If you want to loose weight you can take the psyllium (alone not with the bentonite) 30 minutes before meals and you will loose weight (not that much from loss of mucoid plaque as from loss of appetite).
It is not as much of a strain on the kindeys when you use it with bentonite, because the Bentonite neutralizes teh toxins.
Always drink a big glass of water right after the b & P shakes. Otherwise you risk constipation.
