Autoimmune Diseases and Herbs You Should Avoid For Better Health.
Herbs are often used as part of medicine to help the body heal after an illness; they have been used for thousands of years and probably always will be. Saying this, some herbs should be avoided whilst you’re dealing with an autoimmune disease, which can be fatal.


Herbs and garlic-in-oil mixtures are potentially hazardous
food items. The Food and Drug Administration issued an
order to manufacturers instructing them to discontinue
production of herbs and garlic-in-oil products that require
refrigeration as the only safety precaution.
If not handled properly, herbs and garlic-in-oil mixtures
can support growth of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium
that causes botulism. These bacteria are widespread in
nature, but seldom cause problems because they can’t grow
when oxygen is present.
Garlic-in-oil provides an ideal environment for Clostridium
botulinum, especially when the product has been stored at
a temperature high enough for the bacteria to grow. When
Clostridium botulinum grow in the contaminated garlic in
oil, the deadly toxin can be released into the mixture. Once
the bacteria start to grow, refrigerating the product slows
down but does not stop the production of botulinum toxin.
To reduce potential risk, this product must be handled
properly. Here are steps that you can take to reduce your
risk of botulism from garlic-in-oil mixtures.
Where You Shop:
Garlic-in-oil should be stored in the refrigerated section.
Read the label to determine if the garlic-in-oil product
contains salt, phosphoric acid or citric acid. These are
preservatives, that promote product safety.
If salt or acids are listed in the ingredient statement, the
product has been preserved. You have lower risk of food
poisoning as long as you follow directions for storing the
product.
At Home:
Refrigerate garlic-in-oil mixtures promptly.
Leftover garlic-in-oil should be discarded after two hours at
room temperature, even if salt and acid(s) are present .
Read the label and use the product as recommended by the
manufacturer.
