Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Garlic's a great product. Pretty sulphorous though if you have any heavy metal problems. You might want to research Threelac more extensively first. Threelac makes a lot of blue-sky promises that generally revolve around not having to change your diet extensively. I tend to take that with a grain of salt because it is the main problem yeast sufferers have to deal with; that being the discipline and mental agony of not eating things that have been comforting for years, to the point of almost being adictive. In general, over the 3 1/2 years it took for me to resolve my problem I've run across threelac many times in different venues. I will say there is the occasional person that says it helps but the vast majority say the opposite. It is very expensive and it contains yeast and acids which are major allergens for many with yeast problems. Of those who have successfully gotten 100% well (including me) it was always dependent on change of lifestyle, mainly that of diet. And it always, always revolves around finding your underlying problem (things like stress, heavy metals, excess refined carbohydrates, excess alcohol consumption, exess simple sugars, long series of antibiotics). While addressing that underlying problem you must also usually help supplement the body areas that manifest inefficiencies due to this underlying problem (adrenal/thyroid fatigue, sluggish liver/kidneys, sludgy colon, poor mineral uptake). Usually the time involved in recovery is directly related to the amount of time the problem has had to fester regardless of what type of supplementation you take. In short you usually eat your way back to good health along with appropriate supplementation. Research, research, research in this age of smoke and mirrors... --- quiltbear <artsquare wrote: > Bee and Fran -- > > I believe I have a " candida problem " , and was > interested in your > advice concerning garlic.
