Re: Garlic and Probiotic question..Re: Probiotics, AND...Re: I think this is die-off, but not sure- also question about ordering, thx:)

1) Does the store bought white garlic have any value? This is the kind I've been pretty much taking (i.e the easiest for me to find) Should I be searching out organic? Is the purple tinted one any different?  Yes, commone grocery store garlic has value...just far less than a quality organic.  So I'd find organic if at all possible.  If not...  Typically a "good" organic clove of garlic is as big as the end of your thumb (we've seen a few almost twice that big), but the common non-organics are much smaller.   I just measured around the entire head (circumference) of one of ours, and it's almost 8 1/2".  So, If you have to use smaller, then make sure to adjust how many you take.

2) I can take probiotic foods WHILE I'm cleansing, and not solely AFTER I have cleansed my colon right? I have read so many variations on this, and I assume since we are talking 'food based' probiotics, that I shouldn't worry.  YES! DEFINITELY take all the probiotic foods & fluids/juices you can WHILE cleansing, every day!  Just remember that some compromised folks need to 'work up' to bigger amounts.  For example, I typically have an 'iron stomach' (and other than a couple-three years with IBS symptoms before my first good cleanse), I've been blessed to be 'gut issue free'.  I can drink 8oz of Water Kefir without feeling/sensing much of anything, but with my first batch of milk kefir I had about 1/2 cup, and within 15-20 minutes actually felt some gentle cramping and lots of 'gut activity' (which I imagine would have registered on the 'pain scale' for most)...but I recognized it to be a 'goodness sensation'.  The next day I had 3/4 cup and it just felt 'warm & good'.  A couple of days later I'd made 6 cups of peach/banana/honey 'kefir yogurt' (and realized I couldn't find my 1 cup jars), so I put it into pints.  The next day I opened one, and while eating at the 'puter "accidentally", at the whole thing.    Yep, about 5 hours later I had that "emergency waddle" to the toilet happening.  Amazingly, it wasn't watery diarrhea, but very soft  'curds' (but LOTS of them).  

Most sites I've read suggest starting in FAR lower quantities.  And I've seen a few sites that say the store-bought milk-kefir is not something you want to depend on (in tests, there's hardly any "alive" microbiota).  Making your own (organic raw milk is best) IS best.

Thanks so much! I think we all have our 'candida fill' for tonight, lol;)  Filler 'er up :)  There's no such thing as too much knowledge - I keep learning more & more every day (I'm diggin' in deep to 'dirty electricity' & EMFs every spare minute).

Heal ON!
