Health Fact: Garlic Wards Off (Besides Vampires!) Many Health Threats

August 28th 2007 14:36

For thousands of years, humans have revered garlic as both food and medicine. Medical experts believe that regular consumption of garlic - as little as half a clove a day - may cut the risk of several significant health threats.

Chemists say that when garlic is crushed, chopped, or chewed, an enzyme is released that converts one of garlic's key sulfur compounds, called alliin, into allicin. Allicin gives garlic its unique odor (the reason why garlic is often called the "stinking rose") and provides much of its healing properties

A Psychiatrist or a Psychologist: Which Professional is Better Concerning Mental Health?

Any physician can legally prescribe psychoactive medications, while almost anyone, even without a license or training, can profess to treat emotional disorders.

Community health centers can arrange for psychiatric assessment and follow-up services, and in emergency situations a crisis team can be called upon.

Psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, and counselors all play a role in the delivery of mental health services.
