Sorry to respond to you so late - only just noticed the email! No, I didn't use malic acid/apples/ACV at all. Just pure, unadulterated H.Clarke! I have never mentioned the psychological effects of the flush either.. I feel 'lighter' emotionally. One of my friends has noticed it also, a change in me. Some old, repressed emotions surfaced after the first cleanse. It suprised me as I never anticipated non-physical benefits. I have become calmer and can now drink wine again, without suffering a negative reaction. I am excited about future cleanses as I have many allergies that hopefully will go! The psychological effects are much more exciting, however! I can' wait.
All the best.
