     Sa ikatlong aklat ni Walker (na kapwa nila sinulat ng dalubhasa sa preventive medicine na si Dr. John Parks Trowbridge), ang katas ng bawang din, aniya, ang pinakamahusay na panlaban sa sakit na nakukuha mula sa lebadura (yeast).

     In the third book of Walker (which was co-written by the preventive medicine expert Dr. John Parks Trowbridge), garlic extract, according to him, is also effective against diseases caused by yeast.
