Yes & No :
It is beneficial to swallow garlic cloves BUT not whole. You should mince the garlic first and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes - other sources suggest more - before you swallow it.
The wait is to allow Allicin to form. Allicin is the powerful anti- bacterial and viral compound in garlic which only forms when garlic has been broken in some way or another. ( i.e chopping, or cutting etc)
Avoid Chewing the Garlic b/c while that does trigger the forming of allicin your saliva contains the enzymes that reduces the potency of Allicin rendering all your work useless.
Therefore, Mince or Chop, Let Stand a few Minutes, Swallow. . .
