Arabic medicine, or Arab-Islamic, mainly refers to all developments achieved in the Age of Khalifs, or the Golden Age of the Arab-Islamic civilization (ca 7th-14th centuries AD). Arab scholars adopted ancient Greek medicine and soon understood the essence of the fatal disease known as cancer. They introduced various new types of cancer, distinguish...

They were also consumed in mixtures as proposed in the 'Canon of Medicine' by Avicenna [ Figure 1] 'using mineral smears containing millstone dust and whet-stone dust, stone pounder for aromatics and black head stone moisturized with rose oil and coriander water poured on pounder, or dressings with well pounded verjuice'. All the above could be helpful for the clash between human immune system and tumorous growth. ...

... 36 Among natural resources, dietary supplements have additional advantages accepted by patients. For thousands of years, garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been widely used for food consumption and medicinal purposes, particularly in Arabic, 37 Egyptian, 38 Chinese, 39,40 Persian, 41 and Indian 42 traditional medicinal systems. In addition, garlic has been shown to exert its beneficial effects against a broad spectrum of diseases, including cancer, 43 hypertension, 44 hyperlipidemia, 45 obesity, 46 diabetes, 47 bacterial infections, 48 fungal infections, 49 viral infections, 50 parasitic diseases, 51 asthma, 52 immunological disorders 53 and cardiovascular diseases. ...
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a popular spice that is widely used for food and medicinal purposes and has shown potential effects on diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Nevertheless, systematic preclinical studies are still lacking. In this meta-analysis and systematic review, we evaluated the role and potential mechanisms of action of garlic and its derived components in animal models of DKD. We searched eight databases for relevant studies from the establishment of the databases to December 2022 and updated in April 2023 before the completion of this review. A total of 24 trials were included in the meta-analysis. It provided preliminary evidence that supplementing with garlic could improve the indicators of renal function (BUN, Scr, 24 h urine volume, proteinuria, and KI) and metabolic disorders (BG, insulin, and body weight). Meanwhile, the beneficial effects of garlic and its components in DKD could be related to alleviating oxidative stress, suppressing inflammatory reactions, delaying renal fibrosis, and improving glucose metabolism. Furthermore, time-dose interval analysis exhibited relatively greater effectiveness when garlic products were supplied at doses of 500 mg kg-1 with interventions lasting 8-10 weeks, and garlic components were administered at doses of 45-150 mg kg-1 with interventions lasting 4-10 weeks. This meta-analysis and systematic review highlights for the first time the therapeutic potential of garlic supplementation in animal models of DKD and offers a more thorough evaluation of its effects and mechanisms to establish an evidence-based basis for designing future clinical trials.
