hi everyone, thanks for the kind words and advice.
i don't have any peppermint on hand (till tomorrow) but thankfully my headaches have subsided. it gets discouraging when you start off feeling good and healthy, do a cleanse to maintain your health and get sick. i know i know, toxic die off! getting over this hump is the worst. but when over i feel so much energized! it's inpirational.
ps. i have found that drinking my regular cuppa joe in the morning helps with the bm and the headache!
