i agree it seems the intestines have to be clean for this stuff to flow through and not get bottlenecked and detoxified by the body or broken down and neutralized before it can run full length trough the whole intestinal track... it is an oil after all and its same as per oregano oil it doesn't have the systemic potency as its easily downgraded by the body... as Chloe suggested it would be interesting to try and run it down with a salt water flush to keep it going!! maybe add some garlic juice or Grapefruit-Seed-Extract too... just thinking out here!
