Garlic Is Not a Treatment for Nephritis
This is perhaps the most important lesson from the entire story.
Garlic is food.
It is not a cure for kidney inflammation.
There is no good reason for someone diagnosed with nephritis to stop medical treatment and attempt to treat the condition by eating garlic.
Depending on the type and cause of kidney inflammation, medical treatment may be necessary to prevent serious complications.
Ignoring appropriate care could allow kidney damage to progress.
Therefore:
Garlic cannot be assumed to reverse kidney damage.
Garlic should not replace prescribed medication.
Garlic should not replace medical monitoring.
Garlic should not be treated as a guaranteed cure for inflammation.
