Thank you for this extensive post! I'd say I concur pretty much save for the garlic part. I've watched some vids saying it is not a food and that it should be avoided. Come to think of it, maybe there's a reason it smells / tastes the way it does. And maybe there's something to it that in the Dracula myth the vampires hate it like poison... Or is it all conspiratarded – have you looked into it? Cheers
