Re: Mixing It Up O/T
When one ask questions at a board like this, the answers will be colored of the experience of the poster, like 5-8 years (the long timers, moderators). Instead of attacking the one that took time to answer, a better way is to take it into consideration. You can still take whatever supplement you like.
Also; the answers given, are for 1000` of people; so even if you dont find it useful; others may. If you want a certain answer, like someone confirming the testimonials of DE, please post somewhere else. Not saying it is bad, just sharing my experience with it.
I tried DE for months, with loads of liquid, and fibers. The palpitations was the worst symptom I had from it. I still take it, but a couple of times a year is enough for me.
The silica I prefer from other sources, like greens, nettles.
About mixing things up; yes, if you have a track on what you are doing, no problem. Issue may be when one get a symptom, like palpitations in my case; what causes it? Many times I had to quit everything, then start over.
