What science says

compound effect

“Selenium (Se) has been shown to counteract the toxicity of heavy metals such as ... thallium”

selenium → counteracts → thallium toxicity

Selenium in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning and chemical carcinogenesis.1992

compound effect

“On T. gallinarum, the minimal lethal concentration (MLC) at 24 hours was 0.25 microliter/ml for C. aromaticum oil, and 0.125 microliter/ml for C. limon and A. sativum oils. On H. meleagridis, MLC was 0.5 microliter/ml for C. aromaticum oil and 1 microliter/ml for C. limon and A. sativum oils at 24 and 48 hours.”

Allium sativum oil → has minimal lethal concentration (MLC) of → 0.125 microliter/ml for T. gallinarum and 1 microliter/ml for H. meleagridis at 24 and 48 hours

compound effect

“One gram of onion added to the food of rats inhibits significantly (p < 0.05) bone resorption as assessed by the urinary excretion of tritium released from bone of 9-week-old rats prelabeled with tritiated tetracycline from weeks 1 to 6”

onion (Allium cepa L.) → inhibited → bone resorption
