I would like to know if anybody on here has had a bad experience with
taking garlic supplement? I have mercury toxicity, plus cavitations
and used garlic capsules months ago. I had also used DMSA previously
and did not have a very good round with it, but took garlic after
it. I do not know what happened, but the garlic wrecked total havoc
in me and caused me some of the WORST symptoms and suffering I've
ever known.

I ended up with very very strange symptoms, not to mention enough to
make you want to slit your throat. I ended up with nervous and brain
symptoms, some tremor, racing heart, panic attacks and a strange
feeling in and behind the eyes in the head. My eyesight became over
vivid to wear I was in pain from any outdoor light. I had gut
cramping so bad I ended up in emergency, yet no explanation could be
given. And basically long term effects that I can't seem to rectify.

I have heard that when a person has cavitations that if they take a
supplement containing cystein and methionine in quite high doses,
they can be in ALOT of trouble. This is because the gram negative
anaerobic bacteria from cavitations desulfurate cysteine and
methionine apparently resulting in volatile sulfur compounds,
hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercapton.

I do not know if this is why I had such a severe reaction to garlic,
because apparently garlic contains cysteine and methionine but I
assume it "might". Or that garlic, being a high sulphur supplement
with the allicin etc, mobilised mercury in such a bad way as to put
it into worse and sensitive areas.

I am interested to hear of anybody else's experience with garlic,
good or bad. I personally feel it should never be used. I am not
allergic to garlic either. So whatever it did, has been something to
do wtih the toxins within me and it's simply made things far worse
without any real detoxing.

comments welcome.

Thanks
