#Garlic

"Studies on garlic. Garlic alleviates lymphocyte depletion in covid/vax, improves immune profile as prophylactic and is a potent antimicrobial with better antiparasitic results compared to ivermectin.
Garlic supplementation causes significant increases in CD4 + and CD8"
FYI, garlic is the #1 anti-cancer food. Oh, there are other anti-cancer compounds, like IP6 and Beta Glucans, for example, the latter Bill Sardi describes as an "immune activator." [After reading the literature, Sardi points out that there are better brands of beta-glucans. Scroll down to the heading, "The New Discovery" and "Underutilized Medical Technology." The brand that stands far ahead of the rest in producing immune cells is the unique brand, Wellmune.]
Be sure to look for the term, Wellmune.
But if you're not a pill-taking fan and still want anti-cancer compounds in food form, garlic is the go-to choice. Hands down. It even beats broccoli. So reach for a clove or six of raw garlic. I take both--garlic capsules and raw garlic cloves on a daily basis. The garlic capsules help maintain a healthy gut, and the raw garlic cloves work wonders on my nerves, my legs, and my sleep. Yeah, sleep. Raw garlic improves my sleep.
It's not always easy to simply add garlic to any food dish because not all dishes are palatable with garlic. This is why I eat raw garlic in the morning and in the evening before bed. To make it an anti-cancer compound instead of just a garnish in cooked meals, you need to take this every day. If you cook potatoes, add some chopped garlic. If you cook broccoli, add some chopped garlic and fry it in olive oil. If you cook pasta, definitely add some chopped garlic fried in butter.
Oh, yeah, as to the CD4+ and CD8 cells. CD4+ cells are immune cells, referred to as "Helper cells," because they don't attack a pathogen directly but rather trigger the immune system to launch its Army and Navy. CD8 Cells, now, those are the bad boys that directly attack and kill pathogens, which is why the CD8 immune cells are called "Killer Cells." Go get 'em, Killer.
