I don't have any suggestion on how many to eat a day, though I hear some people get up yo 10. All I have to say is you may want to start slow. I don't know how far along in treatment you are but if you still have a heavy bacteria load then eating garlic may cause a herx reaction. I'm about 10 months into treatment and I notice certain reactions when I eat just a clove in a day. I get floater in my vision and I get a flare up of my heart issues.

Thanks for the reply, i ended up eating 5 cloves and i feel pretty terrible, sweating all over and shakiness, increased pressure on body, gonna take some activated charcoal for detox.

Hi Vgrantn -

I agree - not sure what to recommend although I know people do eat a lot of raw garlic. I used to - loved it.

You're definitely experiencing a die off of - whatever - garlic has so many antipathogenic functions so that's all good. I would increase water, definitely incorporate a binder and maybe slow down a little bit, work up to higher doses a little more slowly, detoxing as you go.

bumping for more views and hopefully more responses.

Pirouette,
I've heard people talk about binders but I am not familiar. What does a binder exactly do and what are some examples? Hoping this may help be with some herxing I experience. Thank you.

Garlic can cause lots of GI symptoms if you are not used to it. I worked up to it and I do about 5 cloves a day. But when I first started it gave me diarrhea. Cleaned me out good.

Go low and slow, meaning a low dose and slowly working up - just as you would do with anything!!
