Actually I take that back about going on the diet and eating garlic for a week I would probably do it for 2 weeks or longer to make sure. 1 week may be long enough I don't really know how long it would take to cure it, it depends on the person. I just said at least a week because most people can't do it very long if you still go back to the doctor and take Antibiotics you should still do what I said also and it would help a lot. And please take proboitics so you don't get candidasis like I did.
