[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=8) Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, garlic fucking kills everything. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=11) There's a reason why like a lot of people use it in their food, a lot of cultures use it in their food. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=16) It's to prevent food poisoning. So dude, when I got, when I got that, uh, the knee infection staph, I was like, "All right. I'm just gonna try to kill this with a bunch of garlic." [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=26) And dude, I was taking like 10 or 15- Cloves ... dude I was taking like 10 or 15 garlic pills, like the high potency ones. Oh, yeah. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=33) Dude, after about two days of that I shit out every single piece of shit inside my body- ... that ever existed. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=41) The ones that were up in the attic just chilling, bro. All of it came out. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=45) I was like, "Ooh, a little hack there." You know? So- That's interesting ... maybe you don't have to fast for three days, you could just fucking eat a bunch of garlic and shit everything out and be fine. [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=53) Why did you go with the pills and not the cloves? [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=56) Uh- Just 'cause it's more convenient? Like just eating garlic cloves? Yeah, eating garlic cloves. I don't know. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=61) I don't know if I would do that. I eat garlic cloves sometimes. You do? Yeah. You cook them? [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=65) No, I just eat them raw. Oh, okay. 'Cause it, it, it, it feels like it's doing something. All right. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=69) Like if I'm not feeling good, I'll eat garlic. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=71) Um- I'll eat like raw cloves, like three or four cloves and you j- your body's like, "Whoa." [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=76) Oh, really? Yeah. They don't give you indigestion and stuff? [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=79) Hmm, a little bit maybe. Yeah, yeah. But it, really what it does is like it's, it feels like you just took a drug. Okay. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=85) It feels like you took a medicine. Really? Yeah. All right. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=88) How many you eat? Four? Three, four. Three, four? Yeah. I'll try that. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=90) Just some fat cloves, just chew them down. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=92) They taste nasty. Okay. Like while you're eating it you're like, "Jesus." [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=94) I feel like I've tried that. Yeah, I've tried that. Yeah. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=97) Oh. Ah. But I mean, I think there's something to like ancient medicine. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=101) Like people have been taking- Yeah ... garlic. [1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=102) I mean, uh, obviously it has something to do with taste. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=105) "1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA." [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=109) Hmm. 1,000 years old. Whoa, look at that cool language. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=111) Is that the recipe right there? Yeah, yeah, it is. Look at that cool language. What language is this? What is that language? [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=115) Yeah, yeah, it is. Look at that cool language. What language is this? What is that language? [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=116) Uh, it's Anglo-Saxon manuscript. Whoa. Yeah. Look how wild that language is. I wonder which language it is. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=121) Dude we used to draw so- Old English I guess ... wow. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=124) I guess you can probably read it- So astonished to find an almost completely wiped out, uh, methicillin-resistant staphylocoocus. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=132) How do you say that? I don't know. Staphyl- staphylococus? [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=136) Yeah, I always try to say that- Staphylococcus ... staphylcoccalus? [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=139) Staphylococcus ... staphyloco- Staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=143) Their findings were presented in National Microbiology conference. [2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=146) The remedy was found in Bald's Leechbook, an Old English manuscript containing instructions on various treatments held in the British library. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/oZ62wIv7PYh5/en/garlic-staph-infections-and-a-medieval-mrsa-remedy?t=154) Isn't that wild, man? Like there's stuff that- Yeah, I know ... works that like people have been doing for thousands of years, but people dismiss it as being voodoo.
