I personally love raw garlic. I'll eat it as a treat on occasion, like in a salad. This recipe sounds over the top. Warding off disease isn't like warding off a vampire. One food, however healthful, won't do it. Life is too complicated. Trillions of cells need thousands of compounds, as in lots of varied fruits and vegetables, some garlic ...

Prepare garlic quickly, cut cloves into quarters, fill a 2-oz. shotglass. Add water to top of shotglass. Down all at once, crunching and chewing as needed.
