I’ve heard that Yeast infection actually never completely disappears from one’s body:( I had yeast infection plenty of times and the only thing that helps me relieve symptoms are tablets sold in regular drugstores. I never tried garlic so it’s a good idea. Just I wonder how should I take it, I mean, do I really need to eat it raw, as is? It’s not of my favorite foods and it smells…you know…but for the sake of good health, I should give it a try.
You can add garlic as a spice to your food, or try different garlic supplements. You may be interested in Dr Christopher’s Herbs Formulas or Kyolic supplements.
It’s not that Yeast or Candida Infection never disappears. As it was mentioned in the post, you always have colonies of Candida in your body but your normally functioning immune system is able to control their growth and “performance”. So maybe this was what you’ve heard so far. Thank you for your comment.
