Did You Know That Taking A Daily Garlic Supplement Protects You From Mosquito Bites?

Here in Florida, where it is moist and humid all the time, mosquitos are everywhere. And they don’t like garlic.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2 (KJV)

For thousands of years, people have been improving their health by taking raw, cooked and supplemented garlic. As you will see in a moment, the list of it’s beneficial properties is truly astounding. But we also want to tell you about one benefit you may not be aware of – it wards off mosquito and bug bite attacks, too!

Researchers in Brazil announced Thursday the “presence of the Zika virus” in Culex mosquitoes (the common house mosquito) in the eastern city of Recife. The findings were released with a word of caution: “The obtained data will require additional studies in order to assess the potential participation of Culex in the spread of Zika and its role in the epidemic.” The Zika Virus has pa lot of people in a panic, and to protect themselves they are applied chemical-based bug repellant on their skin which is not always a good thing. Garlic can help.

Top 10 Actually Proven Health Benefits of Garlic:

For the past two decades, I have personally taken between 600 mg – 1800 mg of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract on a daily basis. This was worked to keep my blood pressure and cholesterol naturally low, as well as bolster my immune system. And it also has kept me nearly bug bite-free in all that time as well. Here in Florida, where it is moist and humid all the time, mosquitos are everywhere. Yet I rarely get more than a bite per year because the garlic I take is also a natural insect repellant. I watch with a wry smile as people around me slather their skin with cancer-causing chemicals like DDT to keep the bugs off, urging them to use garlic instead.

If you are worried about catching a blood-borne illness from insect bites, you better start talking garlic right away. And here are some of the more traditional and well-known benefits of daily garlic supplementation:

  • Cardiovascular Benefits: Garlic’s numerous beneficial cardiovascular effects are due to not only its sulfur compounds, but also to its vitamin C, vitamin B6, selenium and manganese. Garlic is a very good source of vitamin C, the body’s primary antioxidant defender in all aqueous (water-soluble) areas, such as the bloodstream, where it protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Since it is the oxidized form of LDL cholesterol that initiates damage to blood vessel walls, reducing levels of oxidizing free radicals in the bloodstream can have a profound effect on preventing cardiovascular disease. Garlic’s vitamin B6 helps prevent heart disease via another mechanism: lowering levels of homocysteine. An intermediate product of an important cellular biochemical process called the methylation cycle, homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls. The selenium in garlic can become an important part of our body’s antioxidant system. A cofactor of glutathione peroxidase(one of the body’s most important internally produced antioxidant enzymes), selenium also works with vitamin E in a number of vital antioxidant systems. Garlic is rich not only in selenium, but also in another trace mineral, manganese, which also functions as a cofactor in a number of other important antioxidant defense enzymes, for example, superoxide dismutase. Studies have found that in adults deficient in manganese, the level of HDL (the “good form” of cholesterol) is decreased.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Our cardiovascular system is not the only body system that may be able to benefit from garlic’s anti-inflammatory properties. There’s preliminary evidence (mostly from animal studies, and mostly based on garlic extracts rather than whole food garlic) that our our musculoskeletal system and respiratory system can also benefit from anti-inflammatory compounds in garlic. Both the diallyl sulfide (DAS) and thiacremonone in garlic have been shown to have anti-arthritic properties. And in the case of allergic airway inflammation, aged garlic extract has been show to improve inflammatory conditions (once again in animal studies).
  • Cholesterol Levels: Most of the research on garlic and our cardiovascular system has been conducted on garlic powder, garlic oil, or aged garlic extracts rather than garlic in food form. But despite this research limitation, food studies on garlic show this allium vegetable to have important cardioprotective properties. Garlic is clearly able to lower our blood triglycerides and total cholesterol, even though this reduction can be moderate (5-15%). In addition to the ability of garlic to help prevent our blood vessels from becoming blocked, this allium vegetable may also be able to help prevent clots from forming inside of our blood vessels. This cardiovascular protection has been linked to one particular disulfide in garlic called ajoene. Ajoene has repeatedly been shown to have anti-clotting properties. It can help prevent certain cells in our blood (called platelets) from becoming too sticky, and by keeping this stickiness in check, it lowers the risk of our platelets clumping together and forming a clot.
  • Antibacterial and Antiviral Benefits: From a medical history standpoint, the antibacterial and antiviral properties of garlic are perhaps its most legendary feature. This allium vegetable and its constituents have been studied not only for their benefits in controlling infection by bacteria and viruses, but also infection from other microbes including yeasts/fungi and worms. (One particular disulfide in garlic, called ajoene, has been successfully used to help prevent infections with the yeast Candida albicans.) Very recent research has shown the ability of crushed fresh garlic to help prevent infection by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in burn patients. Also of special interest has been the ability of garlic to help in the treatment of bacterial infections that are difficult to treat due to the presence of bacteria that have become resistant to prescription antibiotics. However, most of the research on garlic as an antibiotic has involved fresh garlic extracts or powdered garlic products rather than fresh garlic in whole food form.Overgrowth of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in the stomach—a key risk factor for stomach ulcer—has been another key area of interest for researchers wanting to explore garlic’s antibacterial benefits. Results in this area, however, have been mixed and inconclusive. While garlic may not be able to alter the course of infection itself, there may still be health benefits from garlic in helping to regulate the body’s response to that infection.
  • Cancer Prevention:A high intake of garlic (roughly translated as daily intake of this food) has been found to lower risk of virtually all cancer types except cancer of the prostate and breast cancer. However, moderate intake of garlic (roughly translated as several times per week) has been repeatedly found to lower risk of only two cancer types—colorectal and renal cancer. This difference between “high” versus “moderate” garlic intake may be a real difference that suggests we all need to eat more garlic if we want to maximize its cancer-related benefits. Or it may be a difference that is more related to research complications involving the options given to research participants when reporting their food intake. Still, garlic has a consistent track record with respect to general anti-cancer benefits, and there are good research reasons for classifying garlic as an “anti-cancer” food. source

The best part about taking garlic in supplement form from the the Kyolic company is that there is no odor attached to it, yet all the potency remains. (NTEB receives no compensation, financial or otherwise, from the Kyolic corporation.)

TO THE FIGHT: Today We Announce The Launch Of ‘Operation Africa’ To Plant 2 Bible Believing Churches In Uganda And Kenya Along With Thousands Of Bibles

‘Operation Africa’ Begins As NTEB Plants King James Bible Believing Churches In Uganda And Kenya To Preach The Gospel In The Closing Moments Of The Church Age

Now The End Begins is launching ‘Operation Africa’ as part of our much larger end-times missionary effort to preach, teach, evangelize, disciple, and plant Bible-believing works in the Gospel Ministry while there is still time. This is not missions as a slogan, this is not charity as a photo opportunity, and this is not religious activity for the sake of appearances. This is Bible believing, gospel preaching, King James Bible ministry on the mission field, carried out in the closing moments of the Church Age. Come help us!

“As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” Acts 13:2,3 (KJB)

In Uganda, we are working right now to plant the Bible Believers Church of Kanungu with recently ordained minister Irad Biryomumesho, a man called to labor among his own people with the word of God in his hand and the gospel of the grace of God in his heart. He will be their pastor and shepherd. In Kenya, we are also working to plant the Bible Believers Church of Kisii, which will be headed up by Pastor Dancan, another faithful laborer stepping into the harvest field at a time when the need is overwhelming and the hour is late. We have been raising money for Bibles, and sending them out as new shipments arrive daily. Now we need to raise about $25,000 to erect either a permanent tent, or pole barn, under which church services can be held for both church in Uganda and Kenya. That money will also go to supply each church with everything they need to preach, teach and evangelize. Christian, this is the greatest open door that God has given us since the founding of the Bibles Behind Bars program. Our goal is to raise the money, put up the tents, and establish both churches by the time of the Camp Meeting in September. Please pray about joining us, and if the Lord gives you the green light, click on the donate button to help us reach out goal as quickly as possible. Thank you!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to everyone who needs one. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day Arrives With A UFO Revelation Message As The World Is Being Programmed To Believe The Coming Strong Delusion

The question is not whether Steven Spielberg knows some classified secret about aliens living among us. The question is why the culture keeps being pushed, decade after decade, toward the same conclusion: mankind is not alone, mankind is being watched, mankind is being prepared, and at some appointed moment a hidden truth will be unveiled to the entire world. The Bible believer already knows mankind is not alone. But what is watching this world is not benevolent space brothers from a distant galaxy. It is a fallen spiritual kingdom, working behind the scenes, preparing this present evil world for the arrival of Antichrist. That’s the bad news, but we also have some very, very Good News to share as well.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Spielberg’s Disclosure Day may be fiction, but fiction has always been one of the Devil’s favorite testing grounds. It lets him introduce ideas before they are implemented. It lets him normalize the unthinkable. It lets him train generations to respond emotionally before they ever have to respond doctrinally. So no, this movie is not proof that aliens are among us. But yes, it is another loud signal that the world is being conditioned for something. The language of disclosure, revelation, contact, proof, and global truth is now everywhere. The world is not being prepared to meet “aliens.” It is being prepared to receive a counterfeit revelation that will draw men further away from the truth of the King James Bible and deeper into the coming kingdom of Antichrist. That makes the question this. How should the Bible Believer live in a time when all these things are going on? The answer is simple. We are to do the Lord’s work of preaching, teaching and evangelizing with the gospel until He comes to get us. Whenever that may be. Towards that end, on this program, we will also be announcing the launch of ‘Operation:Africa!’ that began this week, and share with you the amazing new door that the Lord has opened for us with the Gospel Ministry on the African continent.

From A Heartbreaking No From The Gideons To A Heaven-Sent Yes From Us, Hundreds Of Bibles Are Now Flowing To Glory Fellowship Church In Kisii, Kenya

After The Gideons Said No To Pastor Dancan In Kenya, God Opened The Door For NTEB To Send Hundreds Of Bibles To Glory Fellowship Church In Kisii

Last week, we told you about Pastor Dancan at the Glory Fellowship Church in Kisii, Kenya, and the incredible and sad story he told us of reaching out to The Gideons for Bibles only to be told no. How could we step in and help where the Gideons could not? Well, as it turns out, God has kicked open the door for us in Kenya, and hundreds of Bibles are flowing to Glory Fellowship, with Lord willing, hundreds more. We are halfway to our goal of sending the 823 Bibles, one for each member of the church.

“That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:17 (KJB)

After he recieved the first shipment of Bibles from us, Pastor Dancan wrote and told us this – “Pastor, it was a wonderful moment. More than 700 people came seeking Bibles, and we thank God that 200 people were able to receive one. Many others were moved to tears because they also desired to have a Bible, but we encouraged them to keep praying and trusting God to provide more in the coming days. Thank you so much for this great support and help. May God richly bless you for being a blessing to this community!” He sent us a video of a man, 80 years old, holding the Bible we gave him, (below wearing brown stripes) and it was the first time he had ever held a Bible in his hands, much less owned one. Wrap your head around that! Here is what it looked like when the first shipment was unboxed and handed out – pure joy!

Right now, we have reached the halfway point, and in a week no less! So many, many thanks to all of you praying and donating to this outreach, it’s truly amazing. We still have another 423 Bibles to send out, and need your help to do it. It will take $4,500 to send the remaining Bibles, and we will be sending them out by faith in the next few days. God has kicked open wide the door to Kenya, and have given us liberty and favor to send these Bibles out. Come help us, we need you!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to everyone who needs one. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
