Natural Antifungals and Good Bacteria

[Guest guest]

http://www.all4naturalhealth.com/health-benefits-of-garlic.html"Another great advantage garlic has over drugs is that it only selectively destroys harmful microorganisms in the body, leaving the good and friendly bacteria untouched, and even allowing them to thrive. This is extremely important because prescribed drug antibiotics often wipe out the good bacteria in a person’s body, leaving him or her susceptible to problems such as digestive ailments, infections,candida yeast overgrowth, etc." I did some research on whether VCO also kills good bacteria a while back, and my conclusion was that natural antifungals/bacterials are selective in what they kill, and only kill the harmful ones. This makes sense to me anyways, since us, and our bacteria, and our foods are probably all meant to live in harmony. I doubt the very first people to eat probiotic rich foods worried about if they ate garlic or VCO with them. So since I mainly focused on VCO last time, I looked for some garlic info, and found this link. It looks like you should be fine eating NATURAL antifungals along with good bacteria.Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Azathioprine 50 mg 1x per day
