Well, have you ever seen someone crunch on a whole garlic bulb in under a minute?
I did.
He was fine after that, thank you.
Well, I wasn’t arguing if it kills people on the spot, but thanks for ruling it out

You are saying that taurine is bad to take if you think you have candida or it is good?Raw garlic initially cured my depression (just one large clove a day with a nut - it burns the ***t out of my mouth otherwise! ) but after a few days I started to feel agitated and paranoid.
It also cured my early awakening. It definitely ***** with me - I had guessed it was straining my kidneys somehow but I'm unsure. Continued use would have lead to me breaking up with my girlfriend probably - genuinely odd psychological effects. I felt better physiologically but mind ****88.
It absolutely works for colds, for me though.
Candida uses up taurine and is only going to thrive in a weak immune system and low stomach acid environment.
My current approach is to use taurine to help magnesium into the cell and recover immune function through diet and exercise.
Restoration of fat soluble and intracellular magnesium (which wiol eventually allow calcium levels to restore) should allow the body to find its own equilibrium. Seems to be the way long term successful people have done it.
I think the manual killing approach may not be the best. The overgrowth is partly helping with undigested food and unbound copper/iron. I have seen people have luck with it though. If you use garlic I would definitely not use it every day.
Note: In times I've had good magnesium status full torso sun has been the most effective thing. I think sun is necessary to be able to stop using taurine, though maybe not.
The **** portion control guy could stop taurine after sun for 7 days or so.

Update: I have been taking 2 gloves of garlic after the last 4 meals now. I feel constipated, but hardly anything else seems to be happening within the gut. Mentally I feel sluggish and spaced out. Tongue is still white.
Why? To clean tongue? I'm looking to eliminate the cause, not to apply a daily band-aid. It's unlikely that the consequences of bacterial overgrowth are purely aesthetic, as the tongue is a good marker of intestinal health.Rinse with pure menthol or mint-essential oil and/or salt.

Wouldn't it work just as well by crushing the garlic straight into a glass of water and stirring a bit?One should use a garlic crusher to crush the garlic, then let it stand 10 min on a table, then mix to it honey, water, or whatever he likes, then swallow it.

You would be diluting both the enzyme and the substance it's about to transform: that would make the process much slower i guess.
And we don't know how soluble in water these 2 substances are.
The reason I asked was because up to this point I had crushed the gloves straight into water, as suggested in the Gut Critters site.
The color of red blood cells changes to black when mixed with allicin.
But thank Grod because:
A study in which participants consumed a large amount of allicin (approximately 90,000mcg) via crushed raw garlic (25 grams; roughly 10 cloves) revealed that neither allicin nor 16 of its daughter compounds could be detected in blood or urine from one to twenty-four hours after consumption. Due to its high reactivity, allicin was shown to be completely metabolized in the liver. If allicin could even make it to the blood where it could be delivered throughout the body, studies have shown that it changes into other compounds within five minutes and may oxidize the blood cells, in the process, causing them to lose their ability to carry oxygen.
“Allicin is not biologically active inside of the body”
Yukihiro Kodera, at the Designer Foods III Symposium: Research Update on Phytochemicals in Garlic, Soy and Licorice held in May, 1994 in Washington, D.C. found the following:
“Under simulated digestive conditions, little allicin was released from a garlic powder which contained both alliin and alliinase. When allicin was mixed with blood, it disappeared very rapidly, and the formation of trace amounts of allylmercaptan and diallyl disulfide were observed. Allicin also converted the hemoglobin in red blood cells to methemoglobin. Furthermore, allicin has been shown to disappear upon contact with the liver; no allicin could be detected in the effluent when allicin was perfused into an isolated liver.”
“Though allicin was considered to be a key compound in garlic in the past, recent scientific findings, including the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of organosulfur compounds in garlic, have revealed that allicin is not biologically active inside of the body…”
Allicin has not been conclusively proven to be responsible for garlic’s known health benefits.
Following are some conclusions drawn about allicin from garlic scientists at the “First World Congress on the Health Significance of Garlic and Garlic Constituents” held in August 1990 in Washington, D.C.:
Contrary to the popular myth that a garlic product must contain allicin to be beneficial, allicin has not been conclusively proven to be responsible for garlic’s known health benefits. Most of the garlic or garlic products that have been based to demonstrate garlic health effects do not contain significant amounts of allicin. (Allicin is an odorous and transient garlic compound.)
About Allicin
Oh by the way, I didn't die.
Question: Does Kyolic contain allicin?
No. Because of its irritating and pungent nature, we have aged our garlic to convert allicin into more stable, odorless and beneficial compounds. Collectively, more than 200 compounds have been discovered in garlic. Many of them are odorless and have demonstrated benefits. Most cultures consume garlic either cooked or aged. These forms possess no allicin and yet have demonstrated benefits for centuries. Allicin doesn’t appear to be necessary and more than 100 studies have confirmed the benefits and safety of our Aged Garlic Extract preparations which are free of allicin.
Blend it. Fresh garlic juice is extremely painful on an empty stomach which might be a sign it's workingWouldn't it work just as well by crushing the garlic straight into a glass of water and stirring a bit?
I think it's well known to dog experts that garlic is poisonous to dogs. As is chocolate. Lots of dog lovers eat garlic and chocolate; they just don't share.Thus, foods containing garlic
should not be fed to dogs.
Very delicious, but no good experiment. Fried garlic has a different effect to raw garlic.Toasted bread + butter fried garlic + cilantro or parsley. Delicious. Good way to make an experiment.
I'd expect effects to take a day or two at least. Personally, I'd suggest starting small - a couple of cloves the first day or two till you see what happens. You can always increase after that if it doesn't bother you too much.Update: I have been taking 2 gloves of garlic after the last 4 meals now.
