Hi garcia.
Thanks for that interesting view. It ties in with some of what I read. I think (hope) it is only those who have the more more insidious problems who go into print on self-help web sites. - Dunno, but it can make self-help reading in this area slightly scary sometimes.
I'm not in the Aids/cancer category, and if I have any underlying issue, then I'm naware of it. (How to tell?). I'm a total believer in good nutrition, and care passionately about what goes in. I'm also aware that this infection is bloody hard to budge, and my experience of basically never getting anything wrong with me just does not lie happily with this one.
re grains. I eat wholegrain organic wheat bread (homemade), and otherwise eat a lot of raw rolled oats, raw millet flakes, wheatgerm, oatgerm. Some rye (cooked), wholegrain rice & quinoa (cooked), sesame, nuts, and sprouted pulses.
re garlic. Every day really, normally raw, one or to cloves in a dressing/salad etc. If ever I cook it I do so as lightly as possible (but then I tend to use about ten times as much anyway). (I had a raw garlic binge a few weeks ago in an effort to rid the nasties and felt fairly ill for an hour or two - It's too strong to go down without other food!).
I did note that about the earliest flare up ocurred ~ 2 years ago during the summer when I had been using a back-mounted sports drinking system a lot. It ocurred to me that possibly some of the "slime" which always grows in those (yes we do sterilize them sometimes!) might have contributed to the infection.
Thanks for your tip on the alkali food thing. I'll do some more research there. I have been growing wheatgrass recently anyhow, but only in the last few weeks. (- It grows pretty slowly in a UK winter so it's hard work getting much). I don't know about chlorella (seaweed/algae..??), I'll look it up.
Lactobacteria. - I bought some acidophilus on a whim a few weeks ago, not tried much yet. I should indulge more. I don't know what that expensive three-lac does which this can't.
Molkosan?? - (I'll look that up as well!)
Time to go and study some more then.
Regards,
