When garlic was injected after the
virulent cells, tumors were delayed
or prevented from developing as long
as administration of garlic was
continued.

Researchers have reported and
observed that the sulfhydryl content
is significantly higher in tumorous
cancer cells than normal healthy
cells. An active ingredient of
garlic has been shown to inactivate
any sulfhydryl (-SH) enzymes. In
leukemia, for example, allicin shows
a greater affinity for cysteine
(a-SH) reacting with it reducing its
biological activity. Such compounds
may be of importance in relationship
to malignancies and leukemia because

the availability of reduced -SH
compounds have been implicated in
the processes of cancerous cell
growth and division. These studies
with garlic compounds indicate its
ability to inactivate -SH enzymes
and to combine with cysteine may be
correlated with an inhibitory effect
on rapidly growing cells.

In animals the effectiveness
of allicin has been demonstrated by
the complete inhibition of mammary
tumors in mice. (Kronig, 1964)
