Thanks, LBD. I just had a feeling that was the case. Wonder how you explain
the memory deficits, though? these have been extreme, more than the
usual "senior moment," such as losing stuff all over the house, and thinking
I'd lost it elsewhere, forgetting what I was doing, etc., daily. Maybe something
else is going on here as well! Unfortunately I can't do my cleanse for another
2 weeks, as I'm following Julia Chang's directions to take the herbs for 3
full weeks before cleansing. Should be an interesting cleanse!

Hi Mother,
thanks for your response! The gall stones will just have to wait 2 more
weeks, as I was not planning on the cleanse till then. (next week is my
birthday and I am being taken out to dinner that weekend, so no cleanses
then! :-) I had no idea that the herbs worked that fast. I have been
having the neck time for a couple of weeks at least and wondered why. I
thought it was due to the way I was sleeping. Thanks so much for explaining
that to me! I never would have suspected. Those are some powerful herbs!
I am just following Julia's suggestion about taking the herbs for a full
3 weeks before the cleanse. I had done a cleanse once before (first week of
July) but got very little out (had not known then about these wonderful
herbs but did everthing else right). This time i know will be very different,
and I really look forward to it (to it being over with, not to the nausea
and discomfort all thru the night of doing the cleanse!). I hope that waiting
isn't going to cause me any problems, other than the annoyance of being
sleepy and dizzy at work for the next couple weeks...
