Garlic

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bee and Zack. I guess this one I'm going to have to figure

out. If I take raw garlic, I just am too self conscious about it.

I have been told you should not eat any sprout thats in the center

(they are light green) or you will " smell " .

Ive also been told that if you eat enough of it you wont smell

anymore. The latter came from my eagle scout son.....who used garlic

for skeeter repelant - for what its worth.

Personally, at 46, and married mom of 6 in the country....there are

alot worse smells than good ol garlic )

[Guest guest]

Funny Dona, lol. But I'm single and live in the city.....come to

think of it, I guess there are a lot worse smells here too! Maybe

I'd blend right in, lol.

I really cannot stand the taste of garlic. The only way I can get it down

is to cut it into little bits (I can't get it down if I crush it). Then, a

few bits at a time, stick them in the back of your tongue and swallow them

with water.

Hi all,

there was a discussion going on about garlic and its negative impact

research on the amazing health benefits of garlic.

Could anyone please shed some light on this???

why do you believe i have a week immune system, i mean i did eat the garlic

on an empty stomach. and about lifestyle change, well i dont have one. i do

believe my immune system must be shot by now since i had candida over 11

years.but anyway after 20 min. of eating the garlic all the pain went away and i

started to actually feel good in all my parts of my body. i will definitly

continue

eating garlic. thanks.

Food allergies can be pretty bad. If I eat onions (raw are much worse)

I get blisters in my mouth then my stomach and intestines hurt for

days. Too much garlic also does the same thing for me especially raw.

Eat the fresh garlic with food, not on the empty stomach (with a

steak, for instance).

Eat as much as you can bear, not a big quantity now and none tomorrow.

The question is: do you want to get rid of candida?

If you want to get rid of candida, you must eat garlic on a daily

basis. At least that's what I've done for one month and a half.

You can also take garlic suplements which won't make your stoach

suffer so much probably (I don't know if they can replace the fresh

garlic though, as I combines the two - breakfast, dinner: capsules,

evening - fresh garlic with a steak).

You must also change something in your lifestyle, something that you

believe that weakened your immune system.

garlic's goodies by having it raw and crushed.

Sounds like severe die-off of bad guys in your GI tract causing " traffic

congestion. " You may have killed too many at once. Are you taking fiber

and probiotics?

-- [ ] garlic

I have ramped up my garlic consumption this week. I have eaten about 6-

8 cloves per day. I did not eat them raw, but I added them at the last

minute to sauteed vegetables, and I know the garlic just got warmed

through. I have had really bad bloating and edema since then. Could

the new garlic I have added contribute to my problems? I also have a

burning sensation in my gut. It feels tight and I cannot totally

evacuate my bowel as I have been doing prior to this week.

[Guest guest]

Yes, I agree with Ken that you may have killed off a

lot of stuff at once. That happened to me this year

when I started to eat raw garlic. Before adding the

raw garlic, I was having very good, well-formed,

regular bowel movements. After the garlic, I got

bloated and the bowel movements practically came to a

standstill. I had to do enemas to get things going

again, but the stuff I saw come out. . . Ick! After

that experience, I now believe what Jensen and others

have written that just because you're having what

looks like good bowel movements, doesn't mean that

stuff isn't still getting hung up in there. The other

thing that amazed me about it is I've been very

careful with my diet now for the past 6 years. I

thought surely I'm pretty clean inside. I was

obviously wrong. Enemas and/or colonics might help

you clear up the congestion.

OK, maybe this sounds stupid, but how do you actually crush it? Squeeze it

with the garlic press, use the flat part of the knife...

Isn't just chewing the whole (or sliced) clove enough? Technically, it does

get crushed in the mouth, or not?

I love garlic, and I love eating it in any form, just wondering...

Jasmina

[Guest guest]

I guess you could do it either way, but I use a garlic press. That way I

can mix it up with whatever food I'm eating. I find that the garlic stings

my mouth too much if I just chew it whole.

Hi Jasmina,

no need to overthink this...all of those ways will crush a garlic

clove. Do what works for you. Personally I use the flat of a knife.

The reason to crush it is to start the release of the allicin-the

beneficial part of the garlic.

I chop it, crush it in garlic press, mix with Tbsp olive oil & drink it down

or off spoon. Mixed in salad with olive oil, salt, lemon dressing is good

way too.

Several of us have found that organic garlic produces far less smell than

the non-organic kind. Tastes better, too IMO. Maybe give that a try.

Not early on in the program. Coconut has some sugar in it. Coconut oil

does not.

What do you all do about the smell?

==>Like Zack said the certified organic garlic doesn't create as much

odor on your breath - I found the tiny purple garlic was best. Suz

suggested parsley, but you can also chew on fennel seeds, which might

be easier to carry with you in a little container. Or you can take

Kyolic Garlic to avoid the smell altogether - take according to

directions on the bottle.

> Also, would eating small amounts of fresh coconut be OK, along with

==>Fresh coconut contains too much sugar for candida.

And with my ulcer would that be a problem? My cycle is ending so

would taking garlic be something i should look into adding at this

problem only it really didnt got away it just got better at times.

A thought can actually create this racing action and i need to

==>Anxiety can certainly cause a racing heart, as well as low

adrenals and other malfunctions throughout the body caused by

candida. The best help is to do the Breathing exercises in the

files, and also to do dry skin brushing and coffee enemas to help

the adrenals and liver - there are files on Dry Skin Brushing and

Enemas.

==>No, because any garlic loses its most important qualities when

cooked or roasted, however it still retains its sulphur, which is one

of 7 macrominerals required by the body.

But making the tea and putting the garlic in the boiling water is okay

right?

I have been having two cups of the tea a day with 2 cloves of garlic and

then having

2 to 3 other cloves crushed with my meals.

okay. You take the boiling water off the heat, add the garlic, etc.

==>No, Les, garlic does not kill good bacteria nor does it counteract

any probiotics. If that were true the Italians and Russians would

have died out eons ago due to candida caused by their large amount of

garlic intake! LOL! Les, remember that there is a lot propaganda

against nature-made foods, herbs & spices and there's tons of false

ideas, lies and deception too, not justa about foods. Believe in

nature and the body and you won't go wrong.

==> SG, the reason you get stomach pains from garlic is because it

kills off candida which also resides in your stomach. The way to

handle it is to always have garlic with proteins and good fats, and

also start with small amounts and only gradually increase them to

minimize die-off symptoms (only increase the amount every 4-5 days

or longer). Even starting with 1/4 of a medium garlic or less is

better than not having it at all. Garlic provides many healthful

benefits besides fighting candida.

The best, Bee

[Guest guest]

The reason why you get the awful pains is because the

candida are dying and causing the pains. That's a

good thing definitely. So you might want to continue

with the garlic, just use tiny amounts and build up

slowly.
