• Chai, my doctor did discuss underlying causes and I don't have any of them, so he felt that diet could be the potential cause. What confuses me, however, is the amount that I need. My doctor said 300mg per day, and when I went to my local herbal sto…

• andreadugs - I didn't get that dizzy. It was probably a symptom of detox, and by eating you have delayed the process, so unfortunately, (at least from my understanding of the cleanse) you have to start again once you have broken the fast. Were you d…
