Hi Kilmer...you do a bowel cleanse, that's what you do? Then when all the gunk is out you will be able to absorb all the nutrients from your food! Right now the mucoid plaque and toxins are blocking the absorption. Go to the Bowel Cleanse Forum and read some posts there (click on 'recommended posts) and check out Ptree's excellent post on Bentonite and psyllium: //www.curezone.org/forums/m.asp?f=105&i=979
