The Deadly Shaolin Longfist (1980)
Sifu’s advice with Garlic?
When I trained in Shaolin Northen Longfist Kung Fu back in the late 1980’s, my Sifu, Joseph Thomas, would always preach to us about the benefits of taking a whole fresh garlic clove, and swalling it once or twice a day like a pill.
His sweat always smelled like garlic, but he was a vegan. (and didn’t use deodorant, I’m sure you can imagine how pleasant class was, we had a joke as to what was more deadly, his technique or BO)
Now days, I hear alot of commercials for garlic pills.
Have any of you heard of this? What are the benefits of this supposed to be?

I have heard of some of the benefits of garlic. I recall a member of the church that I used to attend. She was one of the “mothers” of the church. We used to call her mother garlic because you could always smell the garlic odor coming out of her pores. I was told that she had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. She was using the garlic cloves to treat it.
It has many other uses.
