As most of you may know, I've recently been really ill. The end result of burning the candle at both ends was a horrible sinus infection and bronchitis. The good news? When I went to the doctor, he told me my liver problems were gone! I told him I was on a liver detox, and he replied, what ever I'm doing, keep it up. My liver was going down at a rapid rate for the past 8 months......
Any who! Back to my lungs and nostrils....
The doctor put me on a really strong antibiotic, because of my past history of diabetes. (A1c really low, 4.9. You diabetics know what that means!) And along with having the "sugar" and antibiotics, I was afraid of the dreaded..... Yeast! (SCREAMING!) I decided to do my home work as always and be proactive. The pharmacist told me that I can start taking a probiotic daily, which I already do. I take the kind that you only have to take one pill a day. Well, I decided to take a probiotic every time I take the antibiotic. Here we are on day 7 and I am still good to go! No concerns at all! But again, had to have a back up. I have Monistat cream, but that goes on my scalp to promote hair growth. (Don't judge me). So I researched an all natural alternative and I found garlic. Now, in my ignorance, I thought I just had to eat a clove of garlic a day. No ma'am. That's not where it goes. You take a clove of garlic, take off the paper husk, insert it in a piece of gauze, and oh so gently, and lady like, squat and place it in your nether regions. Now you do this every day for three hours a day until the symptoms disappear, which is quite rapidly. To further test this theory, I put yeast in a bowl with sugar and warm water. I let it marinate and be happy, then I dropped in a clove of garlic. Killed the yeast so fast, I didn't get a chance to say good bye.....
So far, I haven't had to do this, but as you all know, I am not a shy flower. If it must happen, you will all hear about it.
What do you think? Would you use garlic?
