I am wondering how well I'm killing these yeasties...my detox seems so mild--I feel GREAT...sometimes tired, but I love the more stable moods, clearer mind, and energy...baby has resumed his long naps (3 hours in the afternoon) and earlier bedtime (6 or 7) for 12 hours.

I think it was the lack of fat I was getting for awhile...I think the quinoa and millet (and now garlic, it appears) are making some good milk, too.

I'm enjoying some soupy quinoa...I added butter, cinnamon, French Vanilla Stevia, & coconut milk and it reminds me of a tapioca pudding. Even my 7 y.o. boy likes it--guess what's for breakfast tomorrow...

I'm so glad you shared this, IE! I find this so motivating to keep taking it...
...Garlic is the only antibiotic, which at the same time as fighting microbial invaders, also protects the body against poisons produced by infection...
Garlic is a unique antibiotic because it also nourishes beneficial bacteria, since oligosaccharides found in foods such as garlic and onions are prebiotics which selectively stimulate the growth activities of both good lactobacilli, Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria, in the colon, thereby improving health
Garlic also stablilizes blood sugars! YEAH!

One website said Garlic was the number one superfood to combat candida. I have just been dicing one garlic clove per day and taking with water...how about you? I have heard that nursing babies love the taste of garlic.
Are you using apple cider vinegar? I had to stop the kombucha because the sugars were affecting me, even after brewing for fifteen + days.
I am using ACV w/ the mother...no kombucha, per Bea's discussion on it.
I just went up to about 4 cloves/day...I crush them and separate them into swallowable chunks and take it w/ water. I do let them sit 10 minutes before swallowing...apparently that maximizes some good things being released.

I am really missing sugar and bread. I am drinking coffee with a splash of milk. I am not ready to give milk up yet, but I am cutting back a lot on my dairy anyway. I woke up with a headache this morning--die off?? I have been waking up with headaches anyway, so I am still hoping that in the long run, these changes are going to help. We'll see.
I wasn't able to make my yummy salad yesterday because the chicken was frozen. I put it in the fridge, but it is still frozen this morning. . . I may have to wait until tomorrow to start having good salads. Something to look forward to. 
Hi, Dixie! I just enjoyed some sprouted grain bread w/ lots of butter and bonus garlic. Mmm...I rarely have bread anymore and thought I would since I'm foregoing dairy. I'll still drop it Friday when Week 3 starts. I'll still eat buckwheat, millet and quinoa, though, in moderate amounts. That and dairy are hard to give up simultaneously.

I'm hoping your headaches are a result of getting "healthier" and subside soon. Yes, looking forward to salads, LOL, oh, how I have changed!

... My FIL was admitted with a urinary tract infection and pneumonia.....
He has been discharged now and we are all "helping" him keep to a better diet!
I lost a total of 4#'s in the first week! Yehaw! I am hoping for some very steady loss over the next few weeks. I am running out of supplements! I really hope that the yeast is dying and will continue w/o all the supps.
It's good to hear from you, as always, AM25! What an opportunity to help your FIL eat better, as you're doing the same.

I'm so happy for your weight loss...will you still have garlic? Any fatty supplements? Those seem to be the basic ones for now...
Thanks, herbalmom!
