My understanding of garlic is to allow to rest for 7 - 9 mins for best results, not 10 -15 mins . You are the only person I've heard to make that claim.
I've been eating raw garlic for decades, and blood is thin. been a type one diabetic when giving blood nurses, always ask what blood thinners you are taking, and I say none only garlic .you can also chops clove and rest for 7-9 mins and swallow with warn water, so no garlic aromas on your breath .
