Comments on: Garlic and Detox – Can Insomnia Be a Side Effect? http://www.sixweekdetox.com/blog/2010/02/18/garlic-and-detox-can-insomnia-be-a-side-effect/ A whole body cleansing and rejuvenation program | By Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo and Tera Warner Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:49:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Mizpah http://www.sixweekdetox.com/blog/2010/02/18/garlic-and-detox-can-insomnia-be-a-side-effect/comment-page-1/#comment-154 Mizpah Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:49:27 +0000 http://www.sixweekdetox.com/blog/?p=270#comment-154 As a follow-up to my previous post, after I did the six-week detox I experimented with raw garlic and onions. I found that my tolerance for garlic is still extremely minimal but I can now do quite well with higher amounts of chives and green and red onions. I started my second round of detox recently and as the detox symptoms increased I once again found my tolerance to raw onions decreased significantly. Obviously my intolerance to garlic is directly related to some aspect of liver function. It will be interesting to see if I am able to consume garlic in the future once I have done some more extensive detox.

I was actually the one who asked the question on the support call. I never had a problem with it until I developed CFS and in the worst stages I couldn't even tolerate scallions or ginger, so this does relate to the Chinese energetic principles. Now, as my condition has improved, I can handle quite a lot of ginger and very small amounts of chives or scallions. I love the taste of garlic and appreciate all of its wonderful qualities but unfortunately my body still doesn't. But I have been using turmeric every day so it is good to know that it enhances glutathione as well. Thanks for the great article. I was actually the one who asked the question on the support call.
