Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Here's some information about garlic and precautions. I'd really encourage anyone to check out the first site, though, which also lists the seemingly endless benefits of garlic! To be wise and sensibly cautious, anyone on prescription meds, especially for blood pressure management or blood thinning will want to check out the second link and anyone on anti-HIV therapies would be wise to check the third. in health, rachel~ <A HREF= " http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_interact/0,1661,786,00.ht\ ml " >http://www.herbs.org/greenpapers/garlic.htm</A> Safety Garlic has an excellent safety record and is well tolerated by most people. There is no known toxicity, although it can cause stomach irritation in sensitive individuals. (Taking garlic with food may reduce the chance of stomach irritation.) Use concentrated garlic products with caution during pregnancy; however, food consumption of garlic in pregnancy has a long history of safe use. Garlic in breast milk may cause colic in nursing babies. <A HREF= " http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_interact/0,1661,786,00.ht\ ml " >http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_interact/0,1661,786,00.html </A>Regarding Interaction with prescription meds. <A HREF= " http://www.beingalivela.org/news0801/garlic_0801.html " >http://www.beingali\ vela.org/news0801/garlic_0801.html</A> Regarding garlic supplements and anti-HIV therapies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Thanks for the great links...for sure don't take it on an empty stomach! I pressed it so the juices were right there. It made me throw up once.
