Early in vivo experiments (1913) showed that garlic and its compounds acted against mmors in mice, with similar results obtained by others (Reuter, Koch, and Lawson, in Garlic, pp. 178-186). Not only could mmor growth be inhibited, but alliin as freshly obtained from garlic bulbs and directly injected into rat sarcomas, resulted in reduction and dissipation. Similar results were obtained for intramuscular injections. Others, however, reported otherwise. On the other hand, allicin deactivated ehrlich ascites mmor cells, and also deactivated cells of Yoshida sarcoma (a mammary tumor). Other examples are described in the reference, with the note that fresh garlic neutralizes cancer cell virulence without compromising the immune response, whereby atumals at least become immune to untreated mmor cells.
