ooohhhh...do invest in a juicer. it's one of those handy tools when you're fasting or cleansing of any sort.

i have one (got it for cheap, you can check out garage sales, or your local classifieds for second hand ones) that does both veggies and citrus fruits. i couldn't imagine sqeezing grapefruit by hand during a liver cleanse when i can barely focus after those nasty Epsom Salts !

;-P stinky!

hmmm, i read that today too. i tend to be a skeptic till i see results for myself...the only uncomfortable experience i had with garlic is doing a garlic enema...it made me unusually crampy, but i ended up passing parasites with it.

personally, i won't be doing that again. however, i juice a clove with other veggies and eat it cooked in most of my dishes, all my life, but for some reason i avoid putting garlic in egg dishes. the combo does not sit well with me.

im not slow and have pretty good brain function for someone with a history with substance abuse and occasional fog from candida. if anything i'd like to slow down a bit so i can relax and think less! :-)

Don, I can see why it would slow a pilots response time if they're cleansing. That certainly doesn't qualify it as a poison. The body is just putting its energy into cleansing!!!!

Dr. Beck is correct. There is poison in garlic. It's oxalic acid. What is more interesting is that it is a poison with purpose. Other foods that contain this poison are tea, carrots, beets, chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, parsley, black pepper, dark green leafy vegetables, rhubarb, green, red and yellow peppers, collard and mustard greens, chives,etc.,.....Gee aren't these all known as great antioxidants???? Yes !!!!!! Find out why the poison in these foods is essential to good health.

He refers to oxalic acid as God's chemotherapy.
