How to eat large amounts of garlic and...

Hi Aylin,

For almost a year now we have chopped up anywhere from 8 to 12 cloves of garlic and eat it by the spoonful and wash it down with distilled water every night before we go to bed!!  Raw is always better.  If we still smell like garlic the next day - oh well!!!  Healing is more important!!!

God bless,

My mom takes garlic everyday as she cannot take cholesterol meds because of her liver mets.  So she takes olive oil and garlic cloves everyday to keep her cholesterol in check, although I am sure her new diet helps with that also.  But she cuts the cloves in half and swallows them like a pill, that way it avoids the stinky breath.  It works well for her.  She does not take it in supplement form as they have too many added bad stuff, and her liver needs to be as free of bad stuff as it can get.  Her Onc. was the one that recommended she take fresh garlic only and not the store bought supplements.

Aylin, Not sure if you're on Femara or not but if you are, garlic doesn't play well with it.  Best wishes!

I seem to recall reading a reference here that warned against taking garlic by supplement, but can't remember what is wrong with doing so. Could it have something to do with how they're made and that they have some estrogenic effect?

I have read that the very best way to take garlic is raw and crushed, with either an implement intended for that use or the flat side of a knife. Supposedly, the most beneficial aspects of the clove is released in the crushing. Lately I've been crushing my garlic and putting it in everything from sauces to pizza topping. I adore it....and so does my bf !

I read an entire story about the research they do with garlic and why they get different results from the studies.  Bottom line, the results were different because garlic needs to get cut up and sit for 15 mins before using it.  It releases something after that amount of time. That's all I remember from the report.

angie, that juice combination sounds good.  I'll give it a try next time I have those ingredients. 

When you juice apples, do you include or exclude the seeds?
