Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have read a free online book about using garlic cleanse followed by probiotics. it's available at http://www.health-science-spirit.com/free- candida.htm. Is this a good approach to follow? The book also recommends following a strict candida diet. Excerpt " Fresh, raw garlic has powerful anti-microbial and especially fungicidal powers. Even in a dilution of more than 1:1000 it kills bacteria and fungi. When garlic is crushed its enzymes form allicin from the stable alliin. Allicin has an active oxygen atom that kills microbes by oxidizing the cell walls. Lactobacilli also tend to kill other microbes with oxygen (from hydrogen peroxide), and therefore are less susceptible to garlic than Candida. To minimize unpleasant reactions, such as headaches, nausea and other gastro-intestinal discomfort it is preferable to take the garlic initially together with a strong laxative. This is called a flush. An effective flush is with a tablespoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) in a large glass of water. Drink some more water afterwards. This leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic microbes with desirable lactobacilli. This must be done in a massive dose 30-60 minutes after each flush; otherwise the unwanted microbes may grow back to full strength after the next meal. Acidophilus culture is used to repopulate the freed-up spaces at the walls of the small intestines, while bifido bacteria are the protective inhabitants of the colon or large intestines. There are also other lactobacteria naturally residing in our intestinal tract. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
