Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Patty, I am really really glad to hear that your doing better finally, I hope that it lasts and that you will finally get rid of the awful brain fog. I think there is still hope for us all, and when I look back at how awful I felt when I still had my implants I know that I took the right advise and did the right thing for my health by removing them. I am also blessed that my husband is so supportive and loving and how he tells me my breasts are beautiful and all that ...it means alot. I realize my breasts will never be huge or voluptuous but they are small and fit the rest of me, and these new gel bras are great, even better than the waterbras these things bounce like real boobs are look so great under tight slinky tops. I feel fantastic about how I look in them. I am back on the supplements and will give them a good go again before I take a break from them. I really want to try the NADH but I haven't been able to find it around here yet. Well, just wanted to say that I think it is great all the hard work you have put into this site and how much I look forward to reading these posts everyday.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi Patty, Have you tried cookin the garlic pods in a light white wine sauce? My son has a marvelous recipe for cooking the complete pods in some kind of light wine, which is wonderful, as you don't get the "social affects", etc. However, I wonder if any of the beneficial aspects are destroyed in cooking them!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Patty I'm so happy you are doing well. There are actually 2 things you can do to minimize or eliminate the garlic odor. You can chop your garlic up very fine and wash it down with a glass of water without chewing it as that is what releases the odor or you can buy Breath Assure which is a parsley and oil capsule that works wonders for your breath. You might try both. Just a thought. Good luck!
