    if you were to eat a raw clove of garlic would that make you feel sick?

    No, I can eat raw garlic with no stomach problem. But I am French so…

    i can eat things with garlic in them with no problem

    but if i take a clove of garlic and chew it up and swallow it really fast, or if i crush it in the food processor and swallow it, i get very sick for a few minutes… it feels like i have to throw up, but i can’t

    not a good feeling at all

    garlic is supposed to be good for you but if i’m allergic to it it may be bad for me

    Garlic is poison and kills? Erm, prove it!! I have candida and am trying to go raw. My local health food store clerk suggested I take 3 cloves of garlic (chopped, to release alliin) daily as well as a probiotic and to cut out sugar. Her recommendation did alleviate symptoms but I can’t refrain from sweets. That is too hard for me so I am trying to go raw, gradually, more and more. Garlic helps me get over sickness faster than without so I can’t agree that it is “poison” when it aids in healing. Sometimes experience speaks louder than some nonsense written by someone who doesn’t have a clue. That being said, we can’t believe everything we read. Now, juicing raw garlic made me vomit so I won’t ever do that again because it burns all the way down like liquid fire. On the other hand, I can swallow the chopped garlic with water and I am fine. I find garlic to be an indispensable healing food, personally …

    I didn’t know garlic could be considered as toxic and I am glad I read this thread. I will think twice before having some from now on.

    And I regret that some people are so agressive towards others on this forum. Why that? Every one is free to agree or disagree, this shouldn’t be a problem.

    belikeyeshua- uh, how on earth is water toxic? haha awesome

    great thread btw. i don’t eat garlic and i do agree that its not good for us but is good for us at the same time, depends on circumstance i think!
