Garlic, Staph Infections, and a Medieval MRSA Remedy

Garlic apparently, there was a study that was done with garlic with like external staph infections and it's as effective or more effective than antibiotics.

Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, garlic fucking kills everything.

There's a reason why like a lot of people use it in their food, a lot of cultures use it in their food.

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."

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.

Dude, after about two days of that I shit out every single piece of shit inside my body- ... that ever existed.

The ones that were up in the attic just chilling, bro. All of it came out.

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.

Why did you go with the pills and not the cloves?

Uh- Just 'cause it's more convenient? Like just eating garlic cloves? Yeah, eating garlic cloves. I don't know.

I don't know if I would do that. I eat garlic cloves sometimes. You do? Yeah. You cook them?

No, I just eat them raw. Oh, okay. 'Cause it, it, it, it feels like it's doing something. All right.

Like if I'm not feeling good, I'll eat garlic.

Um- I'll eat like raw cloves, like three or four cloves and you j- your body's like, "Whoa."

Oh, really? Yeah. They don't give you indigestion and stuff?

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.

It feels like you took a medicine. Really? Yeah. All right.

How many you eat? Four? Three, four. Three, four? Yeah. I'll try that.

Just some fat cloves, just chew them down.

They taste nasty. Okay. Like while you're eating it you're like, "Jesus."

I feel like I've tried that. Yeah, I've tried that. Yeah.

Oh. Ah. But I mean, I think there's something to like ancient medicine.

Like people have been taking- Yeah ... garlic.

I mean, uh, obviously it has something to do with taste.

"1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA."

Hmm. 1,000 years old. Whoa, look at that cool language.

Is that the recipe right there? Yeah, yeah, it is. Look at that cool language. What language is this? What is that language?

Yeah, yeah, it is. Look at that cool language. What language is this? What is that language?

Uh, it's Anglo-Saxon manuscript. Whoa. Yeah. Look how wild that language is. I wonder which language it is.

Dude we used to draw so- Old English I guess ... wow.

I guess you can probably read it- So astonished to find an almost completely wiped out, uh, methicillin-resistant staphylocoocus.

How do you say that? I don't know. Staphyl- staphylococus?

Yeah, I always try to say that- Staphylococcus ... staphylcoccalus?

Staphylococcus ... staphyloco- Staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA.

Their findings were presented in National Microbiology conference.

The remedy was found in Bald's Leechbook, an Old English manuscript containing instructions on various treatments held in the British library.

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.
