It is most effective in it's raw, crushed state...crushing is important to release the volatile, healing oils (allicin) within. This is from Bee's article " How To Successfully Overcome Candida " To obtain the most benefit from garlic buy " certified organic " garlic and crush it with the flat of a broad knife, or put it through a garlic press. Crushing breaks the cell walls releasing and mixing garlic's beneficial properties. Exposed to air, allicin converts to diallydisulphide, which is a powerful bactericide and fungicide (also effective against many viruses). In addition, garlic contains vitamins A, B and C. Raw Garlic Dose: To kill off Candida overgrowth start with 1 average sized raw clove per day in order to minimize " die-off " symptoms, and gradually increase it to 4 or 5 cloves per day, mixed in foods or taken with meals. Garlic can also be taken as tea, and garlic tea can be used in douches or enemas. hope this helps, jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Garlic is by far my favorite antibiotic (bacteria,fungi,viruses,parasites). When treating intestinal dysbiosis I like to eat(chew) at least 9 cloves of raw garlic a day and divided into 3-4 doses.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Eating raw garlic can be a challenge. It does burn, but there are ways to lessen the burn, and even enjoy eating this amazing herb! The Greek way: Eating it bite by bite with chicken. This is my favorite way. It's a great combination. With hummus and pita bread. Again, another great combination, and the hummus helps to tone down the burn. Crushed into a cup of hot, steaming chicken broth. Mmmm, especially good on a cold day. Crushed into olive oil with also has been sprinkled with italian seasoning, then dip bread into the olive oil. Just like they serve at Italian restaurants for an appetizer. We always ask for a cup of crushed garlic to add to our plate of oil, and we make sure we eat that garlic. (you might have to chase it around a little to get it on your bread!) With cheese, or a cream cheese based dip, and whole wheat crackers. (Half a clove on top of the cheese or dip, on top of the cracker). My husband says this brings on more burn for him, though (especially feta cheese). It helps to swig some juice or lemonade to tone it down. Crushed in Caesar's salad. My favorite recipe for this is in the database under recipes, and our whole family loves this salad. We eat it often. The dressing is a breeze to make, taking only about 5 minutes. If I want to get down a bunch of garlic in a hurry, I chop it into bite sized pieces and then quickly chomp on each piece once or twice with my molars to quickly crush it first, and then I wash it down right away with some juice or tea. I can get down a full day's quota of raw garlic quickly this way. It's not like I savor the flavor though! This is just totally to get it in me! Pasta and garlic are also a great combination. Anita writes: " crush the garlic with a garlic crusher and scoop it up into a capsule then swallow them with lots of water. Also, it helps if you do this after eating to prevent it from burning your stomach. " The therapeutic dose is up to 12 cloves of raw garlic a day.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 One more point I forgot to make. It's best to chop the garlic and let it sit for about 10 minutes to let the allicin develop before you consume it. (contact with oxygen will set the enzyme reactions going.)

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 , It's hard to say about continuing with the kefir. If you just started drinking it recently and this is your first bladder infection from it, then I would back off until you can get that burning and urgency and pain under control. Then you can add it back in slowly and stay attuned to what your body is doing with it. If you start to feel the burning again, cut back-- you don't have to stop it completely, just cut back and let your body tell you when it is ready for a larger amount at one time. Here is that recipe for Caesar's salad: Caesar's Salad (My favorite, with all natural ingredients) 1/2 c. olive oil 2-3 cloves garlic 2 T. lemon juice 4-5 anchovy fillets 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded 2 cups fresh croutons (I skip the croutons now) 1/3 c freshly grated parmesan cheese Combine olive oil and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice and anchovies. Place romaine lettuce in large mixing bowl, and pour dressing over, mixing to coat leaves. Add parmesan cheese. Add croutons just before serving. 5 minutes! > > > > > > Eating raw garlic can be a challenge.
