Question
Garlic tablets and kelp tablets?
I am very thin and always was. But here is my question: When I took garlic tablets I lost weight why?
And my bf took kelp tablets and he broke out into a rash on his face and got dizzy why
Answer
Hi Debbie,
Interesting questions. Garlic detoxifies the body so that the weight loss was an end result. Once your body is detoxified, your weight loss will subsist.
Why were you taking it? I take it daily and love what it does for me.
I would think that your boyfriend is allergic to the high iodine content in Kelp. He should probably avoid it.
Have him try Spirulina as a substitute.
Spirulina
Recognized as the most promising of all microalgae, spirulina is an immediate food source. It will produce twenty times as much protein as soybeans growing on an equal-sized area.
It contains concentrations of nutrients unlike any other single grain, herb, or plant. It contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), linolenic and arachidonic acids, vitamin B12, iron, a high level of protein (60 to 70 per cent), essential amino acids, the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, chlorophyll, and phycocyanin, a blue pigment found only in blue-green algae that has increased the survival rate of mice with liver cancer in lab experiments.
Spirulina is a naturally digestible food that aids in protecting the immune system, in cholesterol reduction, and in mineral absorption. I take it when fasting. It supplies the nutrients needed to cleanse and to heal, while curbing the appetite. It also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Best wishes,
Dennis
