you might consider doing what i do with wheatgrass and that is just keeping the dose at a level that i can feel something healing going on but no higher than that. we always want to go higher and more, but sometimes more is not better. sometimes just the perfect dose is exactly right and any more than that can actually do harm. it can stir up more toxins that our body is able to eliminate. in that case the toxins just get stirred up and moved around but not ushered out of the body.
