Re: Garlic capsules .. Will?

<<I picked up some garlic capsules yesterday (1000 mg) and wondered how many I

can take a day to accomplish a " worming " . I eat a lot of garlic as it is. I love

garlic!

Thanks!

Garlic capsules do not work for worming or for many other things for that

matter. The active garlic ingredient, allicin, takes about 10 minutes after

peeling to reach its peak and is totally dissipated after 3 hours. (If you've

ever chopped a clove of garlic that has had the peel penetrated on the globe

when you chopped it, you know that it has no 'garlic' flavor.) Fresh, raw,

garlic provides successful worming. If you've been eating lots of garlic,

you've been wormed. On the bowel cleanse list there are several members

who have recently done worming with raw garlic (at least 2 cloves a day,

recommended) and have seen the worms expelled as a result. Recognize though

that there are some worm eggs that raw garlic does not kill and the raw garlic

routine should be continued long enough for those to develop into worms.

Neysa, good work on the worm accounting. It does sound like you found

Ascaris L. the Giant Roundworm and possibly some intestinal flukes. If there

was a " ribbed " look you may have passed a tapeworm (which consists of a

head and dozens or hundreds of segments) and there are many types of

tapes, some from fish, pork, beef or other sources. Quite often, the last

segments, " proglottids " , drop off and crawl away, if they can, like an

inchworm. Each segment is just a big sack of worm eggs. If they hatch they

must go through an intermediate host.

It's possible you contracted parasites in foreign travel. Have you been to the

Orient, India, or other 3rd World Countries? If you get any more specimens,

an accurate diagnosis from a lab would tip you off where you picked them up.

The Giant Roundworm can easily plug up the bile or pancreatic duct or even

the entire intestine in severe cases. The symptoms of the former would

mimic gallstone occlusion. People can actually vomit the occasional worm up.

I use GARLIC primarily as a deterrent to getting worms but also to prevent

reinvestation from new crops of larval worms migrating from inside the body.

Then I use the other herbal purgatives for removal of active nests of worms.

Garlic is particularly good at PREVENTING WORMS from attaching to the gut

wall. Garlic is also good for FILARIAL diseases (heartworm) or PROTOZOAL

diseases such as amoebic dysentary, giardia, or Lyme disease. Since the

herb repells mosquitoes, bedbugs, lice and ticks there are huge advantages

in taking it especially if you feel you will be prone to infestation on a trip,

this is

particularly valuable with West Nile in our country.

I use the 1500 mg Garlic oil capsules and take 2 capsules 1-3 times a day

depending on exposure. Best of all, my wife and I cook with devastating

amounts of garlic in our cooking. Raw garlic is the most powerful but also the

most difficult on the digestive system (to the uninitiated). We also use a B-50

multi-B vitamin when in mosquito or tick areas. This is 50 mg or mcg of all the

major B's. You may get a " niacin flush " on your face which isn't really harmful.

Thanks for all for bringing up this important topic,

I think this reply was meant for me, Tina. <G>

> If there

Yes the flat one was certainly ribbed.

> It's possible you contracted parasites in foreign travel.

The countries I have been to are UK, France, Malta and the US. I

hate to admit it now, but I used to eat raw pork as a child. (I have

recently banned pork in my house). I just figured as 90% of

Americans are reported to have parasites, I was one of those.

I was going to photograph it, but then thought the idea of that was

too gross. Had I been a different type of homeschooler I might have

let the kids dissect it!

> People can actually vomit the occasional worm up.

Interesting you should say this. On Saturday night I was asleep and

was woken coughing and choking. It lasted a long time, I couldn't

breathe and it was very scary. At the time I wondered if anything

was trying to get out.

The round worm was really in two sections with a kind of bubble in

the middle. One section was translucent and the other section had

the black inside of it.

My body has really gone through some detox this weekend. I'm now

covered with acne, and I'm sure it's because of what happened at the

weekend.
