Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 There is no way of getting around the 'garlic odor' problem is there ? I carry a small vial of peppermint oil with me. It has a little dropper in it. Every now and then, throughout the day, I put a drop of it on my tongue and take a swallow of water. It burns a little at first (strong peppermint!), but is harmless and seems to do the trick. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 excellent idea ! The peppermint oil is the only thing that has worked for me. Garlic odor tends to linger forever and constantly resurface and I needed to find something that was handy and would neutralize the smell at a moments notice. There are times I would eat raw garlic, brush my teeth 20 times (well, almost!) and go to work the next day and someone would still smell it and tell me about it. So now I just keep this vial of peppermint oil in my purse. You only need a drop on your tongue and it seems to last for quite awhile.

My MIL gave us a humongous arm load of fresh parsley from her garden. We brought it home, washed it well and then chopped it. Then placed it into the food mill (processor), added olive oil, about 8 dried red chilis and some sea salt and pulverized it all together. Makes a really great spread for crackers, or bread. All natural and all raw. Really wonderful taste and is a great detoxifier too. All that chlorophyll is really good for the body and parsley is just plain good for the kidneys. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 FWIW, Puritan's Pride is the mail order division of Vitamin World, which is owned by Nature's Bounty (NTY on the NYSE). They consistently have high ratings in supplement quality exams. Sharyn, who just joined and hasn't introduced herself yet but will when she slows down for a second From: pam [mailto:peetee1965@...] Parsley seed. Hmmm, sounds interesting. I use to buy vitamins thru Puritans Pride. I still have alot I've yet to tap into. I don't know enough about there quality so I'm hesitant to buy from them again. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi Pam, I've looked through that Puritan's Pride catalog, and stuff in there is pretty cheap, so I'm thinking that that is exactly what you will get - cheap stuff - with lots of fillers and other undesirable ingredients. Most supplements are built down to a price so people think it's affordable, except most don't do anything because they are all made from isolated ingredients or synthetic ingredients that do absolutely nothing for you. You end up with very expensive pee! Instead, find high-quality wholefood supplements that your body will actually recognize as food.

The seed goes into the stomach where it does its job. Most bad breath is a result of foul odors from the stomach and not the mouth. However, when eating raw garlic or onions you will have a foul smelling mouth too. The more one cleanses ones body, inside and out, the better it smells inside and out. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

This is > what I take but would like some opinions. > Anne =--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= wheat germ oil is a very good source of Vit E. Never use the dl- form of Vit. E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) as it is synthetic and useless. Use on the d- form or d-alphatocopherol. There are 4 types of natural Vit. E and d-alpha is the most bioactive of the 4. The other three are dl-beta-tocopherol, dl-gamma-tocopherol and delta-tocopherol. Only dl-alpha-tocopherol is synthetic. The other dl forms are natural. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Has anyone actually cured a yeast infection with yogurt (eating it)? There is such a minute amount of acidophilus in it that I can’t imagine that it would do anything. Carol -----Original Message----- From: Candace Podratz [mailto:CandaceAndBrock@...] Oh! I was wondering because my SIL said something about her OBGyn telling her to EAT plain yogurt when she had a yeast infection and I was thinking " are you sure she didn't mean DOUCHE with it? " but wasnt' going to say anything so stupid. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 The only way to PERMENANTLY avoid these infections is chanaging your diet, remove carbs/sugar. I agree the sugar has GOT to go. I found the best oral antidote for yeast overgrowth is grapefruitseed extract. It tastes horrible but it does the trick. 15+ drops in a glass of water about 3 times a day, eliminate the sugar and the yeast dies off.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I open an empty capsule, using a syringe, syringe the 15 drops into the capsule and cap it. That sounds like a plan. I always tell people that I'm so used to drinking disgusting tasting stuff that nothing fazes me anymore. I don't know which is worse....GSE or wheatgrass juice. Powdered Ester-C is right on their heels;-). If I don't drink them down really fast I gag in the middle. Buying some capsules this week! Thanks!
