Hi Dr. E.,
I’ve been taking the Total Detox for over a week; and I have a question or two. I was really expecting at least 2-3 bowel movements/day. Sometimes I have one, sometimes none! I’m thinking maybe I’m using too much water? I don’t think it said “How Much” water or juice to use. I first started using 30 drops then increased it to 40 but I’m not getting any better results. Will you let me know if I’m doing something wrong?
Thanx,
L.W.
L.W,
The biggest misconception of body detoxification is that you will have increased bowel movements. It is possible to have them but most people don’t. As most toxin is dumped into the colon the opposite phenomenon usually occurs, constipation. To counteract this you need to drink upwards of 64oz of distilled water a day and increase your fiber intake. Eat one mixed fruit salad and one mixed vegetable salad a day. On your vegetable salad use only olive oil, sea salt, pepper and spices for dressing.
You are not doing anything wrong. 1-3 bowel movements a day is normal. Just because you are doing a cleanse doesn’t mean you will increase automatically increase your bowel movements.
