This is awesome to get such good advice and to learn from other experiences. I used to eat raw garlic and was feeling good while doing it - this was years ago before I even knew anything about yeast or mercury. But my husband hated it and said I was becoming offensive because of the smell so I went to the supplements - which worked well too. So I think I will add garlic to my meals as often as possible and take the supplements too. No grapefruit seed extract now but oil of oregeno yes. Maybe clove oil later - after a month or so. That sounds like a plan for now. Thanks for your feedback - I really appreciate it.
