling out of the sky.
Until you remember me, you're not going to have any blessings at all.
That's pretty much the summary of the Old Testament.
And then the people would say, Oh, sorry, God, we forgot.
Okay, we honor you once again.
And then all the blessings would return, you know, for a while, until they forgot about him again.
So our job today is to make sure that we do not ever forget where these blessings come from.
And one good way to remember this is to realize that there's not any pharmaceutical company in the world.
There is no biotech company.
There is no artificial intelligence company.
There is no corporate stock traded on the NASDAQ or the S&P or anything.
There's no company that can manufacture a blade of grass, much less a leaf of a fig tree.
Or a mulberry tree, or even a mulberry for that matter.
There is literally no corporation, there's no technology, there's no nanotech super exotic alien technology anywhere on the planet that can make a grape.
And then you and I think of grapes as something so simple, it's easy to take them for granted.
Oh, it's just a bunch of grapes.
Yeah, whatever, you know.
Oh, and you got bananas and figs and grapes and oranges.
Yeah, just another day at the grocery store.
And you forget how amazing it all is.
You forget that it's miraculous.
So every time that you eat one of these foods, I implore you to give thanks to God for the miracles that you are ingesting and to remember that without God's gifts of life and health and abundance, we would have none of these things.
So yes, I see miracles every day all around me.
I can't help but see miracles because I walk in nature every day.
Everywhere I look, miracles of God.
Now, what's interesting about garlic in the Bible is that the place it's mentioned, which is in Numbers, is part of this journey of the ancient Israelites after they were set free from Egypt and they were being led to the Promised Land, you know, the land of milk and honey.
And along this journey, of course, they were having to eat a lot of manna.
And we covered this before in previous sermons, but They began to really, really complain.
And as you know, Moses was taking the brunt of all these complaints.
And at one point he was complaining to God like, God, why did you put me in this position?
I have to deal with all these complaining, these, these whiners, man.
Oh, they're just complaining about manna all the time.
So part of that complaint involved the fact that they were missing their garlic.
Here's the line.
This is great.
This is Numbers chapter 11.
We'll just start at the top.
Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord.
For the Lord heard it and His anger was aroused.
So the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.
Now this is literal.
This is like They made God angry, so he unleashed some fireballs, basically.
Like, fireballs for you on the east side!
Fireballs on the west!
Like, just burned up the people that were complaining.
This is old-school Old Testament God, okay, just to be clear.
This is not the New Testament, the new Christ, the new, you know, loving relationship with humankind.
This is the old-school wrath of God.
He's like, oh, you're gonna complain today?
Well, I'll just...
I'll just burn a few hundred of you alive.
Crispy Critters, no more complaints, huh?
That's what I thought, you know.
Verse 2.
Then the people cried out to Moses.
Moses!
God keeps burning our people alive.
And when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched.
See?
Moses, like, Dear Lord, can you stop with the fireballs, please?
Verse three.
So he called the name of the place Tibera, or Tabera, maybe that's it, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.
So I would guess that this word means something.
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe this is part of the translation from ancient Hebrew.
It makes a lot more sense.
Anyway, verse four.
Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving.
Like the ones that hadn't been burned to a crisp.
So the children of Israel also wept again and said, who will give us meat to eat?
Because I guess they weren't cannibals, right?
So they weren't going to eat the crispy critters that... I'm not going to say more, but you get the idea.
They're not cannibals, so they didn't eat the other crispy people.
Verse five, we remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
But now our whole being is dried up.
There's nothing at all except this manna before our eyes.
Nothing but manna!
And burnt up crispy people.
We really miss the garlic.
And what's funny is, of course, they were enslaved in Egypt.
I mean, they weren't really free.
They didn't really have their own society.
They didn't have their political power.
They didn't have religious freedom.
They were under the pharaoh.
They were under, you know, the tyranny, monopoly of Egypt.
But they miss the food so much.
What they're essentially saying here is, hey, we would rather be enslaved, but have delicious food.
Then to be out here on our journey to freedom eating manna.
And isn't that interesting?
Because that's the way a lot of people are today, isn't it?
Like they'd rather have the comforts of life more than they want freedom.
Because freedom's hard.
You know, freedom's hard.
You might have to take a journey.
You might have to take some steps.
You might have to give up something like garlic or cinnamon.
Freedom's hard.
A lot of people right now would rather sit on a couch or drink Starbucks or order from like Uber Eats or whatever delivers fake food or shadow food.
They'd rather sit around and eat all that fake food and have fake medicine and have their fake conversations with their fake friends on their fake book page, and they think that's real.
It's not real, but it's comfortable.
It's comfortable to them.
And even if you, you know, yank them out of their house and say, you know, we're going on a journey.
You're going to be free.
We're going to set you free.
We're going to the land of milk and honey and God is with us.
Even a lot of people would say, well, I don't want to do that.
I'm fine here.
Go, you go ahead.
It's on.
Go ahead.
Be sure to write when you get there, the land of milk and honey.
We'd love to hear about it.
See you.
Bye bye.
I'm missing daytime TV.
I gotta go.
That kind of thing.
That's actually most people, I think, because freedom is hard.
You know, faith is difficult for a lot of people.
Giving up addictions is hard.
Giving up sin is hard for a lot of people.
So it just depends on, you know, what priorities people have.
Verse 7.
Now, the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of delium.
The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it.
And its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
In other words, it was pretty bland.
And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
This is interesting because manna, apparently from what we know, Manna does have some essential oils in it, so it actually had the nutrients that were necessary to keep all these people alive, if they weren't angering God, of course.
So, you know, it was sort of basic nutrition, but you could imagine that after, like, five days of manna cakes, you'd probably also want something different.
But escaping slavery is not necessarily an easy thing.
Anyway, so that's where garlic is mentioned in the Bible.
It was something that they really craved, they enjoyed, they loved it.
And when they didn't have it, they kind of wanted to go back to Egypt.
It was like, can we just be slaves again as long as we have garlic?
You know, it's that kind of attitude.
And then, just in case you're curious, and we have covered this before in another sermon, but then Moses gets a little bit perturbed at the fact that all these people are complaining to him.
Moses is stuck in the middle.
And it says to the Lord in verse 11, why have you afflicted your servant, you know, himself?
Why have I not found favor in your sight that you have laid the burden of all these people on me?
You know, these lame complainers, these whiners.
That's not in Scripture.
Those are my comments.
Verse 12, did I conceive all these people?
Did I beget them that you should say to me, carry them in your bosom as a guardian carries a nursing child?
I mean, this is hilarious.
He's like, these aren't my children.
I'm not their father.
Why should I have to lead these complainers?
Continuing, to the land which you swore to their fathers.
Verse 13, where am I to get meat to give to all these people?
For they weep all over me.
Saying, give us meat that we may eat.
They weep all over me.
A bunch of sobbing little children, basically.
Verse 14, I am not able to bear all these people alone because the burden is too heavy for me.
If you treat me like this, he's saying to the Lord, please kill me here and now.
Like literally, God, just kill me.
If I have found favor in your sight and do not let me see my wretchedness.
So in verse 16, I have to read you this part because this is so hilarious.
So the Lord said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them.
Bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
Then I will come down and talk with you there.
I will take of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the same upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
So this is God saying this to Moses, go gather up these people and I'm going to lecture them, right?
So Moses goes out and he gathers these people up, but a lot more than 70.
I think, what does he gather?
70 men of the elders.
Oh, here it is.
Verse 21, Moses says to the Lord, the people who I am among are 600,000 men on foot.
Not 70, like 600,000!
Yet you have said, I will give them meat that they may eat for a whole month.
And so Moses is thinking, how is this possible?
Verse 22, shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them to provide enough for them?
Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to provide enough for them?
And the Lord said to Moses, has the Lord's arm been shortened?
He's basically saying, you know, ye of little faith, who do you think you're talking to?
I'm the Lord, right?
I can do all this.
He says, now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not.
And then if we skip to verse 31, check this out.
Now a wind went out from the Lord.
Remember that the Lord always works through natural phenomena, like wind and water and rain and things like that.
So here it is.
Now a wind went out from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea.
"...and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground." I don't quite understand that part, the two cubits above the surface.
Basically, the Lord brought all these birds, these edible birds, and somehow made them flutter on the ground.
Verse 32, and the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail.
And he who gathered the least gathered ten homers, and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
But while the meat was still between their teeth... Okay, so they are having a feast on quail here.
Garlic or no garlic.
They're having a quail buffet.
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people.
Uh-oh, he's getting angry again?
And the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
Oh, no!
So he called the name of that place, Kibroth Hatava, or Hatava, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.
So, oh man, in essence, in essence, the quail were diseased.
And the people who ate the diseased birds, they died.
And this was a test to see if the people could have faith in the Lord and just stick to the manna.
And the ones who gave into their craving and ate all the birds, they died.
Whoa, that's brutal.
So let that be a lesson.
If there's a bunch of birds that die and fall out of the sky, you might not want to eat them.
There might be a reason they died.
There might be something wrong with them.
Sick birds.
But then again, the manna fell out of the sky, and apparently that was brought by the wind too, but that was more like little coriander seeds that you could, you know, grind into, let's face it, like Bible tortillas.
Okay, pretty much what that is.
By the way, did you know that mesquite trees And in Texas, where I live in central Texas, there are a lot of mesquite trees.
Mesquite trees, many of them also grow in Hawaii on the Big Island.
Mesquite trees produce these high-protein seed pods.
And the seed pods were often harvested by Native Americans.
And today, by the way, they're eaten by wild hogs because we have a lot of wild hogs where we are and they devour these seed pods.
Let me tell you.
And they eat a lot of wild onions too.
They root up the ground and eat the wild onions.
Now these seed pods are, the seeds themselves are very durable and you have to grind them with a mortar and pestle type of setup.
It's quite a lot of work.
Native Americans, though, they were willing to do the work.
And so they would make a flower out of mesquite seed pods when they're at the right time of year, when they're, you know, a little bit beige and dried.
And then you can just pick them off the trees.
I mean, even where I am, I could pick thousands of pounds of mesquite pods if I had a way to process them all.
Anyway, it turns into mesquite flower.
And this mesquite flour can then be used to make things like, let's say, Native American, you know, mesquite cakes, which I'm imagining would be a lot like manna cakes.
It's kind of bland, but it's food, you know, it's got some energy in it.
It's not the most amazing thing you've ever had and it's hard work to get it, but it could keep you alive.
So that's one of the wild foods that exists today.
And it's another reason to keep mesquite trees around in case you ever have to harvest them for wild food.
You could make a flower out of it and you could have your own like mesquite manna cakes, basically.
But the other reason to keep mesquite trees around is because they have pretty amazing flowers and the flowers are used by pollinators.
So it's a source of pollen for honeybees.
So if you happen to have Beehives locally and and by the way, you know, we'll talk about wild honey.
Honey is a sermon that's coming up We're gonna have a whole sermon dedicated to honey because You know honey is mentioned many times in the Bible including don't forget.
I believe it was Wasn't John the Baptist walking out of the wild eating crunchy locusts and wild honey, which I called the Bible's Rice Krispie treats.
Yeah so Wild honey plus Mesquite flour would be quite good.
Just like if you had honey and manna, that would be nice.
That would be quite delicious.
So, you know, all the complaints about manna is just because they didn't have enough things to go with the manna.
If they had honey, or if they had garlic, or even cinnamon, you could have cinnamon manna cakes.
You know, cinnamon manna pancakes for breakfast, and then honey cinnamon manna cakes for dinner.
Then Moses wouldn't have had so many complaints from the people, if that were the case.
But apparently nobody had honey or cinnamon or anything like that, or garlic.
And we should recognize the value of having all those things readily available to us.
It's crazy.
You can go to the grocery store, you can buy like a whole container of cinnamon.
And that was a crazy expensive spice in the days of the Old Testament.
Or you can just go buy garlic cloves for almost nothing, or you can grow them.
And so we have access to some amazing, miraculous nutrients.
Now, in terms of the science behind garlic, by the way, if you go to PubMed, the National Library of Medicine, if you start to just do any research about garlic, you are going to find thousands of studies.
Garlic has been studied for a long time in even like Western science.
For example, here's a journal called Frontiers in Microbiology, and this was published in 2021.
The title is Antibacterial Properties of Organosulfur Compounds of Garlic.
Now, organosulfur, there's the sulfur that I mentioned earlier.
So garlic works by combining sulfur atoms into really effective molecular configurations that have the following properties.
This is mentioned in this study.
Bactericidal, antibiofilm, antitoxin, anti-quarum sensing activity.
Yeah, I didn't even know I needed that one.
Against a wide range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains.
So this is why garlic is so special.
When regular prescription antibiotics fail from the world of shadow medicine, garlic, garlic can hammer those drug resistant strains.
Yes, garlic is known for doing that.
And so one of the things that I do, like my dog, Rody is his name.
He's my Belgian Malinois dog.
And one time his ear got infected.
I think it's because he took a leap off of this high, like, cliff into this pond, and he went completely underwater.
Because he loves to play in the water and to fetch things in the water, so I had thrown the toy out there, and he just goes after it.
He just launches himself off.
His whole head goes underwater.
And I think he got pond water in his ears, so he started to have some very, like, really bad ear irritation, infection.
So what did I do?
I took cloves of garlic and I soaked them in coconut oil.
And so the coconut oil became kind of an extract for the garlic.
And then I stirred that up really well, had little tiny bits of garlic and stirred that up.
And then I just strained out the garlic bits with a little kitchen strainer.
So I had a coconut oil infused with garlic.
And of course I tasted it myself to make sure like, Whoa, yep.
That's garlic with coconut oil.
Now, coconut oil itself is antibacterial, and garlic is also antibacterial, of course, like we're talking about.
Now, the thing about coconut oil is it's an amazing carrier that penetrates every little nook and cranny in everything.
You can't keep coconut oil out of things.
It'll go through jar lids.
Coconut oil, it I don't know what it is about it, but the hydraulic properties of it just push it into everything.
So it's perfect for dog's ears.
Now, you don't want to have too much garlic because it can burn sensitive tissue.
And that's why I tasted it first.
You only need a little bit of garlic.
So if you do this, folks, don't overdo it.
You don't want to burn your dog's ear.
You could even take some of the coconut oil with garlic in it and you could test it on yourself first.
That's probably wise.
You know how if you're a parent and when you were feeding your baby warm milk, you would You'd put the warm milk on your wrist maybe first to make sure it's not like crazy hot milk.
You don't want to burn your baby's lips.
Right?
So you test it on yourself first.
Do the same thing with coconut oil and garlic.
And so you can put it on a sensitive skin spot.
Like your lips, you know, that's pretty sensitive.
Or maybe, you know, skin, maybe your underarms.
I don't know what, like wherever you are going to get the fastest sensory response, you can probably think of a few places.
Your body is a testing machine for potency of garlic and other things.
So use it, you know, use it for that.
Make sure you've got the right dose.
You don't want to be too crazy.
You don't want to burn.
Shouldn't burn, shouldn't be painful, but it should smell and taste like garlic, okay?
I know some people are going to say, well, give us the recipe.
We want to know how many grams, how many ounces.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I don't have that for you.
You can look up recipes or whatever.
I'm just giving you some rules of thumb here, some guidelines, because I don't use recipes.
So then I took an eyedropper, because I've got a lot of droppers sitting around, you know, because of all the essential oils that I buy and all the herbs and everything.
I take an eyedropper and I just take some of this oil and, uh, have my dog come over, you know, tilt his ear over, drop the oil into his ear, rub it around.
And he was complaining.
He's like, Oh, it hurts.
It's sensitive.
Cause it was, it was red and it was angry.
It was inflamed.
And I rub it around and I give him a nice treat, you know, and praise him.
And it's such a good doggy.
Good job.
Yes.
You took the garlic oil, you know, do that for a few days, like five days.
Problem solved.
Right.
It's done.
Done.
Okay.
Don't need a prescription.
I didn't need to take him to the vet.
You can do this yourself.
So back to the study.
It's explaining how this kills drug-resistant bacteria.
It says, the reactive organosulfur compounds form disulfide bonds with free sulfhydryl groups of enzymes and compromise the integrity of the bacterial membrane.
Did you know that?
It compromises the integrity of the bacterial membrane.
In other words, bacteria have cell walls, membranes, and if the membranes are torn down, It's like the walls of Jericho coming down, you know?
It's like, that's it.
It's done.
The bacteria can't survive.
But instead of Israelites marching around the walls blowing their horns, you have sulfur compounds in solution just floating around the microbes and it just kills them.
From the study, multiple antibacterial effects of organosulfur compounds provide an excellent framework to develop them into novel antibiotics.
And you see a lot of these studies talk about, well, we should develop drugs based on this research.
We should have drugs.
And what they mean is they want to have prescription drugs, FDA approved, very expensive pharmaceuticals.
You have to have permission from a doctor.
You have to wait at the pharmacy.
You have to have it filled.
You know, like that's shadow medicine.
Sorry.
I'm not in favor of that.
When you can just grow garlic.
You can just grow garlic yourself for free and you can have this medicine for free and you don't need a pharmaceutical centralized controller or a doctor's permission in order to eat garlic or to do what I did to make your own garlic eardrops, you know?
It's like all this medicine is available right there, and there are still some people who hesitate.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know if it's safe to use garlic right out of the garden.
I don't know.
But I'm going to trust the pharmaceutical medicine, which is highly toxic and kills, you know, 120,000 Americans a year.
I'm going to trust that medicine.
You'd be much safer to use natural medicine.
Natural medicine doesn't kill people like that.
I mean, eating garlic, it might kill your breath, but it's not going to kill you.
All right.
I better get to the reference books here.
I'll never get it done.
So from Herbs of the Bible by Dr. James A. Duke, the section on garlic lists the possible benefits, including cancer, which I haven't even talked about here.
But yes, garlic is well known as an anti-cancer herb, that it can treat colds, diabetes, flu, hypertension, high cholesterol.
It's extremely well known for cholesterol issues, by the way, as well as infections.
And from the book says, no wonder the strength and spirits of the Hebrews following Moses out of Egypt and through the desert were flagging.
They needed garlic and leeks and onions to give them strength and stamina.
An inscription on one Egyptian pyramid reads that 100,000 men were employed for 30 years in its construction.
The laborers were fed garlic and leeks and onions as part of their stipend.
Can you believe that?
It's like, yeah, I'm here for the help wanted ad.
What are we doing?
We are building pyramid.
Okay.
Uh, out of what?
Stones.
Uh-huh.
And okay, so what are we going to get paid in?
Garlic.
Can you imagine?
Sign me up?
I don't know.
And the ancient Israelites had 40 years of struggling through the desert to the promised land without even one clove of garlic.
Now, I have a question.
Were they eating manna for 40 years?
I don't think so.
I don't think you could live on manna for 40 years.
I don't think that's possible.
But 40 years?
I don't think it was all manna for 40 years.
I think manna was just part of the journey.
Hebrews have relied on garlic to be able to be fruitful and multiply, as Genesis directed.
They believe that consuming garlic increases virility.
Indeed, it does.
According to the Talmud, there are five properties of garlic consumed on Fridays, Shabbat.
It keeps the body warm.
It brightens the face.
It increases semen.
It kills parasites.
It fosters love and removes jealousy.
That's a weird combination, but there you go.
In case those are your priorities on Friday, garlic is your herb.
So in case you're wondering how all this works, garlic has a high content of free amino acids dominated by the amino acid arginine.
Arginine is used by the cells that line the artery walls to manufacture nitric oxide.
Which facilitates blood flow to the penis.
Indeed.
Without nitric oxide, erections are impossible.
Did you know that?
And this is also kind of how Viagra works, I think, is it alters nitric oxide production.
But garlic, I think of garlic as being best known for heart health, cardiovascular health, cholesterol, and also its antibacterial properties.
I'm not sure that it's consumed Not much today for, you know, erection purposes, but given all of the virility problems that probably accompany modern-day consumption of processed junk foods and mass medications, you know, a lot of medications cause, you know, erection problems.
So if there's a lot of men taking a lot of meds, they might need some help.
Maybe garlic could help them out.
Continuing from the book by Dr. Duke, medicinally garlic juice was prescribed to treat intestinal infections, respiratory ailments, snake bites, melancholy.
Is that a disease?
And hypochondria.
I'm sorry.
You know, I have a sense of humor about all of this.
I just can't help but mention.
Can you imagine somebody showing up to the doctor?
It's like, doctor, doctor, can you help me?
The doctor says, what's wrong with you?
I've got intestinal infections.
I've got hypochondria, melancholy.
I've been bitten by a snake and I can't get an erection.
And the doctor's like, well, I've got something for you.
It just happens to handle all those things.
Do you also have an antibiotic drug-resistant bacterial infection?
Because it handles that too.
It's called garlic.
Can you imagine?
I've been bit by a snake and I can't get an erection?
Dude, you're having a rough Friday.
Day.
I don't know.
Garlic contains the active ingredient adjoine, reported to inhibit platelet aggregation in arteries.
So that would make it very useful for preventing, let's say, artificial blood clots, wouldn't it?
Hmm, interesting.
Garlic juice contains allicin, an antibiotic and antifungal element shown to have anti-tumor properties.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add that.
Doctor, doctor, I've got toenail fungus, cancer tumors, melancholy, I got bit by a snake, and I can't have an erection.
Okay, what do you have for that?
From around the world, folk remedies include inhaling vapors from the garlic stalk, applying a poultice made from garlic bulbs, or massaging with an ointment made from garlic roots to relieve headaches, reduce tumors, and provide antifungal and antibacterial relief.
Allicin, a powerful antibiotic, has been isolated as the silver bullet That protects the body from carcinogens and bacteria, and it facilitates healing, lowers blood sugar, alleviates hypertension, and speeds healing from gunshot wounds.
Oh, wait a second.
Really?
Doctor, doctor.
I have an update.
Doctor, doctor, doctor.
Um, I have a multi-drug resistant antibacterial infection, toe fungus, melancholy, I've been bitten by a snake, I can't get an erection, and I've been shot.
Do you have something for that?
Yes, indeed we do, son.
We have garlic.
All right, here we go.
Folklore surrounding garlic usage.
None of this is mentioned in the Book of Numbers.
Sadly, I think it would have been awesome if all the ancient Israelites, in addition to complaining about manna, if they complained about lack of erections, Hey, Moses, hey, come here.
Can I tell you something privately?
You know, in addition to the fact that it's just nonstop manna all day long, I've been bitten by a snake, feeling kind of a little bit of melancholy, got this crazy toe fungus infection that won't go away since we left Egypt, and things aren't so good in the intimacy department, if you know what I mean, Moses.
No wonder Moses complained to God.
Who are these people?
We're trying to escape slavery in Egypt, and all they want to complain about is garlic and sex, you know what I mean?
Of course they made up for it when they got to the Promised Land, but that's a different chapter.
Okay, sorry, I get carried away on this, because yes, I have a sense of humor, and that's necessary.
Laughter is medicine.
Garlic juice mixed with oil is useful for curing skin diseases, ulcers, wounds, and insect bites.
This is from the book by Dr. Duke.
This same mixture can be used as drops for earaches.
I told you!
Told you!
I was just saying that!
And I had not even read this.
According to an ancient manuscript in India, garlic was prescribed for abdominal tumors.
Garlic has antibacterial properties that make it a useful expectorant in the treatment of tuberculosis.
That's useful.
Garlic acts as pain relief for headaches, earaches, and rheumatic pains.
So there you go.
That's what we have on garlic.
So bottom line, folks, I mean, I know I've been joking around a lot today, but I find nutrition to be very fun.
I do.
I find it very entertaining.
And combined with Bible scripture, it's really fun.
Garlic may be the single most powerful emergency medicine herb that you need to grow because it does so many things.
It is so incredibly powerful.
It's easy to grow and it has a lot of sort of off-grid uses, emergency medicine uses.
It is incredibly potent and again, it's free and it can be used for all kinds of things that we've talked about here today.
So, take advantage of this.
Grow garlic and keep it growing so that you have a supply when it comes time.
I mean, this is really important stuff.
And give thanks to God every time that you see garlic growing.
Give thanks to God because God's miracles are working every single day.
They're working through the plants.
They're working through the photosynthesis, the construction of all these organosulfur compounds that actually kill the bacteria and destroy cancer tumors and produce nitric oxide and do all these amazing things.
These are all gifts from God.
And that's all that is asked of us, at least in this context, is that, yes, I mean, use all the amazing foods and all the herbs that God put on this earth for us, but use them mindfully.
You don't have to be.
Use them with thanks to God.
Don't just use them sort of blindly or with a sense like we are owed this or it's all my work.
Like I grew the garlic.
You didn't synthesize the garlic.
You watered a bulb.
I mean, God made the garlic, you know.
It's God's miracles that produce the medicine in the garlic.
You just poured some water on some dirt with a bulb in it.
And maybe you pulled some weeds too, you know.
But God did the real work.
So let's give God the glory when it comes to nutrition and herbs and superfoods and natural medicine, because that's where it belongs.
And if you've enjoyed this sermon, we have a lot of other sermons.
Some of them are more serious, but they all impart some really useful knowledge, real practical knowledge, I believe, about navigating our world today and doing so in a way that enhances your life, your health, your longevity, your happiness.
And that's why I do this, to share those things with you and to bring you closer to God.
through foods and herbs and healing and the miracles of God that really are happening all around us every single day, whether we realize it or not.
