Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Patti, I noticed that I feel loads better the day after eating an Indian meal. I feel fresher and there is definitely less joint pain. This could be a coincidence as it happened only three times so far, but it could also be due to the large amounts of turmeric in the food. Dr Kolb recommends turmeric as part of detoxing. Any ideas how to eat it? I tried it in warm milk with honey and it is ok unless there is too much turmeric, then it gets bitter and quite disgusting.

It does burn when eaten raw, so you kinda have to get used to it. I buy it at the grocery store and just eat it raw--I am not too excited about the chopped stuff in the jar, as I am not sure the allicin is still active, and that is what kills the bacterias and fungus in us. When I want to get it down fast, I just peel it and then cut it into pill sized pieces and swallow them like pills. I can get down quite a bit of garlic this way. Here are some of my other ideas, which almost always involve peeling and cutting into smaller pieces: --lightly chew the clove to break it up, and swallow with orange juice, or some other juice. -- eat it with hummus and pita bread, putting a cut clove on each piece of dipped bread --eat it with a grilled chicken breast, bite by bite with the chicken. The garlic and chicken together taste great! I've also done this with some nitrite free chicken and pesto sausages I found at Trader Joes, and you can't even taste the burn of the garlic. Just adds zest to it. --I make a caesar's salad and make my own dressing with the raw garlic. My favorite recipe is listed in the recipes folder, under the database section on the website. --Using my garlic press, I press a clove or two (or three!) into a cup of organic chicken broth and sip it, making sure to eat the little chunks. --eat the garlic with bread and cheese, like feta I've also bought picked garlic cloves and garlic stuffed olives at Trader Joes, those were pretty good, but I want to be careful of all the sodium, too. Pickled stuff in excess can contribute to stomach cancer, so I don't eat those very often. Once in awhile they taste pretty good though! As for how often I take it, that totally depends on what social engagements are coming up, but when I am feeling bad, I really try to take it every day. It is not always possible, but I figure if I can have 8 hours when I won't be around someone then I can fit it in. But my husband tells me he can smell it on me! Nobody else gets as close as he does, tho, so I don't worry about it too much. I have had some embarassing moments, that's for sure, I know I've stunk like garlic bad at times. According to my research, I've heard that 12 cloves a day is considered to be a therapeutic dose. All I can say is that you better have some really good friends if you can stick to that! Here's the link to my research on garlic, in the files section, under Healing Therapies, Garlic: http://f5.grp.fs.com/v1/MMMJP6EcAkPwBZ3JlVA2j4Rpa7Hs3k7X58PLlYg7nGR33R1l-HgaWSRnOEnEYieRzy68CRJ_dvBCBem3/Healing%20Therapies/Garlic%20and%20Reducing%20Your%20Viral%20Load...Naturally Hope this helps, .

Do you buy it from the produce department or do you get the already chopped up stuff in a jar? Do you chew it or just swallow it? A girlfriend brought over a jar of chopped garlic for me yesterday and I "swallowed" down a teaspoonful. Don't know if that'll do anything for me..............?????

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Tumeric is one thing that I have no idea how to get alot of. I have an Arabic recipe that my family loves, but it only calls for one teaspoon in the whole pot of machbous, so I know that isn't going to do much. I'm not sure how else to get it, except to fill empty capsules with the stuff and just take it like an herb pill.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I too have started taking turmeric regularly because it is said to be helpful with psoriasis. I get the turmeric from the supermarket in the herbs and spices section, or - and this is cheaper - by weight from the Oriental Grocery Store. Also I fill my own empty vegan capsules which I get from the healthshop.Some I fill with cayenne pepper and take one of those to six of the turmeric. Hope this is helpful. It certainly saves me heaps. Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
