Sickly feeling while on OP

[284dan]

I started taking OP a few days ago and feel tired, sluggish and worn out. I am taking 6 capsules per day, with 3-4 moderate, watery BM. Mostly in the morning.

I am considering upping the dose to 8 capsules because I don't feel I am up to the 3-5 "large" BM per day (how do we define "large"??). However, I am concerned about my tiredness and sluggish feelings. Is this normal?

Also, do the BM's ever become more solid while on OP?

It sounds as if you are experiencing a “healing crisis,” a common occurrence while attempting to detoxify the body. People often experience flu-like symptoms while cleansing the bowel with Oxy-Powder and with other cleansers as well. These can include fatigue, headaches, mild rashes, muscle or joint aches, lack of mental clarity, insomnia, and others. These symptoms often indicate that the body is shedding bacteria or even yeast/fungus that has taken up residence in the colon. As these begin to die-off they can release many toxins that may produce an unpleasant response. The positive news is that this can signal that the body is actually ridding itself of unwanted invaders and toxins. Generally speaking, these symptoms are very short-lived and are followed by a period of increased energy.

The 6-capsule dosage appears to be the correct dosage as long as it is producing 3-4 bowel movements. It is quite normal for these to be soft to completely liquid, even after you have progressed past the cleanse and into the maintenance phase. They may become more solid after a period of time but will most likely continue to be soft.

During your cleanse, it is best to make sure that you are drinking at least ½ your body weight in ounces of purified or distilled water per day, that you get plenty of rest, and that you eat a diet that is high in raw and organic fruits and vegetables. You will most likely have a more pleasant cleansing experience by following these simple suggestions.
