Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi Em, Garlic contains certain substances which some people believe are " helpful " . Therefore they state that garlic is helpful. Among these substances are those that can kill ... that are antibacterial and/or antifungal in nature. Those that hold these properties to be " helpful " believe in treatment of symptoms, rather than in correction of the cause of whatever ails us. I believe otherwise, and therefore I do not hold these substances to be helpful, but rather a means of destroying life. I choose to affirm life at every available opportunity ... life of every conceivable size and type. In addition, garlic definitely contains substances that are overtly harmful to us. How long must one wait, after eating garlic, for one's body to do into overdrive getting rid of the stuff? Seconds, at most. Make sense?

I love both and had no idea that garlic would be harmful I have always used a great deal of garlic in cooking. Thats very interesting info.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 E, oh don't worry-I'm pretty quick at getting things-I think that is why I was in shock because it is something that intuitively made sense in my gut but my head is struggling with it. I bring cookbooks into bed to read and garlic has been a favorite companion in the kitchen Now I guess I will bring uncookbooks to bed. btw it made so much sense to me that i didn't have coffee today-it was a logicalleap. Now having made soups for years with many cloves of garlic-for the family...esp when they are sick- and my family all 6 of us love it -hmmmm that is also the difficult part I can't imagine not preparing foods without it guacamole for instance ...anyway after that post I googled it a bit and also started thinking of it as a form of chemotherapy if that makes sense- thanks Emrawfood , " Elchanan " <Elchanan wrote: > > Hi Em, > > Garlic contains certain substances which some people believe are " helpful " . > Therefore they state that garlic is helpful. > > Among these substances are those that can kill ... that are antibacterial > and/or antifungal in nature.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yes I didn't and I'm ok! :-) but then I didn't go on the bike-I will try that tomorrow as for garlic like I said-I am not 100% sure but will let it go for me see what changes it will bring after a month or so Serving bland food to the family ...well I might have a mutiny -yet most of my kids can cook-even the 10 year old so they can also take care of themselves for a bit. Actually i am going to skip red onions on salad-i was eating those because i thought they were good for me but I burp them up all afternoon. I am drinking quite a bit of water-I think because i am skipping coofeee and husband made it today and I still didn't haveit Dancing with you!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Neal, I'm sorry I introduced ginger into the mix...I have thought of that as healthful for years. I just took the advice and decided to go with it for a bit (and started wondering about other stimulating spices that I have used such as ginger & cayenne) ....I'm not sure when I would quit-as I have several bulbs of garlic and don't want to throw them out. I have been having some stomach problems but they could be from some green smoothies I am having,they could be from a number of things anyway I think my other post to you better explains how I view this advice as for your not being polite-I am not totally sure who you are adressing that too-but I for one think you are very polite and thoughtful in your responses The garlic think for me took me for aloop. I have been cooking vegan & vegetarian and then eplored into the weston price sally fallon land from there I came out with methods to soak grain and some really good bean dishes also and fermented foods...and some info about biodynamic farming...but I digress it's interesting that for me I have more of a reaction to garlic and onions when I have more raw food in the diet so... just what does that mean? btw I have never had pilss/antacids I just go through the experience of indigestion if it happens which it has been more often lately As for urine therapy-well I have not looked into it-but I have heard that rinsing ones face with your own urine is good for the complexion well as George Sheehan has said we are all experiments of one and no btw I know for a fact there are no convenient boxes I fit in My MIL has been trying for years to find one! :-D Em > mixing garlic and ginger has? > > also I cannot find a polite way to express my response to advice that proposes > anti-fungal and anti-bacterial substances are harmful.

You would not continue to live for very long without them! The urine is rich in these which is why it is so healthful. It is the body's natural defense against harmful bacteria and fungae. This is why I suggest find out for yourself, read as widely as possible. It is not good being locked into a single narrow view. We are all different, all unique, we don't fit into convenient boxes. please note that urine therapy has a 4000+year history of successful and miraculous use of millions and millions.
