In 2005, a new natural compound stepped into the spotlight as a potential game-changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria—specifically MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus). The hero? Allicin—a compound derived from garlic.

The Garlic Compound with Serious Power

Allicin is the active antibacterial component in garlic (Allium sativum). Although highly potent, allicin is notoriously unstable in its natural form. Scientists used a cold aqueous extraction technique to create Allimed™, a stabilized form of allicin that remains active and effective. The results were striking: Allimed™ showed powerful antibacterial activity, particularly against MRSA and other multi-drug resistant organisms.

How Does Allicin Work?

Allicin works by targeting thiol-containing enzymes, which are critical to the survival of many pathogens. These enzymes include:

• Alcohol dehydrogenase

• Thioredoxin reductase

• Cysteine proteinases

By modifying these enzymes, allicin disrupts bacterial metabolism and causes cell death. Studies also confirmed that allicin reacts with thiol compounds to form S-allylmercapto-cysteine, a compound that reinforces its antimicrobial action.

Real Patients, Real Results

The study examined three elderly patients suffering from chronic MRSA infections that had resisted conventional antibiotic treatments for months or even years. Each patient underwent a treatment course combining:

• Allimed™ capsules (450 mg, three per day)

• Allimed™ liquid spray (1000 µg/ml, applied once daily)

• Allimed™ cream (500 µg/ml, applied once daily)

The Outcomes?

• All patients reported significant improvement within 2–6 weeks.

• Complete resolution of infections occurred within 3–4 months.

• No side effects were reported.

• MRSA was eradicated from both nasal and wound swabs.

• Faster relief from pain and weeping ulcers was observed compared to conventional antibiotics.

Scientific Backing

Lab testing confirmed Allimed™’s effectiveness:

• Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values as low as 16 mg/l.

• Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) ranging from 128–256 mg/l.

• Allicin showed strong zones of inhibition against MRSA—even outperforming mupirocin in some strains.

Importantly, allicin also affects extracellular virulence factors (toxins and enzymes that bacteria release), providing symptom relief before the actual bacteria are cleared.

Safe and Side-Effect Free

Toxicological studies in animal models confirmed that Allimed™ is safe, even at high doses (2000 mg/kg in rats showed no adverse effects). It’s also compatible with other medications, including blood thinners like Warfarin.

Beyond MRSA: A Broad-Spectrum Natural Antibiotic

Allicin doesn’t stop at MRSA. It’s been shown to kill a wide range of harmful organisms:

• Bacteria: E. coli, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and more.

• Fungi: Candida, Cryptococcus, Trichophyton, etc.

• Viruses: Preliminary data suggests promising antiviral action.

• Friendly gut bacteria like Lactobacillus are affected only at higher concentrations, making targeted treatment possible.

The Bottom Line

This 2005 report on Allimed™ marks a milestone in natural antimicrobial research. It offers a new hope for those battling long-term, antibiotic-resistant infections. Though more clinical studies are needed, the early evidence is compelling: nature’s pharmacy may already have what we need to combat even the toughest infections.
