 I'm just wondering what kind of Garlic to take. I have a capsule machine, could I just buy bulk garlic and make my own pills?

Thanks! Bonita

 That sounds easy enough to do. I have a magic bullet blender so it would only take a sec. I'll go try it and see if I can choke it down. How many cloves a day should I do?

 LOL Ron! Exercise is an important part of recovery so it's probably a good idea you backed off on the garlic!!

 I think at that level of garlic, NO one would be biting you: human, dog, tick.

 LOL. I don't know the palm sisters personally but I'll take your word for it!!

I didn't look into the allicin yet. I'm thinking of making a tincture. You soak peeled garlic in Brandy, just enough to cover and shake several times a day for 2 weeks and then strain. Dosage, up to 25 drops/day.

I like tinctures because they're easy to take. I don't know if it's any cheaper to make my own but I guess it won't hurt to experiment with it.
