I have read your responses before and I respect the work you have done for yourself.

I read the original message as a genuine concern that was being met with too much sarcasm.

I do really apologize for the sarcasm, but really I was thinking of myself rather than trying to offend anyone. I was only making this point, because it can be an actual realistic situation. For eg, I was one of these people who ate pizza, junk food, chips, pop, chocolate bars, taco bell, wendy's, macdonald, burgerking, and the list goes on. And I was smoking as well. If I were to have continued these bad habits, it could have easily killed me given enough time. I remember every time I went to macdonalds I'd say to myself, "this one time won't hurt". Well that one time added up to many times over the years and I ended up with high Cholesterol. I now changed my diet, excercise, and liver flush. My cholesterol has been lowered dramatically. You can read about it in the Liver Flush Forum . So, the point I was trying to get across is "moderation". Every once in a while a chocolate bar won't kill you! As long as it is once every few months rather than once every day or two. IMO, so it is with the Wormwood , it probably won't hurt you as long as it is in "moderation" and used only for the purpose of killing parasites and discontinued after the accomplishment. Everyone knows their own tolerances. If it is causing too much die off, then perhaps quit or decrease dosage. The difference between eating too much pizza and the Wormwood is that nobody makes reference to it in this manner. If someone dies because of poor diet and other bad habits that contributed to death, they say politely "Oh, he/she died of heart failure". But, was the heart failure the actual cause of death? They don't say, "he/she died of eating too much pizza". And also, how many times have you heard, "he/she died of too much Wormwood "? Except for Van Gogh, not many!

One of the credos I keep seeing on this web site that I actually agree with the most is that "everyone is different, listen to yourself".

I absolutely agree with you 100%........... "listen to yourself". This is key. One must know their own bodies in order to heal it.

I went through a very tough die off myself and I have decided it was too hard on MY body for ME. Personally I have cut back my use of the herbs for this reason.

I've done the same, but I had a hard time distinquishing "die-off" and/or reaction from the wormwood/herbs!

I'm not digging for a debate or an arguement -

Either am I!

I am just interested in supporting that ultimate self advocacy. Anyone claiming to know better and who uses a disrespectful tone is as dangerous as the Medical Establishment is when it is disrespectful and authoritarian.

Agree!!!!!

educate - communicate - listen

Agree! Absolutely..

Keep healthy and God Bless....
