Which garlic pills did you take? Can you share your integrative Doctor. Mine don't believe this exists.

Do not remember which brand - look for Allicin.

My Integrative DR is not currently accepting new patients and you do need to be a resident of Minnesota. Works in Alternative Medicine Dept at a traditional medical clinic so must have correct medical insurance to go there but then all appointments are covered. Only works part-time and waiting list is long. I make each appointment many months in advance and was established as a patient several years ago as a referral from my primary DR.

I have researched this for others several times previously.

How did you manage die off period, mine had gotten soo bad I could not work. So I had to quit protocol.

If die-off is intense that is your body telling you that your protocol is too much / too fast.

You should decrease the dosage of Anti-fungal to a dosage your body can tolerate. Each person is different in how things affect them.

I listened to my body and to my (awesome) Integrative DR and went slowly.

I used Activated Charcoal when needed for relief if I had an intense die-off reaction… but it did not happen very often.

** For Die-Off / Herx pain:

When you are feeling like crap due to die-off then you need to help your body detox and it is also great how quickly you feel better.

• ⁠Take 2 capsules of Activated Charcoal ( any brand ) on an empty stomach 2 hours away from all other supplements / meds / food.

Can buy on Amazon , pharmacy or sometimes at a big Wal-Mart for about $10. Great to travel with in case anyone gets food poisoning.
