Does raw garlic have an adverse effect on the intestinal tract

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am eating raw garlic everyday to help reduce my blood pressure. It

(together with oats) seem to work as my diastolic blood pressure has

reduced from 90 to less than 80. However, I read somewhere that raw

garlic is very powerful and can have an adverse effect on the

intestinal tract. Does anyone have any comments or information on this?

I have been avidly reading this list and have felt that I have not so much

to offer until now )I am very new to the raw food lifestyle and now that it

is cold here...am not so " good " at staying entirely raw either!).

 

On the garlic question though..........

I have read so very much that attributes awesome properties to raw garlic

(including mega doses of it helping to cure cancers of all kinds). If

something speaks against it, my assumptions would be that someone from the

medical

field perceives too great a threat. Do you remember where you read such a

thing?

 

My daughter suffers from time to time with digestive problems. It is never

garlic that seems to cause a flair up! The garlic DOES keep her throat

healthy and it seems to wisk even the nastiest of colds right out of her.

 

Just my own offering here.

Yeah, I think raw garlic is actually good for the intestinal tract; for one

thing, it helps

combat candida yeast which may be present there.
