Re: bad reaction to cloves
It sounds as if you may have a candida overgrowth problem. I have just discovered that this is the cause of many of the symptoms that I have experiences over the years. I have done a great deal of research and am nearly two weeks into a program that I hope will get rid of this problem. This is what I am doing.
I am taking six capsules a day of Solaray Yeast Cleanse, which contains caprylic acid, pau d'arco, grapefruit seed extract and tea tree oil.
One capsule of Udo's probiotics.
At least four crushed fresh cloves of garlic.
A
Bowel Cleanse of psylium, flax and slippery elm powder (one tablespoon).
Half a teaspoon each of
Black-Walnut and
Wormwood .
In addition to this, I am doing a juice fast (mostly celery, carrot and a bit of apple for taste) for a few days at a time to help to clear my system. The rest of the time I am eating mainly raw vegetables, no
Sugar and no grains.
I know this is quite a bit all at once, but I would rather get it over with. I experienced quite a few symptoms in the first few days due to die-off e.g. fuzzy head, aches, tiredness, bloating etc, but then I started passing white cottony stuff (presumably yeast) and have been feeling much better with the occasional relapse.
I hope that this does the trick, as I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling 'a bit under the weather'.
I did consult an experienced practitioner about this combination and intend to keep it up until I am free of symptoms.
I hope this helps.
