Thanks for your response. I have been taking 4 teaspoons for 8 months. I put it in capsules and take it 4 times a day. I drink a gallon of water a day with lemon in it. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I have been having some okay days once in awhile. Maybe I am detoxing in cycles. I feel good for about 2 days and then horrible again - very tired, some pain, headache, achy for about a week again. I never tinkered with my doses - taking less that is - I just want to get better. If I need to go through detox than so be it. I know that I am doing my body good by taking this so I just take a lot. Have you heard of people detoxing in cycles like this? I just want to know that I am not alone. Ginamarie
