I remember when I started to dislike garlic. I went to this Asian restaurant and ordered the garlic chicken. It must of had all 11 herbs and spices and then some. It was really good. Then I got this strange after taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away. Then the garlic seemed to be seeping through my pores for the next few hours. I was a non-garlic eater after this experience.
I've always known that garlic was good for you. It wasn't until I started to seriously add more superfoods in my diet that all the benefits of garlic became irresistible to me. I didn't like garlic, but I wanted to find a way to get its goodness. I tried OTC supplements, but the effectiveness of those supps is sketchy at best. Then I tried to just shallow whole cloves. I thought that was a good solution until I noticed I left a big chuck of white stuff in the toilet.
After more research I found that it was the mixture of two compounds found in garlic that gives it that pungent smell and its superfood benefits. The garlic has to be crushed or smashed to get these two ingredents working. So I finally discovered how I could take raw garlic without having to suffer the taste.
So how much to take? The World Health Organization recommends as much as possible, but at least 1 clove a day. I wanted to see how much I could take before I started to seep and reap like garlic. I started with one clove, then two, then three with no problem. I keep increasing until I was up to seven cloves at one time. My wife and I went to the grocery store after I had taken the seven cloves. She turned away every time I talked to her. She has always liked garlic, but in the middle of our shopping trip she couldn't take my garlic breath any more. She went to the candy isle and made me chew half a pack of gum right there in the store. Funny thing is the smell of garlic no longer bothers me much. Even after the seven cloves I couldn't smell it on my own breath, and I didn't really notice it seeping from my pores. One thing for sure though, seven is probably to many to take at one time if you want any kind of social life. Since I cut it back to 2 to 3 cloves (depending on how big they are), I haven't had a problem. Using the technique in this video I've been getting all the benefits of garlic with none of the problems.
