HI THERE,
I have been researching the garlic treatments as well and have been trying to find a product that is actually working and is cheap... With Sulma's help I could find on internet, but it takes lots of time and postal charges for delivery in Canada.
I found one product that says "Premium Standardized and Certified Garlic - Ail 1500 mg."
I also found this comparison on a UMM web site (how to take the garlic)
- http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/garlic-000245.htm:
"Whole garlic clove (as a food supplement): 2 - 4 grams per day of fresh, minced garlic clove (each clove is approximately 1 gram)
Aged garlic extract: 600 - 1,200 mg, daily in divided doses
Tablets of freeze-dried garlic: 200 mg, 2 tablets 3 times daily, standardized to 1.3% alliin or 0.6% allicin. Products may also be found standardized to contain 10 - 12 mg/Gm alliin and 4,000 mcg of total allicin potential (TAP).
Fluid extract (1:1 w/v): 4 mL, daily
Tincture (1:5 w/v): 20 mL, daily
Oil: 0.03 - 0.12 mL, 3 times daily "
I was taking it 2 caps 2x a day mainly after Sulma's suggestion to nuke the yeast... I didn't feel it was working, so I took an advice from an old grany for stronger effects... (I have to admit, back then I didn't believe in the "cure" she advised me of... now I am willing to try anything): I am using the garlic caps as suppositories and guess what: the yeast is coming out as crazy. I just don't know how long I can take this vaginal and rectal itchiness. I am tempted to take a doze of a nystatin pill but I don't know if it will make it better or worse...
